When international yoga teacher Lucy Crawford, who teaches across the globe, accepted my invitation to visit our wonderful Yoga Loft, in the small village of Burbage and host her own three-day-weekend for our students, I was very excited – to say the least.

Two-and-a-half years ago, my life had become so fast paced that my anxiety levels were through the roof. I was overwhelmed, with a hectic working schedule and the never-ending pressures of modern life; it was then that I realised that I needed to sort my head out. I didn't want to live like that anymore and that’s when I decided to take ‘a year out’ from life and I paid my first visit to Yoga Loft.
