Yoga For Diabetes

A resource to learn how yoga, ayurveda, breath work and meditation can help you to manage your Diabetes. For Type 1, Type 2, LADA and more

Hello and welcome. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008. At first the doctors weren’t sure whether it was type 1 or 2 as I wasn’t a typical candidate for either type of diabetes. But now I am an insulin dependant type 1 LADA diabetic. I started yoga when I was 17 in high school and by the age of 19 I was hooked. When I started Yoga it was to help my dance career but eventually as my practice progressed I became passionate about the deeper aspects of yoga and its ability to heal and inspire. 30 odd years later I still practice passionately and have been teaching nationally ( in Australia) and internationally since 1992. I am also a mother, a musician, a writer and amateur film maker. I have started this blog to share with the Diabetes online community how yoga has helped me to manage my diabetes.
