The film

A fast March 2020 class-library build that helped a physical studio keep teaching when the room had to close.

The approach

Over a few days, teachers came in one at a time for full flows, shorter classes, yoga nidra and breathwork sessions. The finished playlist stayed hidden for members and gave students a way to keep practising at home while the physical studio was closed.

James built a practical three-camera setup with lav mics and natural studio light, then edited the classes into a simple online library for members. The work was not flashy; it was fast, calm and useful at a moment when the community needed a way to keep moving together.

March 2020 member library

A quick online class library when the studio had to close.

The project turned an empty yoga studio into a small production space, with one teacher at a time and a repeatable setup for full-length classes.

The library ran more than twenty classes, mostly 45- and 60-minute flows, with quieter sessions for yoga nidra and breathing work. It gave members something real to follow from home while in-person classes were shut down.

The teachers were miked with lavs and filmed from three angles in natural light. Each class also received its own carefully designed thumbnail so members could find the right practice quickly.
