A bit more of the story...

(This is the blurb I send out for publicity, so I thought I would share it with you here!)

Lisa is an enthusiastic, energetic & careful teacher who genuinely seeks to help others through yoga learning. She feels it a great privilege to be able to help others through the system of Iyengar yoga, and is proud to be able to be an active member of the Iyengar yoga community and IY (UK).

She devotes her life to yoga and also to her family and 2 children. She places great emphasis on getting the balance right, between home and health, personal development and the ability to help and nurture others.

Lisa is delighted that she passed several exams leading to Level 3 in 2015.

She enjoys regularly working on postures and the personal challenges yoga and life bring. Lisa trains weekly through personal practise, regular class attendance with senior teachers, training, workshops, Pranayama classes and philosophy discussion. Lisa attends Iyengar yoga conventions, where wonderful Senior Iyengar teachers also share their knowledge.

Through yoga, Lisa has found that the stresses of everyday life can be managed and viewed with renewed perspective. Yoga helped her with injuries & has seen her through illness and personal challenges. Lisa also valued her practise during pregnancy and continuing through motherhood.

Lisa believes that 'the yoga journey to wholeness, inner peace and ultimate freedom', (BKS Iyengar) is an exciting one and is passionate in sharing the benefits of the postures and philosophy, as she herself has learned from others.
