yoga with lis
I began my own Yoga journey in 2002, having suffered from excruciating cluster
headaches for some months I decided to see if Yoga could help. Not only did it
cure my headaches it also began to take away the aches and pains I had for years
in my knees. Although I “found” yoga looking for help for physical ailments, I
quickly came to realise the huge benefits to my emotional and mental well being
too. Having attended classes with Sam Rao for 16 years, through 2 pregnancies,
work challenges, losing family and a close friend I found that Yoga really was
the one thing I could turn to for help physically and mentally. In 2018 I took
the leap to begin the next part of my Yoga journey and began my training with
Sam Rao Yoga School. I began teaching in January 2019. Since graduating I have
attended numerous courses and workshops including Teen Yoga, "The Alchemy of
Touch", Introduction to teaching pregnancy Yoga, principles of Yin and
Restorative Yoga and Thai Massage, and Philosophy in Movement to extend my
learning and be able to offer more classes to my yogis. My personal practice
remains incredibly important to me. As well as practice at home I attend a
regular weekly class, as well as visiting other teachers and attending day and
weekend retreats. These are amazing opportunities to self nurture and also
improve my own teaching. My wish is to share Yoga with my local community and
encourage you to attend a class where you listen to your body, not just my
guidance, finding a Yoga practice you can share in class and also take away into
your every day life. Recognising that Yoga isn't just about moving but about
breath, stillness, connection, how we live our lives, kindness, compassion and
nurturing. Join me to discover what a Yoga practice can do for you.
