Even more interesting twists on yoga popping up!

Happy Sunday Tribe! :)

Sorry for going quiet, it's been an extremely busy time. To make up for the lack of content, here's a teaser clip from our debut hip-hop yoga event that took place at Hamilton House on Saturday 1st April 2017; filmed and edited by Amber Baker.

We teamed up with Nays Yoga to bring Bristol a new workshop that used a cohesive blend of yoga stretches and hip-hop dance sequences to evoke self-empowerment through movement, challenging the body to old school beats.

ENJOY! :)

WOW!! BIG Thank you to the extremely talented Stephanie Pearl Peregrine who took photographs at this event. You really captured the positive energy in the room :)

This debut event was hosted for my Events Management Degree Dissertation. It was an experimental process, gaining insights into how a hybrid music-yoga event might fit into Bristol's conventional yoga offerings.

BIG thank yous to all involved, you all contributed towards making this project a success... :)

The attendee responses and post-event feedback was positive and constructive which will help to shape future ATCS events. :) I will take all feedback into account to help make necessary improvements to the customer experience.

For some, Hip Hop is just as therapeutic, spiritual, and transformative as yoga. For others, yoga is just as energising and fun as hip hop can be. Hip hop is art of the mind and soul. Yoga is art of the body.

These two cultures have a synergistic relationship in my eyes and I think fusing them together should be seen in a positive, not negative light, especially in the contemporary world where traditional concepts are in a constant state of flux. Refreshing old ideas with new ones is what makes life interesting. :D

This statement from Anthony Thomas talking about core hip-hop values resonated with me just now. It seemed relevant given some of the remarks and negative comments from last weekend :)

3) Change the game

"Hip Hop is a revolutionary culture that revels in its irreverence. A Hip Hop driven life has no time for tradition, Hip Hop is a culture of permanent rebellion, a constant challenge to the status quo making it a culture of outsiders. Hence Hip Hop is in a constant state of flux and becoming. As soon as Hip Hop appears to be fixed it shifts."

Seems we aren't the only one playing on the name A Tribe Called Quest :) Great minds!

You'll never look at yoga the same way again.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of those who were supportive over the past few days and kept positive throughout. Despite all of the negative comments and scrutiny received over the weekend, this event is still going ahead on Saturday :) and we're really looking forward to it! :D

I would just also like to clarify that the event is not being run for profit, I am just about covering costs even if all tickets are sold.

This is an event I am running for my dissertation. The concept was decided after researching recent trend data and observations about alternative yoga practices happening around the UK currently. It seemed like an interesting and fun concept that would be fitting to Bristol's diverse yoga offerings.
