“Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall,” says yoga teacher Ray Bradbury.

In yoga, as in life, sometimes you will fall. By observing your natural reactions in these unstable moments, when the floor beneath you seems shaky and when you feel confronted by something new and unfamiliar you can learn a lot about yourself.

“Right now the biggest thing I’m aware of is how it’s made me braver and less afraid to take risks,” says trainee yoga teacher Jessie.

“I took a big jump leaving a long-term stable job to do something new and yoga has definitely helped me to do that, both in making the initial change and overcoming that fear, but also now in seeking something new and continuing to be brave in applications.”
