My first yoga class was in September 2002 after I had completed 6 months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for breast cancer.Thanks to Julie Hanson and her team of teachers I have been practising yoga for over 10 years. I am a cancer survivor! For me going to the Seasonal Yoga Academy for seasonal flow yoga is 60 minutes of practice, then moving on to Moira Jane’s for ‘after class socializing’ – coffee/tea/soya hot chocolate/orange juice/cold water etc. etc. and catching up with news of fellow yogis. This gives me the ‘feel good’ factor. Then about 45 minutes later, we all go to do our own daily chores – filled with ‘good energies’, till we meet each other again for the next yoga class! If I can score practising yoga for my well-being I’m definitely giving it a BIG 10!

I first came to Julie and Chi Yoga (now Seasonal Academy ) after a serious car accident. After surgery and physical therapy, I still had several mobility issues and just climbing stairs was an arduous challenge. Julie patiently worked with my body over a long period of time, helping it to strengthen and gently encouraging it to open. That was well over a decade ago. These days, nobody would ever guess that I had been in an accident. With Julie’s support and encouragement, I’ve even become a yoga teacher myself. Although I now live in another city, I still visit Glasgow regularly and come to Julie’s classes. I’ve never stopped learning from Julie and would readily recommend both her and Chi Yoga Glasgow to anyone thinking of taking up yoga. Anyone can benefit tremendously from yoga and, thanks to Julie and Chi Yoga, I’m proof of that!
