Robin Watkins-Davis, Yoga Teacher, shares her yoga story as an example of just how good yoga is for mental health – for our self-esteem and our self-respect.

Yoga gives me my sanity. It keeps me sane and balanced; keeps me from going mad! That’s it..
I began when I was sixteen, in 1970, when I came across a small paperback on yoga. I can’t even remember who it was by, but yoga then was considered generally to be a bit wacky, only for health nut...
