The Rhythm of Being

A 5-Week Journey into Zen, Yoga & Pranayama to Find Flow in Everyday Life

January 1st 2026 - February 5th 2026

Build the right habits for better balance.

In the midst of all the rushing, deadlines, and noise, we often lose our connection to what is steady, true, and whole inside us. Rhythm of Being is your invitation home - a guided 5-week exploration of Zen, movement and breathing practices, helping you to build a practice that supports you in this busy modern world.

This course is designed for everyone: beginners who are looking for a clear place to start, and seasoned practitioners who want to deepen their practice to refine lasting habits. Together we’ll learn tools that don’t require you to abandon your daily responsibilities but that support you within them. You’ll practice breath techniques to quiet the mental clutter, flows to awaken and align the body, and moments of stillness to remember who you truly are beyond the doing.

By the end of our journey, you’ll begin to reclaim balance, presence, and ease - not as an escape, but as a lived way of being, even on your busiest days. If your heart longs for more clarity, groundedness, and the peace of returning home to yourself this course is for you.

Course Structure

Each week, we’ll explore new mindful movement and yogasana practices, a focused pranayama (breathing) technique, and a Zen meditation method in a live weekly sessions for you to carry into your daily life. I will be guiding you to integrate these tools into a consistent routine, supported by journaling prompts and a warm, encouraging online community container, where we can share, support, and grow together.

  • We’ll introduce the course, the practices, the lineage and why mindfulness more important than ever in today’s busy world. You’ll learn yoga postures and mindful movement to prepare our bodies and systems for meditation, Dirga Pranayama (or 3-part breathing) to connect to our breathing, and a Nanso No Ho (body scan) meditation to come into your body and observe yourself fully.

  • We’ll explore how our habits create challenges for us and how awareness transforms them. You’ll learn stronger yoga postures awaken the body, Chit Shakti & Kapalbhati pranayama to clear and energise your system, and Counting-the-Breath meditation to sharpens our focus.

  • We’ll learn to care for ourselves and others, and why this mindset supports our inner balance. You’ll learn the Qi Gong practices of the 8 Brocades to feel your movement fully, Bhramari & Vritti Pranayama to slow and soften our systems, and a Following-the-Breath meditation to widen our presence and gentleness.

  • We’ll discover the common challenges in mindful living and how to navigate them to deepen our practice. You’ll learn Yin yoga postures help you slow down, Ujayi & Nadi Shodhana pranayama bring balance into our breathing, and Zazen meditation train our minds towards pure presence.

  • We’ll bring everything we have learned together and explore how to weave mindfulness into daily life. You’ll learn gentle Qi Gong practices you can do anywhere, Brahmanda Pranayama to connect beyond the breath, and walking meditation to give you practical tools to carry balance, ease, and clarity beyond the course.

Rather than live for ‘shoulds’ ‘woulds’ and ‘coulds’, can we instead learn to live with what is? Can we slow things down enough to notice what is happening, here and now, and dance with it long enough to appreciate that it is as much a part of us as we are of it?

Why Practice Meditation and Mindfulness?

Research is now supporting what sages have understood for millennia – that mindfulness practices can help improve both our emotional well-being and physical health, while teaching us better ways to handle life’s challenges. From Oxford to Harvard, research teams have noted connections between mindfulness practices and improved life outlook, lower levels of anxiety and depression, better health, and generally more satisfying lifestyles and relationships.

Yet still mindfulness is practiced by the very few, still often seen as a burden, a bit ‘woo-woo’, or not the quick fix our modern society demands. But mindfulness is for everyone. We do not have to become monks or exile ourselves into caves to benefit from mindfulness meditation – it is something we can shape into our busy lives. It is a simple and natural thing – there is nothing special or magical to believe in. We just do it. And by doing so, we can re-introduce what we have lost in our modern, busy lives - a mindset dedicated to our wellness and compassion above all else.
