INTRODUCTION TO YOGA

I have been practicing yoga for 16 years. When I first started to attend yoga classes I was fascinated with how I felt after my yoga practice, and still am now. It wasn't just the difference in my body, feeling energised in a very calm way, but the clarity and focus of my mind, like a weight had been lifted after attending my yoga class. Yoga is not just a form of exercise for me but a way of regenerating the body and mind. Recently much has been written about the benefit on yoga, practiced regularly, for bad backs.

It has dramatically changed and improved my life over the years. With a regular yoga practice you will not only notice your physical body becoming stronger, your muscles toned, increased stamina, strength and flexibility, but also feel an increase in confidence, enjoyment and happiness in your life.

How yoga helped me

I experienced a number of challenges to my health over the last few years and had to stop my yoga practice after major surgery. I really noticed the difference in my body and mind. With help and guidance from my teacher I was able to re-establish my yoga practice. I became stronger and happier and still use my yoga practice to help keep well. I find yoga is a great way to keep strong and help manage stress - the two key components to maintaining good health.

Why yoga

Realising the power of yoga I wanted to develop a deeper understanding of yoga. My yoga teacher advised that the most comprehensive training in the UK was the British Wheel of Yoga teacher training. So I took the plunge. I learnt so much about all aspects of yoga over the 2 year course - learning to teach was a by-product!

I now really love teaching. I teach group classes, 1:1 tuition, workshops in Bristol, North Somerset, and the Mendip and Sedgemoor areas of Somerset. I also run yoga holidays and weekend breaks in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
