I soon discovered the benefits of a regular yoga practice; The changes to my state of mind and wellbeing were immense but also my posture, physical strength, stamina and mobility all improved.

I'm Olena Sawal, a Canadian and long-term UK resident. My interest in wellbeing and spirituality stretches back to childhood and it was in nature that I felt most at home. I began to experiment with meditation in my late teens and went to my first yoga class at an Iyengar studio in Canada in 1993. It was a new experience and one that I hold in my memory to help me empathise with new students joining my classes.
