About your Host: Arya Thampuran 

'I’m a researcher in the medical humanities at Durham University by day, and my work on mental health and healing follows me onto the mat when I clock off (in the best possible way!). My interest in yoga is both professional and deeply personal; it’s opened my eyes to how the body and breath can be harnessed and harmonised to empower us. I come from a South Indian background and grew up listening to the mythology behind our poses, so I love incorporating some storytelling into my flows. Classes will be mellow and mindful, cultivating a compassionate relationship with movement.'
