I took up yoga originally, because I had a lot of stiffness and a tendency to arthritis. I had many different teachers. Then, finding Iyengar yoga in 1996, was a revelation. I found it very demanding – and I suppose I realised immediately that, if I could rise to that challenge, yoga would make a positive difference to my life.
I was glad to find a system of yoga which acknowledges the many different over-flexibilities and stiffnesses people have, and shows them how to practice to improve.
For me yoga has brought many benefits– physically, mentally, emotionally - and I love to teach so that I can help others benefit too.
Gradually I saw the way yoga worked positively on the mind and emotions, through the practical tool of the poses. I became fascinated also, by the endless amount there is to learn - the learning never ends in yoga. The more I study, the more it all makes sense.
