Over coming Tech.

Written By Rebecca Dobson

I think I may have actually done it! No not nailed the handstand entirely, I think I’ve actually managed to create a GetCalmer YouTube Video which not only has good audio, but good video quality too!

For people who don’t know me very well, I am an absolute techno-phobe, and have no interest in technology. When people start talking technology (and when I say people, I mean my husband) my eyes glaze over and my mind starts playing ‘lift music’. So when I say I’ve produced something good, I actually mean it.

This passed year has made, no, forced me to overcome technology, taking my yoga classes on-line, and having to re-think the way I’m going to teach, not just over lockdown but for the future. I can’t tell you how many YouTube videos I’ve watched on “How to make YouTube Videos’!!

I’ve been teaching on-line now for a year, I can’t quite believe it’s been a year. So you would have thought that I was comfortable being in front of a screen, a natural…. When I started to record my videos, I never realised that I wouldn’t, couldn’t even say my own name without getting it wrong! Who can’t even say their own name out loud and get it wrong??? Er…me?

So, to coming back with “I think I’ve actually done it” - and be proud of sending the video (6th effort) out into the big wide world is a major achievement.

Let me know what you think.. It’d be great to hear from you

Rebecca Dobson

Rebecca founded GetCalmer in 2001, with a vision to pass on her knowledge and passion of holistic therapies to others and ultimately to help people "get calmer".

Having a sales background, Rebecca knew only too well the stressful effects that working in a pressurised environment can have on the body, and how little people take care of themselves.

With this in mind, Rebecca followed her passion and spent a year re-training in various holistic therapies, including massage and Reiki, gaining experience working privately, in spa’s and practicing onsite massage in the workplace.

Since completing her Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in 2006, Rebecca has been taught by many worldwide accredited yoga teachers over the years, including Claire Missingham, Kathryn Budig, Jason Crandell and the most influential Dr. Francoise Freedman, Director and Founder of Birthlight. All of which have shaped her in to the yoga teacher she is today. Rebecca would describe herself as a down to earth teacher and therapist who is personable, creative, patient and intuitive. She lightly weaves yoga philosophy and anatomy into her classes, making them well-rounded and accessible. In her opinion, yoga isn’t just about busting a pose, it’s so much more than that; yoga can help you understand yourself, others and the world we live in; all you need is an open mind.

Rebecca’s next mission is to spread the word to every Woman on the profound benefits of yoga to help improve and enhance Women’s health. Who knows at this point where it will lead her, but I bet you any money it’ll be something truly exciting!
