Swara Yoga by Swami Muktibodhananda
Background
I have been a movement enthusiast my whole life. I did attend Yoga sessions as an infant but I was too young to appreciate it then. My own journey started with dance and gymnastics and then moved my attention to martial arts. At this point my practice became not purely physical but I understood better how the body is the vehicle to the spirit. After she experienced a motorbike accident and as a trained Personal Trainer, I embarked on the journey of rehabilitation and re-discovered Yoga. I travelled to India to study Yoga and met my husband there. We returned to the UK to teach Yoga together here.
