Yoga Teachers Talk with Alice Taylor

For this episode of Yoga Teachers Talk @pipyogamentor talks to Senior Yoga Teacher and Menopause Yoga expert Alice Taylor.

Alice through her many years spent practicing yoga in Mysore India, received the direct authorisation of the Ashtanga yoga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009) to pass on the Ashtanga yoga method. Fewer than 150 teachers worldwide received this authorisation within his lifetime.

Alice lives in London with her husband Charlie and started practicing yoga in the early 1990s, she has practiced with some of the worlds most respected and revered teachers and shares so many wonderful stories of her time with teachers such as Derek Ireland.

For this episode Alice shares honestly and openly about her journey into the menopause, the difficulty faced mentally and emotionally with navigating this phase, with no support from the health system and having to figure it all out alone. Her story is one we can relate to and learn from, as she is now passionate about sharing yoga and breath work to support all women through the menopause. She shares the joy of handstands and how they help during menopause and her struggles and passions as a yoga teacher.

This is one of my favourite episodes!
