Judith first started practising yoga in the Iyengar method in 1970, after her second child was born. In those days the BKSIYTA (BKS Iyengar Yoga Teachers Association) was not established, and Judith trained to teach with another organisation and started teaching in 1976 (after her fourth and youngest child was born), staying true to her grounding in Iyengar Yoga. She obtained her Senior Intermediate Level 1 Certificate in 2006.

Judith finds that learning yoga is a lifelong process, and brings to her teaching a wealth of knowledge and experience balanced with humour and compassion. She continues to develop her own practice and understanding of yoga and regularly attends workshops, seminars and intensive courses with the world’s greatest teachers in Britain and abroad, including BKS Iyengar’s parent institute in Pune, India, the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI).

Judith Richards was formerly known as Judith Davison, and born Judith Stone.
