In 2013, I was lucky enough to spend a year in Kenya teaching in a local primary school and developing my yoga teaching skills at a beautiful location on the equator!

I had the luxury of being able to focus on class planning and further study of yoga anatomy and history. Further details on my yoga classes are at yogawithstacey.co.uk
