Why did you start yoga
I came across yoga while backpacking around the world after
university. At first, my approach to yoga was simply to treat it as
another form of exercise, and I loved it because it was completely
different to any type of workout I’d done before. However, I quickly
discovered that yoga was much more than exercise. I was intrigued
by the idea of syncing my mind, body and breath, allowing my breath
to guide me through the asanas and bringing my awareness into
the present. I quickly learnt how incredible yoga made me feel and I
made a routine out of it.
How has yoga changed your life
Yoga helps to bring a lot of balance into my life, it’s the Yin to the
Yang of everyday life. Whenever I feel stressed out, yoga is the perfect
antidote, and I love coming home at the end of the day to my yoga
mat. At home, I often end up doing a lot of Yin and Restorative Yoga, I
really enjoy extended stretches and find them very soothing.Favourite yoga haunts
My favourite place in the world to do yoga is in the Alpujarra
mountains in Andalucia, Spain. I love looking across the mountains,
breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the silence. It’s where I did my
yoga teacher training in 2015, so it holds a really special place in my
heart with so many memories. Every year, I travel back to the same
mountains because I now teach with Inspira Yoga Teacher Training
school, which runs part of its trainings in Spain.Best yoga moment
One of my best moments was definitely when I qualified as a
yoga teacher in 2015. It was such a big turning point in my life and
one which, even a year beforehand, I could never have imagined
happening. Since then, I’ve had many more exciting yoga moments
including teaching on stage at the OM Yoga Show in 2018, organising
my own Yogagise Yoga events in the UK and in Antigua, teaching
in my hometown of Hong Kong and teaching on yoga retreats in
beautiful places around the world.What else
My advice to new yoga teachers who are trying to get their foot in the
door is to be proactive and network as much as possible; you never
know who you’re going to meet and what opportunities you may
come across.Find out more about Sarah Highfield at: yogagise.comTraining Successful Health Coaches
