Yoga is for everybody. This simple statement says more about the great practice of yoga than anything else. It’s a wonderfully inclusive practice – and that’s partly because there’s so much more to it than what has become known as the “face of yoga” – the asanas (yoga postures).

The fact that yoga has been practised for thousands of years offers some insight into why it’s risen in popularity exponentially over the past few years. Quite simply, it works. After years of practising and teaching, I’ve discovered for myself that yoga has so many transformational benefits, including healing, empowering, calming and strengthening. It offers something for everyone, and very often, you gain something that you weren’t even aware you were looking for. For me, it gave me the courage to be more authentic and pursue more of what I wanted from life – eventually allowing me to change careers.
