When I first came to yoga it was purely on physical level, I wanted my body to feel better and move better. I didn’t want to have to live and be defined by my back pain.

But along the way I became interested in the whole of yoga, physical, spiritual, mental and the ethical. Some of this made me feel like I was failing as yoga practitioner and at times I felt like I was compromising either myself or yoga as I thought it should be.

Through my journey as a human being I have had several teachers, influencers, guides, guru (whatever word you choose to use here) some well know some just everyday people who have no idea the impact that they have had on me. We are all teachers, influencers, guides, gurus in our own way.

I am learning to be authentically me, I evolve and grow constantly. Through all of this I now believe that yoga is whatever you wish to get out of it. It can be just physical, it can be more spiritual, it can be mental clarity, it can lead you to a more ethical life. It can be all of these things or a combination of a few, ultimately the choice is yours.

Namaste
