Santander UK Heartful Cycling Workshop

A huge thank you to everyone at Santander UK for coming to my Cycle Your Heart Out workshop at Unity Place! It was amazing to see their creativity as they designed a heart route scroll to give to their loved ones! Cities included Milton Keynes, Rome, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Porto!! 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇵🇹

The workshop was designed to introduce employees to the power of Heartful cycling and conscious breathing. We explored how it's more than just a form of transport or exercise, and how it can be a tool for mental clarity, self-reflection, and stress relief.

I explained the benefits of conscious breathing while cycling or walking, helping people to understand how breath awareness can enhance focus, reduce stress, and create a deeper connection with their surroundings.

I also shared my popular 2 minute beach meditation postcard, giving everyone a simple yet powerful tool to take home and practice mindfulness in their own time. 

Some people joined me in a guided meditation, focusing on the rhythm of their breath and the feeling of movement, even while stationary. We then discussed ways to integrate mindfulness into their daily commutes or weekend rides, transforming each journey into an opportunity for self-discovery and inner peace.

One of the main highlights was seeing people design heart-shaped cycling routes for their loved ones, sparking inspiration and connection through creativity, it also just happened to be Valentine's day that week...

Why It Matters

Bringing mindfulness into the workplace is essential, especially in fast-paced office environments. My unique workshop gave Santander employees the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Many left feeling more grounded, inspired, and motivated to cycle with heartfelt intention, both in their professional and personal lives.
