Ann has never rested on her laurels and has always kept moving to see what's possible in her life. She has navigated all the major explosions in yoga from the 1960s onwards.

Ann talks about:  how she first met Scott. how yoga first landed for her when she was a mother. what she was like as a young girl before yoga. how she started her first yoga class in 1957 and really loved it. how she had a family in 1963 and her life changed. how she learnt from Richard Hittleman on the television in the early 1960s. how these were the first yoga classes on a screen. how she began moving into teaching with Diana Lang in Sunita PranaYama Yoga method. how her training in yoga was strict. how she then had to learn to teach in adult education. how she was able to balance her teaching and family life. how she moved into teaching in the British Wheel Of Yoga. how this way of teaching broadened her knowledge. how her life is broken down into a wider context. how in 1973/74 she elevated her teaching. how there was an explosion of yoga in the early 1970s. how her teaching was effected by this explosion. how she moved into a sense of responsibility for her students. how she moved into residentials in the late 1970s. how she met her first philosophy teacher. from the millennium she feels she has evolved again. how now she has found real peace with her yoga how teaching relaxation to cancer patients in the NHS has really grounded her. how she feels fulfilled from all her practice over the years.    Show Notes Link to Instagram picture with Scott and Ann.
