Dan Breakwell - Empowered Voice

Dan has been teaching Yoga, Qigong and Mindfulness for over a decade, alongside a varied (and sporadic) career in TV, Theatre and Film.

Initially training in Theatre (diploma at LSMT) he fled the acting world to become a Yoga teacher, only to rediscover his confidence 7 years later and enrolling in a post-grad (MA Musical Theatre) at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. During his Masters his curiosity led him to research the early influences of Eastern principles and practices over the development of theatrical training, and more specifically the interconnectivity between the body, presence/ awareness, voice and movement (sometimes referred to as the psycho-physical connection.)

Over the past 4 years he has relished the opportunity to bring these worlds together in the form of his Voice for Yoga teachers offerings on various Yoga teacher trainings. Through combining yoga, qigong, mindfulness and Somatics, Dan hopes to encourage students to foster a more playful and enjoyable relationship with their own unique voice and encourage a functional understanding of some of the personal vocal hurdles we can can come across when facilitating, leading or just living life in general.
