Pure Asana

THE EVOLUTION OF PURE ASANA Hello I'm Talia Drew and this is my story behind PURE asana. I began practicing yoga when I was just 14 as part of many additional training's I did when I was a competitive swimmer for one of South Australia's top clubs, at this point in my practice yoga was just something that I enjoyed, made me fitter and helped my swimming. In 2015 when I was 15 years old I had double knee surgery and was told I would take months to recover, this is when my mental image of yoga changed. Immediately after the surgery I continued to practice yoga, my regular twice a week and each time I did I saw significant improvements. Yoga helped me recover so significantly that I was ready and able to go back to my full swimming training and cross fit within 12 days of surgery. This astonished me and I knew from then on that yoga was simply something I couldn't go without! Like many people I believed yoga had some benefits but I hadn't realised the full extent of the many benefits yoga has to offer. Shortly after my surgery I started year 12 and University when I was 15, trying to juggle school, a degree in nutrition and swimming was obviously very stressful and yoga provided the mental clarity I needed. Practicing yoga throughout such a busy and stressful time was imperative to both my physical and mental wellness, it kept me calm, clear headed, relaxed and focused. I soon decided that this wonderful asset that I was using daily to benefit my life in so many ways was something I wanted to share with others. And not just adults but children as well. I became a qualified children's yoga instructor in 2016 and a qualified adults yoga instructor in 2017. Being able to teach and share with you a practice and way of life that I enjoy so much isn't like a job at all, it's something I truly enjoy. This is why I created my business PURE asana in 2016, my goal is to help others feel fulfilled in their day to day lives and help them to become the best version of themselves.
