Now in my late 40's I enjoy all practices and I am willing to give all styles a go. It wasn't until I found my current teacher, Doris, who I have been with for 8 years now, that I really came to love yoga. Doris taught me so many things but the main take away are:
Its just you and your mat no matter how many people are in the class. Yoga is not about how bendy or stretchy you are, but how you feel in the pose. Always listen to your body and come out of or modify a pose when needed. Smile and enjoy yourself. She encouraged me to become a teacher and I am so glad I took her advice. I am an IYTA trained teacher with a Diploma in Yoga, having completed 460 hours of training. I am a Zama Institute certified Yin Yoga teacher. I am Pranayama and mediation teacher with my Certificate 1, Certificate 2 and Certificate 3, trained with the IYTA with David Burgess. I am a Reiki Master. I am certified in aroma touch massages. I am a certified sound healer. I have my First Aid and CPR certified.
