Yoga helped me to heal many injuries giving me insight and tools to help others through my teaching. It has helped me manage stress while I was working as a journalist. It is still helping me to deal with quirks of motherhood. I have finished Yoga Alliance approved RYT 200 Teacher Training and started my Yoga teaching path nine years ago. In that time I have been teaching different styles such as Vinyasa, Power, Ashtanga, Restorative and Yoga Nidra. What I find fascinating still is that each and every time I step on the mat or enter a class I know I will learn something new. In Yoga there is always somewhere to go with your practice even on a bad day. There is always a way to evolve.
My quantum leap in Yoga was returning to the practice after I suffered from low back and pelvic injury. From hypermobile Yogini who can do any pose from Yogic books, I was `down-leveled’ to three poses I could do without pain. Yoga practice as I once knew it didn’t exist any more. My flexible body was over flexible causing me constant pain. There was a short period of time when all the therapists were telling me Yoga is not good for my condition. Why I didn’t give up? The practice, even when `down-leveled’ as it was in that time was bringing me so much benefits mentally that my heart was telling me I must not ignore that. It was a long journey but it formed a safe strengthening practice that is evolving in every class I do.
My yoga practice is Forrest and Yin Yoga inspired. These are both therapeutic styles and as such can be tailored for every practitioner, beginner or advanced
