Viniyoga Britain Stage I (with Sarah Ryan): Oct'00-March'01- About me
I have been practising yoga since 1980 and over time have used my practices as a tool to very different ends. I have experienced a variety of approaches and feel I have benefited greatly every step of the way. In 1999 I first came across yoga taught in the tradition of Krishnamacharya and it was here that yoga opened out its full dimensions as a support for engaging in life and navigating calmly through its challenges on all levels, physical, mental and emotional. Learning to use yoga to support my body, my relationship to myself and others and to move through life changes with a sense of groundedness and humour is my ongoing project and if through teaching I manage to inspire a few people along the path, all the better!
