“ What I love about the yogi path is that the seeds that are planted will always pull you back and keep you on your personal yoga journey.”
How did you first get interested in yoga and can you remember your first class?
I remember in the late 80s, my best friend Zoe and I going to a house in Notting Hill Gate where there was meditation, yoga and vegetarian food I think it may have been the Sivananda method; the whole place was lit by candles and had a dreamy, authentic feel. This planted the second seed in my heart on the path of yoga – I wish places like this still existed.
The first seed to be planted though was when I was quite young. A friend of my mother’s suggested I should start practicing yoga because I had a serious lung condition and the breathwork within yoga would give me a better quality of life and could even help prolong my life, which it has by all accounts!.
What I love about the yogi path though is that the seeds that are planted will always pull you back and keep you on your personal yoga journey. It’s a deep connection that can sometimes take you away from the crowd but in times where you might feel directionless, scared or lonely, yoga is aways there to assist you and hold your hand.
I especially find when that you’re travelling, and you feel these things, you can just look up a local class and you will immediately feel grounded again.
