About Aly
Herbal Essentials founder Aly Rahimtoola is a global citizen with the perspective needed to lead a consumer goods company beyond its national borders.

Herbal Essentials offers its customers affordable, clean, cruelty-free products that are made in France with minimum 90% natural origin content.

Session Overview
Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.
About Lucy
Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.
Whether you are a beginner or a total pro, this Thursday evening , we explore your more colourful side with this easy to paint, water colour class. Switch off from your busy week and learn something new. You can connect with yourself and others by using drawing as your muse in a bid to keep your creativity healthy and your innovation strong. Unwind for an hour and enjoy the benefits that drawing provides as it destresses you and improves your hand-eye coordination.

Everyone has the same fundamental six “human needs” or driving forces. However, each person places different levels of importance on them and finds a unique way to satisfy those needs.
By knowing what your number one human need is and how that shapes your behaviour, you are able to take control over your life’s direction and even learn how to create new patterns that unlock your hidden potential and lead you to lasting fulfilment. You will learn:
– What are the six human needs that drive our behaviour (why we do what we do).
– Which one of these needs is most important to you and how you are consciously or subconsciously trying to meet it.
– What are the negative and, most importantly, what are the positive ways of meeting your needs.
