When the word Yoga is mentioned, most people immediately think of physical postures for relaxing and limbering up the body, this is only one small aspect of it. Physical Yoga or Hatha Yoga was primarily designed to facilitate the real practice of Yoga - namely, the understanding and complete mastery over the mind. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali quotes it very clearly: "Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodhah" - The restraint of the modification of the mind-stuff is yoga.
I have practised yoga for over 20 years, and trained as a Sivananda Yoga teacher in 2002. After teaching general classes for some time, I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. My interest then grew in practising and teaching yoga more gently. I trained to teach yoga to people with MS in 2010, and taught at the MS Therapy Centre in Warminster. I am also a qualified Yoga Therapist, having done my training with the Devon School of Yoga.
