Wendy
was born in Capetown , South Africa , an area of astounding natural
beauty, surrounded by Table Mountain, the Indian Ocean and the
Atlantic Ocean. After marriage, she spent six years in Botswana
living in Gaborone , exploring the Okavango delta and the Kalahari
Desert , rich in Bushmen paintings and experiencing the life of the
Motswana people.
She attended the University of Natal ,obtaining a
degree in teaching and spent a number of years teaching High school
before she and her family decided to pursue a new adventure and
immigrate to Canada.
Her yoga journey started in South Africa
, continuing in Botswana , where although no yoga teachers were available, a
group of like minded friends took it in turns to lead a regular yoga class.
As
Albert Einstein said “as we acquire more knowledge, things do not
become more comprehensible but more mysterious” so we were blissfully
unaware of our ignorance.
After immigrating to Canada and adjusting to this new experience,
Wendy's yoga path continued in a more formal manner.
After
exploring a number of different yoga modalities, she eventually decided
to formalize her many years of experience by becoming a Kripalu yoga
teacher. Needless to say, this is but another step along a rich path
to a life time of learning. “Studying yoga and all that it entails is
like eating a pomegranate, as you lift one little piece a whole new
vista lies beneath.”
Wendy
has been an active entrepreneur in York region for more than fifteen
years, running successful computer schools in Newmarket and Richmond
Hill. In addition to the computer schools, she co ordinates and manages
a number of Government sponsored programs, designed to help the unemployed
market themselves for the labour market of today.
As Wendy states, “I have been greatly blessed both with the countries that I
have been fortunate enough to live in, providing me with a richly divergent background
and in my professional and Yoga life as both have provided me with the opportunity
to lead people down the path to enrichment. “ |
