It was an Ashtanga class. My mum had recommended I try yoga and that class was the most suitable time and location for me. I remember thinking it was really really hard. I was in my mid twenties, active, young and fit, but my knees hurt and my hips hurt. I stuck with it for […]
A few years ago we started to do Beach Yoga pop up sessions. We thought it would just be a bit of a novelty, but were bowled over by how amazing it felt to do yoga surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. One yoga class participant told us that doing yoga by the […]

I don’t actually remember my first yoga lesson. I think I hated it so much I blotted it out… I’m not the world’s stretchiest person. Quite the opposite! I wondered “Why do people keep saying this is supposed to be nice? This is terrible and everything hurts!” So it’s funny that I teach it now. […]
I first went to a yoga class in 1999. It had been organised thorough work and took place in a carpeted room with a pool table in it.
