Yoga for Actors

Yoga £5 drop-in classes

Monday 4:30 - 5:30pm

Wednesday 4:30 - 5:30pm

Yoga for actors is a yoga class centred on the actor. It incorporates elements of meditation and pranayama (breathing) within the framework of a dynamic asana (pose) practice. The class will challenge the actor to remain present and in the moment as they are encouraged to go within and find the essence of themselves, whether that is in the midst of a challenging pose or in meditation. Yoga for actors is a powerful complement to the work being undertaken in the acting class and it will strengthen and develop the tools already being used in it.  

Paul Mclaughlin is a yoga teacher and an actor. Paul holds Yoga Teacher (Hatha) and Advanced Yoga Teacher (Hatha) diplomas from the British School of Yoga. He is a 300 hour accredited teacher on the Yoga Register (YR) with the Independent Yoga Network (IYN). Paul is currently training to be an Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher. Anusara is based on universal principles of alignment and opening the heart to grace. Paul has studied acting for the last few years having trained at the Actors Centre Australia in Sydney in 2006. Paul continues to pursue his acting with the amazing benefits that yoga brings to the craft. Paul ardently feels that yoga and acting are very similar and the development of the actor's yoga practice plays beautifully into the actor's acting practice; on stage, in front of the camera and in life.
