It’s all a little last minute but thanks to friends in, er, places, I’m going to be doing three yoga sessions at geek gathering BarCampBrighton! An ‘unconference’ where all the delegates talk for half an hour on a subject of their choice (places are free but limited), it takes place this weekend at the University of the Sussex, Falmer.
I thought it’d be a good opportunity to show people who are a bit nervous about a drop-in class, or committing to a course, exactly what yoga’s all about and how it’s perfect for anyone who sits at a desk all day. I just think that too many of us these days (and I include myself here) spend so much time tapping away on a computer (ahem) that we forget to fit in time to look after ourselves physically and mentally. And even ten minutes a day can work wonders for stiff shoulders or aching backs. Hopefully I can teach a few postures or movements that people can take away and do at home and maybe spark their interest a little.
I’m actually very excited about going! It should be a fun mix of people – and they’re all open to learning and doing new things. Brilliant.
And after all, I’m not a complete ‘non-geek’ myself: I work in the media, watch BSG, have a fondness for stationery and spend far too many of my waking hours sat at a computer
