I remember my first teacher said to me in my second ever yoga class – ‘Yoga is a way of life.’ I remember staring at her blankly not knowing what she meant. However, I kept on with yoga because I wanted to increase my flexibility and balance. That was my only agenda.

 

Within two years of practicing, I noticed a positive improvement to my mental health and my body and I started to slowly understand what my teacher was trying to say to me. I then attended a workshop led by Mercedes Sieff, at London’s Om Yoga Show where I was inspired and addicted with her creative flow and whacky balance inversions during her yoga practise. It was with Mercedes, I decided to do my teacher training with her 6 years later.

Naturally, I am a person who gets bored of routine, so learning the art of creative sequencing in Vinyasa was an easy choice for me. It wasn’t just about the poses and creative sequencing; it was also about what you learn along the way. Learning to breathe in difficult positions, lowering the ego, the body – this is what I’ve learnt and will strive to always keep learning new exciting ventures through my own personal yoga practice so I continue to pass this onto my yogalee students and inspire self-growth.
