| Introduction | I started practicing yoga between 2004-2005. I was introduced to it by a friend who tried to change my view that it 'would not be for me'.... I initially got interested in Ashtanga Vinyasa which I practiced mostly on my own using DVDs and attending workshops. I started to make yoga a more and more important part of my life, recognising the beneficial effects it had on my general behaviour and mood. I completed a 200h teacher training in 2010 and gradually made up my mind about leaving my career in the pharma research industry (I worked in this field for 20 years) and dedicate myself more fully to yoga. I have not looked back since although I continue to be extremely interested in the physiological basis for the benefits of the various yoga practices. I am continuing my education through a longer teacher training in the Sri T Krishnamacharya/TKV Desikachar tradition. |
