The Birth Of Breathe Yoga
Hello and welcome to Breathe Yoga, I wanted to start my blog with a little introduction to who I am and what brought me to this present moment. Up until September 2014 I had been working as a veterinary nurse in the UK, where I was born and bred. My career had always been the most important thing to me, I had vowed to become a veterinary nurse (to save the planets animals, one furry little being at a time) since a very young age. I love all furries and thoroughly enjoyed my job, however the usual routine of life set in and after 13 long years, alot of stress and numerous sleepless nights on-call... I decided enough was enough and I quit my job.I decided to do my last duty and good will to the animal kind by flying out to Thailand for three months to volunteer for a charity, set up to treat and neuter stray cats and dogs. It was whilst volunteering on the island of Koh Phangan, that I renewed my passion for yoga. In the past I had dabbled with various yoga classes, mostly to help unwind and relieve stress. However this time, something within me just clicked....yoga was more than just an exercise class or another form of stress relief. I was brought back to the mat by the introduction of Ashtanga Yoga, it was during this time that I was introduced to Patanjalis Eight-fold Path of yoga. The philosophy grabbed my attention and the way of life just felt right... since then I have also practiced Vinyasa and finally took my 200hr Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher Certificate in Traditional Hatha with Akasha Yoga Academy. This is where "Breathe Yoga" was born. After recently moving to Switzerland to be with my Swiss native partner, I decided to make yoga more accessible to English speaking ex-pats like myself. On arriving in Switzerland, I struggled to find a yoga studio outside of Zurich which held English led classes at a reasonable price.Thankfully a friend put me on the right path to finding a lovely little studio in Horgan, where I will be holding "Breathe Yoga" first English Led classes, every wednesday evening 7pm - 8pm.So here I am... happy and feeling blessed to have the chance to share Yoga with you. I hope you enjoy the blog and please feel free to join me at any of the locations listed on this site :-) Namaste xxx
