I AM YOGI is the story of wanting to build a yoga community. The company was
co-founded by myself and Vittoria Manca. After practising yoga together for many
years at various studios, we wanted to give it a go ourselves! In 2016, I
decided to leave my career as a secondary school teacher and complete my yoga
training in Goa, India. On returning, teaching in the local gym just wasn’t
enough and the vision started to brew. The origins of I AM YOGI started in a
space called ‘The Glasshouse’, which was essentially a conservatory on a pub
car-park in Moseley. The weekly schedule started there. Wind the clock forward
18 months and the purpose-built wooden cabin that now stands in Moseley Park,
was The Glasshouse re-envisioned. The cabin was constructed by a local carpenter
and friend, Jim Jones along with many helping hands from parents, close friends,
extended family and local stakeholders. Today, I have a dedicated team who work
hard behind the scenes, from our CABIN CREW to our outstandingly dedicated
TEACHING TEAM. The community that I AM YOGI serves and continues to create is
special - and now even extends out into the virtual world since the pandemic!
You can practice YOGA AT HOME with us from anywhere, anytime! The work we
continue to do is for every yogi that continues to show up and practice with us.
