Founder of Yoga Seedlings I have over twelve years’ experience working as an art teacher in primary and secondary schools. I am a smiley, plant-powered, wellbeing enthusiast of multiple movement disciplines. My yoga journey equipped me with a life-changing toolkit that has me taught me how to care for myself physically, mentally and emotionally. Yoga gives my life balance and boosts my sense of playfulness, which stops me from taking myself so seriously! I have a deep gratitude for the joy and spiritual richness that the teachings of yoga have brought to my life. This led me to combine my two passions: yoga and the development of young people to create ‘Yoga Seedlings’, promoting yoga as a way of life from an early age. It is my mission to share yoga with as many young people as possible. I have completed both children and teen yoga teaching training with Yoga Alliance accredited Helen Clare of Class Yoga and Charlotta Martinus of Teen Yoga. I also trained with Ieva Wildbeamer of Rainbow Kids Yoga in Yoga for Kids and Families. Instagram: @yoga_seedlings Facebook: @yogaseedlings1

Anna Jordane is a Maturation Coach with a specific interest in emotions. In her work she guides people to tune into their emotions, helps them be with what comes up and supports them as they move through emotional discomfort that may arise. She grew up bilingual and coaches in both English & French Maturation coaches hold a safe space from which a person can start to distinguish their story - the repetitive patterns that have been living their life. It starts with realising that the common thread with all that has happened to you is that you were involved, so it starts with taking responsibility or at least wanting to take responsibility for your being from here on out. You can find more information about Anna’s work and contact her directly via her website annajordane.com or find her on Instagram @anna.jordane

Welcome to my corner of the digital realm, where the transformative power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) converges with the alleviation of social anxiety and workplace-related worries. I'm elated to share my journey and expertise with you. Having walked the path of navigating the intricate labyrinth of anxiety myself, I understand the profound impact it can have on both our personal interactions and our professional aspirations. It was through my own exploration of NLP that I discovered a beacon of hope – a methodology that not only provided me with tools to understand the workings of my mind but also bestowed upon me the power to rewrite the narratives that once held me back. With a heart full of empathy and an arsenal of NLP techniques at my disposal, I am dedicated to guiding you on a voyage towards liberation from the clutches of social and workplace anxiety. Together, we'll delve into the intricacies of NLP, using language patterns, perceptual shifts, and cognitive reframing to untangle the knots that anxiety weaves. As we progress, you'll gain invaluable skills to rewrite your own narrative, replacing apprehension with confidence and self-doubt with self-assuredness. The journey towards a life free from social and workplace anxiety begins here. Join me as we harness the power of NLP to sculpt a future where you navigate social interactions effortlessly, and thrive in your professional pursuits. Let's take the first step together – towards a life marked by newfound confidence, connection, and success. Contact Details Email: bobbypatel1808@gmail.com Website Instagram

Brahmacharini Jahnavi Ma has been a devoted follower of Sri Bhagavan since she met him in Varanasi, India, in 2011. She serves as the main contact for the International Vedanta Society in the UK. Originally from England, Jahnavi Ma combines her experience of a fast paced, modern society with her deep knowledge of ancient Eastern spirituality, offering a balanced and relatable approach to life. For the past 13 years, Jahnavi Ma has worked tirelessly to spread the teachings of Vedanta, both in the UK and internationally. She has accompanied Sri Bhagavan on numerous spiritual tours across India, Europe, the UK, Indonesia, and Malaysia. On January 3rd, 2024, Jahnavi Ma was initiated into the path of Brahmacharya, dedicating her life to the service and upliftment of humanity. Brahmacharya, in Vedanta, means living in the awareness of the divine, or pure infinite consciousness. Through deep meditation and spiritual practice, she has cultivated a mind that is no longer focused on individual concerns but flows naturally towards the welfare of all. Jahnavi Ma is currently working to establish a permanent spiritual centre, or Ashram, in the UK. While she primarily operates in and around London, she also visits other parts of the UK. If you are interested in organizing a spiritual gathering at your home or a local venue, Jahnavi Ma is happy to share her knowledge and practices with you.

My name is Nicole Robertson and I’m a qualified Life Coach, Counsellor and Positive Psychologist. At a young age I became unwell and this caused a serious decline in both my physical and mental health. From this I decided to dedicate my life to helping people to live the best version of their lives, this was when Buoyant Therapy was born. I really struggled to decide on what kind of therapist I wanted to be, so I kept my options open by looking at holistic therapies. I now have three diplomas and plan on adding to this continuously. My business allows me to help people with almost anything by treating the person as a whole rather using one specific area and using various coaching and counselling skills.

Since a young age my life was always drawn to the alternative side of society. When I was 16 years old, my path led me towards spirituality and I met Sri Chinmoy, an inspiring and spiritual person, who is a teacher in meditation and music, as well as an artist and philosopher. I started to practice meditation on a daily basis and my life quickly started to change and move in a very good direction. I stopped smoking, drinking on the weekends, and started to do quite a lot of sports, lost a few pounds and started running. Since then I have run quite a few marathons and a few 10 and 12hr races. Running for me is not just running, it is also deeply healing, it clears my thoughts and emotions and it gives me a lot of energy. Sri Chinmoy really turned my teenage years in the right direction. Over the years the meditation group had a lot of workshops and seminars, where Sri Chinmoy was training us and showing us the art of our thoughts and emotional world. He was teaching us how to control and also transcend our thoughts, especially our negative states of mind and emotions. To learn how to deal with these states, first we have to become aware of what is happening inside of us. For this, meditation is the greatest tool. It brings you awareness of your own thoughts and emotions running deep within you. Once this happens you can easily transcend them. Later I became a member of a girl spiritual band "Blue Flower". We travel the world and offer the experience of meditation through music. The music is deeply healing, composed by Sri Chinmoy and it lifts every heart. Some years later I came across Rapid Transformational Therapy and Marisa Peer. I instantly felt drawn to it, because it just offered so much to me. I found myself in every word and I knew there was something special for me to find. For me the therapy was an absolutely unique experience that I am truly grateful for. Rapid Transformational Therapy made me realise that all that was holding me back was a limiting belief about myself that I thought was true. Since then I am even more dedicated to learn how we can inspire each other and help each other as human beings.
