It's not easy to put into words the effect yoga has had on my life. It went from an interest to a passion, to a way of life, in what felt like the blink of an eye. Really, it was years of classes, studying, practicing and travelling. It's just been so full of wonder and amazing experiences that it doesn't seem long at all since I nervously walked into my first class. |

There are not many yoga styles I haven't tried. After years of punishing my body with the dual perils of contact sports and a desk based livelihood I had a lot of ongoing injuries and very little flexibility. Yet today I am without doubt stronger and fitter than I have ever been and its all because of yoga. I got into yoga for physical benefits. Coming to it later in life than many other teachers has given me a really good appreciation for what it's like to be a beginner, this is really useful when teaching as I know exactly what people are experiencing and how to adapt things. I went to various classes for many years before a desire to find out more about yoga became all consuming. Eventually I took a sabbatical from my job and booked a one way ticket to India to learn yoga in it's spiritual home. 6 weeks later I qualified as a Hatha yoga teacher at the world renowned Sivananda Yoga Ashram in Kerela in Southern India. I then travelled to the snow capped mountains of the Himalayas and beyond to spend time with great yoga masters who taught me things you wont find in typical teaching courses, text books or yoga classes. I was especially fascinated by what I had experienced in the two months I lived at a Kundalini Tantra Ashram in Bali and equally stunned and thankful when I realised there was Kundalini Tantra Teacher Training course starting in my home town just after my sabbatical ended. It's like it was meant to be. I completed my 2nd teaching qualification while establishing my classes and setting up yoga and wellness events with Cotswold Yoga. I've had many mind blowing experiences on my travels, it was an incredible experience. However, without doubt the best and most in-depth and practically useful formal training I've received was from the Kundalini Tantra course I did in the UK. I was honoured when Ildy and Anand invited me to work alongside them to train other teachers. Yoga is well and truly a life style for me now and Anand still guides my development. I love passing this knowledge on and helping others receive the same benefits I have. |
