Have you tried… Funk the Buddha

Deni Kirkova attended the Funk the Buddha launch party at Westbourne Studios. Here’s what it’s all about…

Born in the clubs and art galleries of Berlin and now spreading its funky vibe through Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Istanbul and London, Funk the Buddha is the new yoga craze you need to try. It’s holistic gone hip, down dogs gone disco.

Founded by Rachel Okimo (pictured below) – yoga teacher with seven years’ experience and passionate creative drive – Funk the Buddha mixes dance, culture and yoga to bring Londoners a bi-monthly pop-up encompassing 90 minutes of yoga practised to the beat of a DJ set, entertainment, socialising, optional dinner and drinks, and a goody bag, for just £20. And it comes guilt-free – as you earn your booze through the workout, having fun along the way.

Next session is 22 September; theme yet to be announced.
