Jazz Yoga: Sound, Movement and Wellbeing

Music lovers know the powerful effects sound can have on your wellbeing. Euphoric feelings after going to a gig, or falling asleep to something slow and melodic. That’s why this year, the London Jazz Festival will be exploring this further by collaborating with Yoga Brunch Club to create Jazz Yoga, an immersive sound and movement experience to promote wellbeing. 

As well as the ability sound has to trigger the release of endorphins, slow the heart rate and help to reduce stress and anxiety levels, movement also has a myriad of health benefits. Ensuring essential nutrients are absorbed properly, waste is removed from the body and the brain, fueling energy levels, improving sleep, balancing sugar levels, releasing ‘happy hormones’ serotonin and endorphins and increasing resilience to stress, to name a few!

This November, the London Jazz Festival in collaboration with Yoga Brunch Club will explore the impact of music and movement on wellbeing through a yoga flow class accompanied by live cellist Francesca Ter-Berg. 

Yoga Brunch Club was created in 2014 by Clem Balfour with the intention of creating a community around yoga and great food. Nearly 10 years on, Yoga Brunch Club has grown to host sell-out events across London and Bristol, featuring at festivals including Wilderness and Lost Village, running retreats and pop-ups and has collaborated with the likes of Liberty London and The Guardian. Yoga Brunch Club has a reputation for creating beautiful and unique experiential events, selecting incredible yoga teachers to create inclusive and memorable classes. 

Yoga teacher Emily-Clare Hill will be working closely with cellist Francesca Ter-Berg to marry sound and movement in a seamless sequence, allowing guests to experience Francesca’s ethereal combination of cello, vocals and live electronics in a way like never before.
