“ I have done yoga on and off for the past 18 years and tried many different forms of it. In my twenties I would binge on it, doing it every day. But now I am just not interested in those faddish types such as power yoga. I am interested in something that is much more manageable and has longevity. Iyengar is a back-to-basics type of yoga that is a form of hatha.
It’s about being really kind to your body. It’s not about being a perfect skinny-minnie — as my teacher always says. I only do it for an hour a couple of times a week but my body loves it. Iyengar is all about restoration rather than going for that superficial quick-fit burn. You don’t feel as if you are breaking into a sweat or straining but afterwards I feel very uplifted and strengthened by it. It’s not draining.”
