What made you take your first yoga class?
My first life-long passion from childhood was dance. So I was used to expressing myself through movement and dance (initially ballet and contemporary). I found my first yoga book in Brighton when I was 13 and felt that I resonated with the principles of breath and meditative movement. I knew I had practiced it in my own way through my young years so I was excited to teach myself some of the postures that I didn’t know. Then, when I was doing my Dance Theatre degree at The Laban Centre for movement and dance in London, I went to my first ‘proper’ yoga class – back in 1992. I loved it! It became my respite/ support whilst in professional dance training. It helped my hard-working body to relax, eased my mind and supported my emotions during those years. It then became a part of me and always has been. It is my work, my personal release, my life
