Rudimental member Amir Amor has convinced his bandmates to swap the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle for yoga and veganism to cope with their hectic tour schedule.

The producer and singer-songwriter told the Standard how his fellow musicians — Piers Agget, Will Heard and Bridgette Amofah — have adopted the routine.

Amor said: “We tour a hell of a lot. Yoga helps when we’re on the road. I need personal space and something to release the tension.

“I was doing it twice a day. Getting up at 5:15am and again at night before bed. I’m not as hardcore now. The whole point of yoga is that it fits around your lifestyle.

“Since I started doing yoga and went vegan the others have got into it. It doesn’t mean we don’t have any fun. But you need some balance.”

Amor, who is working on the band’s new album, recently recorded an hour-long piece of music specifically for yoga. It debuted at a fundraising event for Ourmala, a charity that helps refugees, at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Victoria last night.

The musician, whose family settled in London after fleeing Iran, said he was moved to help after being affected by the stories of refugee women.

“I’ve met some of the women and heard what they’ve been through. You would have to have the coldest heart not to be moved by them.”
