When I was 16 my parents gave me a book called “Yoga The Iyengar Way” and I still remember the excitement I felt when I first flicked through its pages. I stayed up all night to read as much as I could and I woke up early the next morning to start my practice. I had no idea what I was doing but I was interested in the philosophy behind it and I felt drawn to it somehow. These early morning yoga sessions soon became a daily habit. I found myself consistently showing up on the mat because I loved the way it made me feel. Yoga gave me discipline, focus and purpose and I believed I could achieve anything I wanted if I just put my mind to it.
