What inspired you to be a yoga teacher?
Sheena Shah.
After experiencing the impact yoga has on my life, not only on my physical health but mental and emotional levels too. As a teenager, I struggled with anxiety and depression – and yoga helped me to build my self-esteem and confidence. It also completely changed my perspective on things and gave me the strength to overcome many challenges with a positive mindset.
I knew that yoga could make such a profound difference in people’s lives no matter how old they were, what they did for a living, or what their religious beliefs were! True yoga is so much more than just being flexible or touching your toes – it’s a way of life – and I wanted to share that with as many people as I could.
