Yoga Stories: Tessa

Tessa is half-Belgian, half-American and is a teacher at Yyoga in
Brussels. Monica and Matt chat to Tessa about when and how she
discovered yoga - as a student in Florida. Tessa seems to have
taken a very different course through life after her introduction
to yoga than the one she had envisaged when she went to the USA
to complete post-graduate studies.

Tessa found yoga (or yoga found Tessa) after she had already
instigated a spiritual practice. Her yoga practice helps to put
her in a place that allows her to continue this practice.
Although she very much enjoys the physicality of yoga, one of the
greatest values it has for her is enabling a "moving
meditation".

Tessa talks about her family's love of nature and animals,
especially her father's fondness for taking random animals into
the home. Listen out for tales of Mr Wiggles! There's also some
discussion about mindful eating and vegetarianism. 

Where is Tessa now in her yoga practice and her spirituality?
