As we all have, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in life.  Including, in 2005 I had a serious accident that resulted in facial reconstructive surgery, the loss of sight in my right eye and some peripheral vision in my left eye. This accident completely changed my life. I could no longer drive as a result of my sight loss, and because of that, I lost my job too.

This, and other happenings I have chosen to spare you, leave their mark on us. The body collects debts and those debts need to be paid.  So, let’s just say, my 'balance ' of life was somewhat in the red! 

Physical fitness has always been a big part of my life. In the past, I believed that if there was no blood, sweat and tears then it wasn’t worthwhile. Gradually though, I began to recognise the benefit (both in mind and body) of complementing my fitness routine with 'yoga'.

I could see that my balance was beginning to settle. The riot that was in my mind has become more of a peaceful protest and those things that overwhelmed became easier to see, accept and manage. Now, you are you, with your own body, mind and experiences. However, in my experience, the choice of ‘health’ versus self-sabotage has a universal success rate.

I cannot put into words the difference it has made to mine and the life of so many I have worked with.
