I’m not sure which was the biggest thrill, being able to slide quite easily into Padmasana and lift myself into Tolasana for the first time or seeing my 13 year old son (left) having a go (also for the first time) and making it look so easy!
I’m certain that years of running have taken their toll on my flexibility ...

Are you looking for something to brighten up your yoga studio? Do you have trouble remembering the Primary Sequence? If so, here’s a handy wall chart featuring Matt Ryan of Yoga Manchester.
