Yoga became a lifestyle for me ... when a well-known celebrity made a Yoga video in the 90's, it was a Christmas gift, and for the next year it became my regular practice.It wasn't long before I knew some of the names of the postures and sequences I started attending classes for.I'd meet some really interesting people, felt positively inspired by the teachers, and found myself prioritising my practice.It felt good, and soon my friends wanted a piece of the action and asked me to teach them.However, teaching others was something quite alien to me, so eventuallyI did a course to become a qualified yoga teacher, teaching Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, and Yoga Nidra.Yoga was a physical, emotional, and spiritual practice I gravitated to through disappointment and injury, resulting in a sense of calm and a temporary state of relief.The injury threw me off track, and Yoga saved me.From years of weight training in gyms and poor stretching, I'd lost my flexibility, and eventually my body called out for help, and this started my yoga journey over 20 years ago.I wanted it back.
