About Becky
I have been interested in yoga since my early twenties, but there weren't many places that held classes and the classes that were available were at times that didn't fit into my life at that time.
In 2006, I moved to Tokyo and while I was there, found a really small yoga studio that I started going to every week.
I left Tokyo in 2008 and moved to Phuket. Here, I was lucky enough to be working with a yoga teacher at a school and she kindly put on classes at her house for a few of us after work. I felt inspired by the classes and loved the way they made me feel. |
After a year, she sadly left Phuket and I started to look around for somewhere to go to class. Whilst looking for a villa to get married in, I saw a sign for a yoga shala. I immediately looked it up and decided to go to my first ever Ashtanga class. After attending classes regularly, I found myself becoming more and more interested in yoga and started to look at places to do teacher training. After speaking to my teacher, I started studying and practicing intensely for the next year. With guidance and support from my teacher and my husband, I went to Yoga Thailand, Koh Samui in June 2010 to do my Teacher Training +200 Hours Foundation Course. Here, I studied with Paul Dallaghan, Sonja Rzepski, Elonne Stockton and Cecilia Titta Kjolleberg. . The teacher training was one of the most intense and amazing experiences of my life. I learned so much from the teachers and my fellow students. It was a journey where I learned so much about myself and came to realise, more than anything that I was always going to be a student of the science of yoga. I would do it all over again in a heart beat!
To all teachers of the past, present and future, thank you for your inspiration and guidance, and for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me.
I would like to give a special thanks to my yoga teacher and mentor Julie at Ganesha Yoga Shala. Julie has been a great inspiration and friend to me. I practice with her as often as I can and she gives me encouragement and guidance with my own personal practice.
To my students now and in the future, thank you. I have learned and will learn so much from you all :-)
