peaceful of pudsey
My name is Elly, a meditation teacher and yoga teacher, based in Pudsey in the
UK. I’ve been interested in yoga since I was 7, but my mum said I’d turn out
weird if I went to yoga classes. So I didn’t attend my first regular yoga class
for another 30 years! I was bowled over by the calm that I felt after the
breathing exercises and guided meditations that the wonderful Josh Whaley led in
class. As someone who has suffered from depression for over 30 years, and still
takes medication daily to keep the symptoms under control, I found it a
game-changer. I also work in the NHS as a registered Pharmacist, and at the
start of the COVID-19 pandemic I felt the time was right to train as a
meditation teacher, so that I could share the skills I have learnt with my
patients, colleagues, and anyone who feels they are missing some peace in their
lives.
