The Meditation Man / Mandem Yoga

Vincent de Freitas, also known as The Meditation Man or Mandem Yoga, is a highly experienced and dedicated Yoga instructor based in Norwich. With a background as a Fire Officer in the London Fire Brigade for 15 years, Vincent has a unique perspective on mindfulness and well-being.

Vincent's journey into the world of meditation and Yoga began at an early age, where he was drawn to the idea that humans are more than just physical and psychological beings. This curiosity led him to study numerous books and teachings, with a particular interest in Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhist traditions.

Throughout his practise, Vincent has honed his skills in various forms of meditation, utilising focal points of attention as well as non-focal practises. This has allowed him to cultivate a deep sense of awareness and understanding of his own emotions, thoughts, and concepts.

Vincent is a highly qualified instructor, having trained with the prestigious British Wheel of Yoga and achieving the highest level of teaching qualification in the UK. He is also registered with the British School of Meditation, where he was awarded a distinction for his work.

In addition to his expertise in traditional Yoga practises, Vincent has a keen interest in YIN Yoga. He recently qualified with Gillian Cawte, who is renowned in the field and comes from the direct lineage of Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and Paulie Zink. This enables Vincent's classes to integrate Chinese philosophy, movement, and mindfulness, providing a holistic approach to well-being.

Whether you're experiencing stress, sleepless nights, low energy, or simply seeking to maintain a sense of balance, Vincent's Yoga and Meditation classes can guide you towards rediscovering your natural state of well-being. His approach is inclusive, welcoming anyone who is interested in finding inner peace and improving their overall quality of life.
