My Yoga journey began in 1999 in Brighton, England. I agreed to accompany a friend of mine with a bad back to a yoga class. I was young, fit and flexible and I believed I didn’t need yoga. I left my first class and knew that I would be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
My first teacher Thea was my greatest inspiration. An older lady she could do more things with her body than most teenagers. She seemed so happy and peaceful. She taught me to understand that the body, mind and soul are one and by doing a regular practise of yoga asanas and pranayama I could start to find some peace in my mind and my heart. The most important lesson I have learnt from practising yoga is to live in the moment and to enjoy my life now.
She would often talk about her yoga training at the Sivananda Ashram in the mountains of Kerela India. I found this exciting and dreamed of doing the same thing. Ten years later I visited the same Ashram where I qualified as a yoga teacher in December 2006.
As all yoga teachers do I started to try different styles of yoga all of which I love, but I really fell in love with Aerial yoga, a practise I started in 2016. I love how it makes me feel completely present and is so much fun. I decided to do my Aerial yoga teacher training in 2019 at Radiantly Alive studio in Ubud.
I am so lucky to be a co owner of Yoga Savitri Earth and Air.
