Meet Nick who has been a Church of England priest for 25 years, sharing his yoga story with us courtesy of our friends at @triyogauk
.
"On a friend's recommendation, I decided to give yoga a go as I was finding it difficult to have space for myself
.
I wasn't sure what to expect, having never imagined myself as a ‘yogi’, but it's been quite simply superb. It's many things all at once – exercise, meditation and reflection
.
It's calming and it's community
.
It's OK not to attempt too much and for a change, it's not all eyes on me. I simply find a corner of the class and enjoy what works for me in that moment
.
Yoga is a spiritual practice that works well for me as a person of faith. A number of other students in my yoga class are churchgoers
.
It's definitely working – why else would I get out of bed for a 9am start on my one day off a week?! Maybe not with the clerical collar, though – that stays behind with all other thoughts of work."

Merry Christmas 🎄
