I teach yoga because of what it has brought me and the positive changes it has helped me make to my life. My training, in the tradition of T Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar, leads me to remain focused on the individual, recognising that each and every person is wonderful and unique. As Chair, my role is to have oversight of the whole organisation and ensure that we deliver our vision both to members and the wider community. My background in law and regulation provides practical experience for the role but it is above all my practice of yoga, and the yama-s and niyama-s, that underpins my work.
