I started yoga in my early twenties when a work colleague encouraged me to go to a class. That first class marked a turning point because not only did I feel so much better physically, but I came away with a feeling of stillness I had never experienced before. Over the years since that very first class I have never found anything else in life that gives me the feeling of stillness and well being that yoga does. People come to yoga for many different reasons, often because of physical discomfort or stress in their lives, and it is through yoga postures and focusing our attention on the breath that we can start to release the body and free our minds. Yoga is a tremendous tool to help us manage physical and emotional challenges and maximise our enjoyment of life.
