She began studying an “advanced diploma of integrated body therapies” full time and loved every minute as she has a big interest in the body, how it works and how to maintain it.
She has a background as a full time remedial massage therapist, but not for long as her interest in yoga grew stronger and went on to complete a “Diploma of yoga teacher training” at Nature Care College Sydney.

The philosophy of Yoga and its texts are amazing little treasures of knowledge that make so much sense to Maggie, constantly putting life into perspective.
