Dan has a deep passion for yoga, meditation and sound, and their capacity to foster connection, realisation, and transformation. Through experiencing the polarities of recovery, spiritual discipline, and neurodivergence, yoga is teaching him to navigate life with fluidity, balance, and equanimity. His 10+ years as a yoga student spans philosophical, devotional, and musical traditions, with over 500hrs of formal training in mind-body practices. Trauma-informed trainings – including yoga therapy and mindfulness for addiction recovery, as well as meditation and peer-support facilitation for mental health– have given him tools for emotional regulation and nurturing embodied presence. During his BA (hons) in Applied Music, he expanded on his study of Hindustani Classical and mantra music, by exploring the yoga of sound as a therapeutic modality and examining the social dynamics of community music-making. In his events, he weaves together yoga, meditation, sound and interactive music to create immersive, socially engaged experiences. In an increasingly individualistic, atomised society, Dan believes deeply in the power of nurturing both inner and outer connection. He shares practices across diverse communities – including care-experienced youth, New Scots, people with additional support needs, and those in mental health, addiction recovery, and criminal justice settings – bridging ancient and contemporary ideas to foster accessible entry points for people to find the yoga that works for them.
