Hiya! I’m Dionne.

I spend my time sharing yoga and movement techniques, usually combined with music and sometimes saying inappropriate things.

I run projects in various locations including a fro-yo warehouse, art museums, lofts and remote islands doing a range of things like yoga classes, workshops and retreats.

I also DJ and write, and i´m based between Brighton UK and Bergen, Norway. Now and then i play records (or MP3s), sometimes alone, sometimes as Brød & Smør. I´m usually dancing in equal measure. We host silent discos too. Find them here.

Many of you are here for yoga stuffs, so here´s some words about my approach to yoga. You can click on my schedule above to see if i´m lurking near you soon (non creepily). Or you can have a gander at some of my projects here. 

I´m INTERESTED in lots of things. Here are a few:

• Prince. (Dedicated Pinterest board of some faves mostly featuring him)
• Animals. Give them to me! Especially if they´re a bit paunchy, and/or talking.
• Food. Particularly if it´s Caribbean. Don´t tell me what to eat/not eat.
• What Chilli Wants. Not linked to above. Find it on youtube. Devour in 90s nostalgia and cringy dating show formulae. It´s overtaken Millionaire Matchmaker, but even-Stevens with The Great British Bakeoff (everybody needs their “thing”).
• Going down YouTube rabbitholes.
• Art.
• Music. Too much to mention. Some mixes and playlists scattered all over the shop. I´m on Spotify and Mixcloud on the regular though if you dabble. There´s a link to yoga playlists here.
  I used to do radio thingies with my radio hubster. You can wander down a musty memory lane and find some of them here (features music and loving squabbles).
• Tea. It´s in the blood.
• Coconut oil. Also in the blood.
• the Others. Otherness in all forms. Being mixed race. Living between cultures. Challenging misconceptions. Changing perspectives. Changing the menu.
• Tumblr. One of my other homes. Find a condensed jam of most things in this list.
• Yoga-movement-dance in the bathroom. In fact, yoga-movement-dance anywhere!
• Gordon Ramsay. Don´t ask. ok then, it´s in his delivery.
• Mariah (Mimi) Carey. As above.
• Eartha Kitt. (What a woman).
• Film watching and making. Fave films which are forever changing and include: Purple Rain (obvs), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Frida, Caché, Ex Machina, Moloch Tropical, Julie and Julia, Bad Education (2004), The Motorcycle Diaries (there´s a theme there), Fish Tank, The Interrupters, Ratatouille, everything by Mike Leigh, 90s r&b music videos….
• Social justice.
• Writing about any/all of the above.
