I am half Japanese and Sri Lankan, having lived in Japan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Kenya and the UK all through my life.  I used to be introduced up in a detailed knit household that upheld Buddhist philosophies and Japanese traditions and values. From a younger age, I used to be drawn to such philosophies and knowledge as a lifestyle and mindfulness and meditation have been invaluable practices in my journey.

We’re nonetheless within the early levels of our journey as a studio however I’ve had the privilege to fulfill so many fantastic individuals together with our extremely skilled lecturers and studio assistants, our superb neighborhood, collaborators and organisations.

For so long as I can keep in mind, opening 7Breaths has been a private lifelong challenge borne out of the concept to create a certainly one of a sort, contemplative sanctuary within the coronary heart of London for busy Londoners. Having had private experiences of various levels of tension, my honest hope is to assist others by making a protected area the place collectively we be taught to decelerate, de-stress and deepen our understanding of ourselves and of others.

I consider that our studio is a singular mix of a standard yoga studio and a meditation centre. We have now deliberately created a peaceful sanctuary nestled in a quiet, hidden oasis in central London. We provide 30 and 45 minute evidence-based meditative and movement-based teachings aimed toward slowing down and cultivating current second consciousness. We deal with strategies to breathe effectively via guided meditations within the type of our signature class, mindfulness meditation, sound meditation, mantra meditation, yogic breathwork, yoga nidra, and meditative motion practices together with qigong, restorative yoga, yin yoga, hatha yoga and gradual somatic yoga.

We targeted on making a serene area utilizing pure supplies together with paper lanterns, linen, tiles, wooden, stone and muted colors in collaboration with Elizabeth Keenan Studio who labored meticulously to convey our imaginative and prescient to life to exacting requirements. Moreover, we champion feminine based companies and have collaborated collectively to curate a line of restricted version wellbeing merchandise together with soothing natural Korean teas, incense holders, flower bowls and tea cups, soy aromatherapy candles, and handmade crystal bracelets. We additionally provide instructional workshops and specialize in immersive candlelit and scent crammed experiences for 1-1, non-public group periods and company wellbeing and group constructing occasions.

What recommendation would you give to somebody who’s considering of opening their very own studio?

My predominant recommendation to those that aspire to open their very own studio is to recollect to maintain issues easy.  Typically, we might overthink and over plan which might result in over complicating the method. Begin even for those who really feel you aren’t prepared as a result of it’s within the determining that issues. Have a transparent thought and a stable finance construction and in my expertise, having a mentor is an absolute should!

Do you may have a quote or mantra that you simply dwell by?

My most favorite quote of all time is by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Zen Buddhist monk, peace activist, instructor and prolific author and calligrapher.

“To be stunning means to be your self. You don’t have to be accepted by others. It’s essential to settle for your self.’
