History ofSolpower

I began my yoga during a difficult time of my life. I was going through a separation and found myself lost in it all. I felt very isolated at the time. I wanted to make a change.

Since I was young, my friends always suggested practising yoga as I was already very bendy. I heard a lot about yoga and meditation but never tried it.

I thought I'd give it a chance. I looked online and found a few videos, which I initially found quite boring. It was when I began practising with someone that it switched inside of me. I was feeling much more grounded and started to find myself again. I suppose the light started to shine through. I practised every day for three years.

I thought I'dgive it a chance

I discussed it with some close friends and family. They suggested I train as a teacher and leave my role in hospitality.

I took the chance and went to India.

I found that what we have on the yoga mat is just the tip of the iceberg. I loved the challenge I was experiencing every day; I was learning about my life, my relationships and myself.

I began teaching a few months after my return to the UK. My classes started small, but gradually built up and grew. Each time I teach, I learn more about the people I'm with.

My knowledge of the mind and body allows me to reach individuals with the words and positions that work best for them. I feel as though yoga is all around me and has contributed in many ways to the values of my life.

Today, I am fortunate enough to teach in and around Bath. I work with students of all abilities and ages; it is my way of giving back.

I think practising yoga has the ability to change your life.
