I have been practising yoga with teachers in the T Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar tradition since 1991. Since leaving the oil and gas industry, where I worked for 25 years, I have completed the Integration Yoga Therapy course with Andy Curtis-Payne and am starting to set up my business as a wellbeing coach specialising in habit-based intervention for weight management and as a yoga therapist. I am forever indebted to all my teachers over the years from this tradition, and my experience as Regional Treasurer for the BWY South-East region since 2003 stands me in good stead for my role as TSYP Treasurer. I hope to contribute by ensuring that TSYP is open and transparent in all financial matters to ensure it complies with yogic principles.
