Jess remembers looking at photographs of BKS Iyengar in his book Light on Yoga as a young child. Then at age 7, after falling from a tree and hurting her back, it was her unexpected good fortune to be given a series of yoga poses, hand drawn, by her doctor. The poses helped to relieve pain, correct the spine and taught her to focus inward. Jess began regular classes with the Iyengar Yoga Society at Edinburgh University. Liking the focus on precision and alignment in the asana and the feeling of well-being after class, yoga became part of her life. Jess has studied with BKS Iyengar at RIMYI in Pune, India and hopes to pass the understanding and benefit of yoga to her students.
