Once any programme scales beyond a certain level, it becomes a “yoga teacher factory”, and if you don’t fit the mould, […]
A long time ago, before I even stepped onto a yoga mat, I was full of emotional pain. I had little skill in feeling – let alone expressing – my emotions. I would have frequent mood swings, which destroyed my personal and professional relationships. I was often depressed, and also stressed and anxious, without any […]
