​I started doing yoga initially because it was on in the gym and looked a bit like my first love, dance.  I wanted to get fitter, and getting crotch punched to techno in Spin class was not working for me.  Honestly, when I started I did not like it, but there was something that kept me coming back.  Only when I took practice with Laura McCrimmon in Glasgow that it clicked.  There was BIG movement and BIG tunes to bring me in to the present, paired with some beautiful moments of meditative stillness and balance.  This was what I needed from a practice. Since then, Yoga has been the solid line of stability running through a tumultuously familiar life.  I have found myself coming back to my mat to revive after break-ups, deaths and disappointments.  Not only that, it keeps me grounded in times of elation.  My practice encourages me to really get to know myself, and keeps me driven to live the fullest life I can.
