Yoga is for everyone!

As some of you know I just completed my 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training in India. It was an amazing experience, one I am still struggling to articulate, and you will hear more from me on this soon.

But I just wanted to highlight to people that yoga really is for everyone. On the course we had 33 students from 21 countries around the world. People were aged from 21 to 60+ and a mix of both male and female. People left their day jobs, successful careers, children, grandchildren, spouses and family behind to dedicate the time to train to be a yoga teachers. Some truly remarkable sarcrafices were made and I think everyone agreed it was worth it.

There were students who had practised yoga for 25+ years and also people who had only ever taken 4 classes in their life. 

People came from:

America

England

Scotland

Ireland

Norway

Sweden

Faroe Islands

Denmark

Germany

Austria

Spain

Czech Republic

Lithuania

Australia

Argentina

Canada

Poland

Palestine

Italy

China

Dubai

France

So for people who think yoga is only for slim, flexible, strong and young people...think again. Anyone can do it, There is a posture and variation for everyone. And also, have a think to yourself, if all the typical yogi pictures you see are these lean, strong, flexible people who seem to defy their age...how do you think they got like that? Through Yoga of course!

 If you have always been interested in trying it out now is your chance. Check out you local school and try an introductory class, Do some research and see what style suits you. Do you want relaxation, slow and gently movements or fast and dynamic with some restorative aspects included? Speak to the teachers, explain what your needs are and they would be sure to recommend the right class for you.
