During a trip to Goa I came across Indian head massage and felt inspired to add this to my repertoire.

Krishnamacharya spent the first part of his life studying Indian philosophy, Ayurveda and Yoga. His thirst for knowledge led him to study at the great centres of learning and to seek out teachers who could transmit the vast wisdom of the ancient sages.

I am a regular contributor to the BBC, Elephant Journal, Huffington Post and Om Magazine on this topic and am writing a book about teens and yoga. I love to present and contribute to radio shows too. My main interest at the moment is how we avoid and deconstruct the brutalisation of boys through empowering girls and women. I see yoga as so much more than postures. I see mindful yoga as a lifestyle, a way of empowering and enriching our lives on every level.
