Yoga stories, where it all began, training the new generation - June Mitchell, 'The Chai Sessions'
In this session I'm chatting with June Mitchell. I know for sure that I wouldn't be where I am today without June. She's the owner and course director of the Classical Yoga School which encompasses three yoga teacher training programmes. One I lead here in Glasgow and the other two June leads in Perth and Surrey.
June has been practising and teaching yoga since the 1970s and has some amazing stories to share. We chat about what brought her to yoga in the beginning, how she became a teacher, some of the wonderful teachers she's practised with and how the world of yoga has changed over the years.

"Yoga is far too important and too valuable to us as individuals and our community and society. I think it's too valuable to be in the hands of people who are not doing it right. We try to do it right."
Pop the kettle on, get yourself comfy and come and join us.
I hope you enjoy our chat. If you’re interested in yoga teacher training and would like to learn more about the CYS programme please get in touch.

‘The Chai Sessions’
Anyone who has been to Merchant City Yoga on a Sunday knows how much I love catching up with everyone over a cup of my freshly brewed spiced chai. These Sunday chai sessions really bring everyone together, a true celebration of friendship, community and connection.
I want to try and capture some of that magic and share it with you at home. So I've invited some familiar faces from our MCY family to chat with me online over a cuppa. I'm affectionately calling them 'The Chai Sessions'.
