The Rhythm of Being

A 5-Week Journey into Zen, Yoga & Breathwork to Overcome Anxiety, Burnout, and Overwhelm

January 1st 2026 - February 5th 2026

From Burnout to Balance 

For most of my adult life, I lived with anxiety and depression. As an overstretched technology executive ticking all the life boxes I was ‘supposed to’ I thought the goal was just to push forwards - to work harder, do more, stay busy enough to never feel it. But eventually, it all fell apart - the job, the relationship, the life trajectory - and I crashed and burned out.

I tried everything - from therapy to hypnosis - to ‘fix’ myself so that I could get back on track. But it was only when I stumbled across mindfulness, yoga and breathwork that I learned that it was never about ‘fixing’ myself, but about changing my relationship with the world and the way I approached it. At first it wasn’t easy. Sitting still felt impossible. But slowly, I began to learn tools that helped me calm my nervous system, meet my thoughts with more kindness, and find moments of peace - even in the middle of chaos.

Rhythm of Being was born from that journey. A space to share the same practices that changed my life - in a grounded, accessible way for anyone struggling with stress, overwhelm, or the weight of modern life.

Reclaim Calm, Clarity & Presence

Each week, we’ll explore new mindful movement practices, a focused breathwork (pranayama) 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 yogic 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 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, Kapalbhati pranayama to cleanse our system and introduce clarity, 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, Nadi Shodhana to slow down and 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?

What Do I Need: Internet access, a pen and a journal – mindfulness doesn’t require much!

Cost: I believe that mindfulness should benefit all, not just those who can afford it. As a result, I operate on a donations basis. As a guide, the recommended donation is £200-£550, so donate based on what you can afford. Contributing more allows me to share the practice of mindfulness with others who cannot afford it, and the more mindful we all are, the better life is for each of us. 

You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Overwhelmed.

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.
