Ascend to the Top
Shona Vertue began gymnastics when she was five years old, and it was just a class of leaping jelly beans. At the age of nine, she began her training as an Elite Gymnast in Sydney. She used to exercise for 20 hours a week in order to improve her agility and tough skills. Along with her gymnastics training, Shona also dabbled in ballet and classical dance. She decided to stop dancing and gymnastics training after ten years because she was exhausted. She was under constant pressure to perform in both ballet and gymnastics, which required two different types of movement; this took its toll on her, and she stopped enjoying them.
Then she went to work in an office, but it, too, was only for a short time. She noticed that her body was weak, stiff, and exhausted after a few months in the office. She realized that the injuries she had incurred during her Gymnastics and Ballet training sessions were the source of all of her chronic discomfort.
As a result, Shona began looking for ways to assist her overcome this. This is how she learned about Yoga, fell in love with it right away, and began practicing it in 2008. Yoga, she believed, allowed her to move with the same agility and fluidity as Ballet dancing, while also providing strength and focus similar to her Gymnastic training. While earning her Yoga certification, Shona realized that physical wellness requires the well-being of one’s heart and mind. Yoga, she believes, has given her mental and emotional power and is more than a physical discipline.
