Siân

Siân began practicing Yoga in 2001 at Yoga Ways. Initially, she chose to practice Yoga to help overcome a back injury that she sustained a few years prior. During Siân’s first Yoga class she realised that she had a lot more to gain from practicing Yoga than just creating strength and flexibility in her back. Since her first class, Siân has integrated Yoga into her daily activities and is continually amazed by the personal growth and benefits that she has witnessed throughout her journey.  Sian began an apprenticeship at Yoga Ways and formal teacher training at the Mangrove Yoga Academy in 2003, and has now completed her  training and teachers both Hatha and Ashtanga classes.
