I walked into a yoga class for the first time over ten years ago. What was I hoping to achieve? Fitness? Relaxation? A solution to all my problems? I was in my mid thirties, two children, a fulltime job, part time student and in much need of some “me time”.
On that day, my life changed forever. I experienced what I can only describe as a profound awakening, a feeling of being truly alive, connected to my body and mind for the first time. I felt I had come home. I experienced a sensation of overwhelming calm, I felt strong and I felt present.
From that moment yoga has continued to be a source of great strength and inspiration to me, teaching and guiding me through life’s challenges large and small. It has been the friend that is not afraid to tell me the truth. It has opened my eyes and opened my heart and continues to challenge me while remaining the most precious gift in my life.
Whether you are searching for physical , emotional or spiritual wellbeing, yoga can help you on your journey. It is a gateway, a key, a path to a richer way of being. Opening the door to seeing yourself and the world around you in a new light.
You don’t have to be super fit or flexible to enjoy yoga, and you can practice at any age. Yoga, which means “union” can be adapted to benefit everyone and I have taught students with a range of conditions from ME, MS, in recovery from breast cancer, and with back and joint problems; from students to a lady in her eighties.
Thank you for taking the time to visit this site, I wish you great joy on your journey in yoga, may it illuminate your path , may it nurture your spirit and may it bring you strength and healing in abundance,
