About

Yoga Memories is a research adjacent blog operated by me (Simon Crisp) which I hope will become filled with memories which have been shared with me as part of my PhD research, as well as interesting media coverage, photos and videos which I have come across or been given during my studies.

However, I would also love to see this become a space for sharing memories of practicing yoga in the UK in the 20th century. These could be recollections you have of a class, teacher or moment which resonated or were personally significant. Equally, that memory might be intrinsically connected to a physical item which you have held on to or an old magazine article or TV show you have tucked away somewhere.

If you have a specific memory you would be willing to share; please get in touch here.

In the meantime, I will be adding new updates as my research progresses and retrospective posts of things that have already been shared with me.
