Samuel Gimson is a multifaceted artist and yogi who masterfully intertwines the worlds of mindful movement and soulful expression. His yoga journey began in 2015, originally as a means to recover from weightlifting injuries. What started as physical healing soon evolved into a profound exploration of yoga's eight limbs. In 2023, Samuel underwent transformative yoga teacher training in Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa at Rishikesh Yogkulam, deepening his commitment to self-discovery and holistic wellness.

 

In 2024, Samuel trained with Patrick Beach at the Awakening Yoga Academy and is currently teaching Awakening Yoga. Awakening Yoga, with its focus on accessibility, curiosity, and endless discovery, resonates deeply with Samuel’s teaching philosophy. This modern yoga system honours traditional rituals while embracing practical, functional approaches to asana. Samuel's classes specialising in Vinyasa Flow invite students to engage in mindful rituals, cultivate intrinsic motivation, and explore their fullest potential.

 

Awakening Yoga serves as a mirror for self-reflection, guiding practitioners through a journey of curiosity and critical thinking. Samuel encourages his students to ask questions, practice diligently, and delve deeper into their personal exploration. With a balance of freedom and structure, his teaching creates a space for safe, focused, and creative learning, embodying the principles of ritual, intrinsic motivation, freedom, structure, and potentiality.

 

Simultaneously, Samuel has made significant strides in the realm of creative expression. Transitioning from his early contributions to hip hop, he is now taking a more poetic expression into something that blurs the lines between rapper and spoken word artist. His artistic works delve into the complexities of the human experience, heavily influenced by shadow work and spiritual awareness cultivated through his yoga practices. Themes of spiritual seeking and societal reflection are poignantly expressed in Samuel’s writings, resonating deeply with audiences.

 

In music and poetry, Samuel explores fears, traumas, and emotions with authenticity and depth. While rooted in hip hop, his artistic range extends to experimental genres, creating a rich and diverse tapestry of sound and meaning. Looking ahead, Samuel envisions merging his passions for yoga and music, performing at yoga festivals and events where movement and verse harmoniously unite.

 

Beyond the mat and the microphone, Samuel Gimson invites others to join him on a transformative journey transcending boundaries, embracing vulnerability, and resonating with the shared essence of the human spirit. Whether through the mindful practice of Awakening Yoga or the evocative power of his poetry and music, Samuel continues to inspire and guide others towards personal and collective transformation.
