Angela Farmer

Opportunities to interview a role model don’t come up very often so this is a very special episode. I’ve been fascinated by Angela Farmer because of the quality of vitality, curiosity and playfulness she has in her 80’s. One of my ongoing enquiries is ‘how to age well’ and as you listen, this is what she shares in our conversation.

Inventor of the yoga mat, because the floor was just too hard, Angela was one of the first to be trained by Iyengar in the west. She moved from Iyengar Yoga, which was then a rigid structure of poses to be 'perfected' and about how the body looks, to focussing exclusively on the inner world and what the body wants to happen, from the inside.

If you are someone who would like to age well, and/or have a yoga practice you will find so much gold in this conversation.

The audio quality isn’t that great I’m afraid, but as Angela says, there is a great abundance of beauty in the valley of Eftalou where she lives, but wifi is not one of them. I am just glad the internet connection held.

You can join Angela for Zoom yoga classes at angela-victor.com
