My Story

 

What drew me to Yoga over 20 years ago? I couldn’t tell you now. An image of grace, strength and flexibility, likely. I started with a Yoga video, learning the poses. Eventually, I started dropping in at various Yoga classes, trying my hand at Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Moksha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Hidden Language Yoga. And I loved it all. I loved the way my body felt as it stretched and moved. I loved linking my breath to my movements. But for the longest time it was a physical endeavour, solely Yoga asanas (poses).

 

While I was continuing with my physical Yoga practice I was also searching for something. I didn’t know what, but looking back I can say I was looking for my spirituality. I was looking for something that felt right. I always believed in an energy connecting everything. I started trying to meditate on my own, but wasn’t progressing very far.

 

I decided to do a Yoga and Meditation retreat at a Buddhist Retreat Centre in Scotland. That retreat opened up the world of meditation to me along with the concept of a spiritual community. 

 

I continue to study and practice Yoga. While Yoga asana drew me into the Yogic path, many other things have kept me here. I love meditation, breathing exercises, mantras and the Eightfold Path of Yoga.

 

I love Yoga and I feel that it has opened me up to so much happiness in my life. I enjoy practicing and teaching both physical Yoga (asanas), meditation and the other more spiritual aspects of Yoga. I am excited to continue exploring this path.

 

I am so grateful for the opportunity to share Yoga with others. My Yoga practice has become the basis of my strength, confidence and joy in life!

 

Peace, Love and Light
