This is what many people think, myself included, before I tried it. Then I understood. Not only do you have complete control over what your body does, but it also helps to calm the mind in a constantly changing busy society. Yoga helps us to reconnect with ourselves.
After spending several years as a primary school teacher, I decided I needed to address the issue of my work-life balance, or rather, the lack of it. Learning and gaining knowledge about various subjects is one of my passions and I decided to put this to good use by training to be a yoga instructor. Helping people to get the best out of themselves is extremely rewarding and the ethos behind yoga being non-competitive suits me completely! Anyone can do yoga, as long as they are willing.
Say Yes to Yoga was created out of a desire to help people feel good about themselves, pay attention to their bodies and accept who they are. You do not have to be the strongest, fittest or most flexible person to take part - I'm certainly not! And this is what I want to share with others.
