A relaxed mind, the body of a twenty-something and the heart rate of an athlete - is it any wonder why Sally Griffyn traded in her 9-5 for a life full of yoga, meditation and wellbeing?

Of course, like any true well-meaning yogi, she has a conscience and is keen to give back - helping others to change their lives for the better, as she did.

As the director of Sacred Mastery Yoga, Sally runs a regular London-based yoga masterclasses and retreats in the UK and beyond.

She also has big dreams based around how yoga can help teenagers with body anxiety and aggression.

You used to work as a full-time professional photographer and director in a property company, why did you leave to take up yoga as a a full-time career?

I wanted to transform my lifestyle to one of health and vitality, and I get immense physical, emotional and wellbeing from yoga and meditation.

Since getting out of my 9-5, going freelance and setting up Sacred Mastery Yoga - I really have never looked back.

You say you traded the gym for yoga, why is this?

Running round on a treadmill or lifting weights certainly shaped my body but the workouts and gym yoga classes didn't do anything for my soul.
