Vitals
Introducing Vitals — A Mindful Movement Practice by Samu Studio
For the last decade, I’ve been exploring Qigong on and off, alongside studying Zen Shiatsu and other practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. These systems all work with the meridian channels and focus on balance — physically, emotionally, and energetically. Over time, they’ve shaped how I create, how I move, and how I make sense of the world.
As much as my life revolves around art and design, I’ve felt a growing pull toward the movement and wellness space. After years of laptop-based work, I wanted to offer something more embodied — something that brings people together through breath, awareness, and gentle, grounding practice.
That’s where Vitals comes in.
Vitals is a Qigong-inspired movement class designed to help you feel more connected — to your body, your energy, and the present moment. It’s not about performance or flexibility; it’s about flow, awareness, and the simple act of paying attention.
Each session moves through a natural energetic sequence: Opening → Cleansing → Activation → Cultivation → Circulation → Expansion → Refinement → Closing.
Vitals lives within the Samu Studio ecosystem because it follows the same principles that guide my creative work — mindful living, simplicity, intention, and a respect for nature and the body. Art, sound, and movement all share the same foundation: presence.
I’m currently in talks with wellness studios across Norwich and Norfolk, with plans to start classes soon. In the warmer months, I’ll also be hosting sessions outdoors — in parks, on the coast, and in natural spaces where we can ground ourselves and practise with bare feet on the earth.
If you run a studio or wellness space, I’m open to collaborations. If you’re interested in private home sessions, I offer those too.
To follow the journey:
This is a soft launch — the beginning of something I’ve been quietly working on for years, now ready to share with the community.
