MY YOGA STORY

I first became interested in health and well being in my early twenties following the early deaths of both my parents from chronic illness, and this lead me to yoga. At first my progress was slow and my resistance was high; but soon I began to feel real changes in my body and general state of being and I got curious....
So, in 1999 I went to India to study yoga at its origin and I didn't come back. I stayed in ashrams and studied under some great teachers and started teaching myself. I formalised this ad hoc yoga education in 2007 with a 300hr RYT training in Goa.
Along the way I had three kids and moved to an off grid eco farm in the mountains of South India where I ran the yoga centre.
Now the kids are teenagers and we are back in Bristol and I feel that I have some stuff to share.
