I'm going to tell you a story - About 8 years ago I trained as a yoga teacher. It felt like a natural progression having previously trained as a professional contemporary dancer. I always knew that contemporary dance was a risky career choice. I had a nervous breakdown whilst I was at dance school, basically prohibiting me from attending alot of classes in my last year, and yet I graduated with a 2.1 with honours from my Bachelor's degree. Still, I lacked the confidence to audition for companies. My confidence had broken. But, I still needed a creative outlet, so I made choreographic work with @inside.eye for @duckievauxhall I became involved with @simon_costin and his @museum_of_british_folklore and making set pieces for his glorious set designs. I worked retail @libertylondon But something wasn't right. I needed movement, I needed calm and so i started yoga classes. I fell in love. And quite quickly i realised this could be an area I could work in. So I researched and found a training course I felt would work for me, I trained as a yoga teacher. But when my mother became sick, grief put a knot in my ability to focus. I found yoga difficult. I couldn't bring myself to teach, when I couldn't find positivity inside me. When she died, I gradually stopped attending classes. Couldn't find something that felt authentic for me. It's been five years this year since she died. And only now am I able to start back with classes. This weekend I get back on the mat. It feels like a big step, I am nervous, I am excited. But the timing feels right. Now is time to start putting the work back into living. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7IcsJhISyB/?igshid=hrpciqm9tcko
