Commonly today, the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions yoga is the postures or exercises. However, yoga is more than this.

It has been five years since I underwent treatment for breast cancer. At the age of 33 I was diagnosed with a grade three tumour that had spread to my lymph nodes. At the time I was teaching yoga, meditating and eating what I thought was an all round healthy diet. I also thought I had a full and happy life. I now have five years perspective.
Many who have been through a serious illness or life event, will often say that it is life changing.
