Marta Masiero - GCC Digital - Flow and Restore Yoga Workout
My love for yoga began in 2011. I was living and working as a dancer in Scotland, attending daily Mysore and guided ashtanga classes in Glasgow with Rosina Bonsu, who since then has been my constant source of wisdom and inspiration. First attracted to yoga for its physical benefits, I soon became aware of its healing property, where the body and mind find harmony through mindfulness in movement.
While working in Australia as a dancer, in 2016 I decided the time was right to complete my first yoga teacher training. I graduated at Byron Yoga Centre in New South Wales and once back in the UK, I immediately began teaching alongside dancing and touring. My vinyasa classes are dynamic and invigorating, with attention to alignment and sensitive adjustments.
In 2020 I traveled to Thailand to complete a training with Annie Au in yin yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, experiencing a more soulful approach to the already soothing and softening yin practice.
I am incredibly passionate about yoga, in all its manifestations, on and off the mat, and excited for the opportunities this practice continues to deliver, for the deeper connection to the self and to others, for the never ending learning and developing.

Test Department - GCC Digital - In Conversation
Test Dept’s formation in 1981 in the decaying docklands of South London, was an urgent reaction to the materialistic drift and reactionary conservatism of the prevailing musical and political culture. TD rejected the conventional and developed a style that reflected the decay of their surroundings scavenging the unregenerated wastelands for raw materials, and transforming found industrial items into designed, sculptural instruments. Suitably armed they forged a hard rhythmic sonic battery, fusing found sound samples and cutting edge electronics in the construction of a dynamic physical totality. Their infamous sonic assaults were challenging and demanding for audience and performers alike, a test of physical endurance that journeyed through the sonic pain threshold and into a cathartic energy release. The ‘Stakhanovite Sound’ was a furnace that forged an attitude of total collective commitment, embracing the spirit of punk with an avant revolutionary sensibility that sought to challenge the status quo. It was the antithesis of commercial record industry values.
