I first stepped onto a yoga mat about 10 years ago, and a lot has changed since. Both physically and mentally. I’d just bought myself a cheap adidas mat while I was studying abroad in France, while simultaneously suffering from a prolonged bout of food poisoning I’d caught in Thailand. I was in such a mess physically that I couldn’t face any sort of exercise for months, so my little yoga mat in my teeny tiny room was my saviour at that time. I found Yogaglo and would practice online with different teachers, trying different styles and finding out what I loved the most. I wasn’t really inflexible, I could almost touch my toes, but I definitely wasn’t as flexible as I am now. Or strong. I remember the first time I tried chatur anga and my arms felt like they were going to drop off after one rep.
