“My yoga journey started like many others: my mum forcing me to go! I have suffered with mental health problems since aged 13, but last year I was diagnosed with anorexia, so my mum took me to the local yoga studio for their yoga classes for teenagers. Walking into the studio changed my life forever. Normally, I never like to admit when my mother is right, but after my first class I got into the car and just said: “I love it”. My mum felt triumphant to say the least.
I went to every teen class after that and even started going to the adult classes as my love for yoga progressed. However, when my health started deteriorating, my mum stopped me from going to yoga because I was too weak to do anything; that’s when I realised how much yoga meant to me.
