Some yoga journeys are about so much more than yoga.
When Fiona first came to Byron Yoga Centre in 2022, simply being here was a huge step.
Almost two years after a breakdown and PTSD diagnosis, Fiona had barely left her four walls and the outside world felt frightening. It was her friend Sandy who encouraged her to come to BYC and, in Fiona’s words, “literally held my hand” through that first experience.
What followed has become a beautiful journey with BYC — through retreats, teacher trainings, an unforgettable journey to India, friendships and, most importantly, a growing belief in herself.
Fiona says that BYC and yoga “helped shape my practice, my belief in myself and truly gave me hope for me and my future.”
Today, Fiona has her own little yoga studio in her converted garage in Drouin, where she teaches Purna, Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra, as well as Chair Yoga in her local lifestyle village.
And she’s still learning, still practicing and still exploring what yoga can offer.
For Fiona, yoga has become something that is “equally good for me as it is for the people I serve”.
We feel incredibly lucky to have walked alongside Fiona through so many chapters of her journey — and to now see her sharing the practice with others.
When we asked what keeps bringing her back to BYC, her answer was simple:
“BYC is my safe place. I love the fact that it is a truly lived experience of the essence of yoga and community.”
Fiona’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes one small step can lead somewhere you never imagined.
Read the full story on our blog to hear more about Fiona’s journey, from that first yoga DVD to becoming a teacher, travelling to India and finding a place where she feels she belongs.
And for anyone wondering whether yoga is for them, Fiona has some simple advice:
“Do it for you. Listen to your heart and do it for you. The rest will follow.”
