I began practicing yoga in my teens, teaching classes in the 1970-80s with my first diploma from the All India Board of Yoga before starting a career as an NHS Doctor. I have now retired from my medical career and in recent years yoga has returned to the forefront of my life.
My recent yoga training has included:
- The British Wheel of Yoga Teacher Training Diploma and;
- Advanced Teacher Training Certificate from Triyoga (London);
- Yoga for Back Care with Anji Gopal of the Back Care Foundation;
- Training in Restorative yoga with Anna Ashby and separately Judith and Lizzie Lasater;
- Aspects of Ayurveda relevant to yoga practice with Tarek Dervish;
Yoga practice is now recognised to have therapeutic benefit and research of good quality is emerging and I am pleased to be a
volunteer yoga teacher in the self-care space at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine.
Ancient yoga texts say that regular practice brings benefit - without it things stay the same. Accepting what I can do, balancing
effort and ease, allows me to find a peaceful stillness which is rejuvenating. I would like to share that with you.
