In conversation with: Kat Farrants from Movement for Modern Life

Movement for modern life is an online platform for Yoga and well-being, which changes the way people think about their online practice and revolutionizes the zoom training room. kat Farrants is the founder of Movement for Modern Life: she turned to yoga when she needed the most urgent, and now shares the practice via the platform with students from all over the world. Inspired by her entrepreneurial spirit and a yoga event organized by Yoga for charitable purposes Yogamatter for International Women's Day 2021 We thought it would be great to speak to Kat about yoga, business and find your true passion.

We would like to learn more about you. Can you tell us something about who you are and what you do?

"After a decade in the city in corporate law, I really know how stressed, busy and overwhelming life can be. I really wanted to benefit from the wisdom of these down-to-earth teachers. To provide tools for everyday life. Yoga in PJS, without unusual outfits or poses.

Tell us how you discovered yoga yourself?

"I started practicing yoga at the age of 18. I was impressed by this wonderful, non-competitive way of moving the body. My whole experience of the embodiment at school was really clouded by school sports. Feel a real surprise for me. I am also a vegetarian. The gentle movements of yoga and the philosophy of the acceptance really made a difference to my healing.

What did your personal practice mean for you before yoga became part of your professional life?

"To be honest, it started as a form of exercise and as a means-it was an ego thrust. I practiced Ashtanga and Vinyasa. I am only glad that there was no Instagram at the time. When I was involved in this serious car accident and my husband left me later, I discovered the healing work of yoga. Was the practice of yoga nidra and the breathing work that helped me heal a large part of the trauma and follow my heart to build my own business.

We know that you founded Movement for Modern Life so that you can continue to practice with your favorite teachers after moving. Do you tell us about this trip?

"It was my yoga nidra exercise that made me uncover dharma , to start movement for modern life. I knew that I had to share the practices that had helped my physical and emotional healing. I really liked it over the decades. Famous yoga rock stars.

I wanted to set up an online studio because accessibility and inclusiveness were always very important to me. I wanted to make yoga as accessible as possible with the best teachers, and that is really possible when it is online. I also thought it was great that people who did not feel welcome in Studios and felt that they could not match the stereotype of the yoga body could practice comfortably from home.

What do you love at home at yoga?

"I love so many aspects of home training: The fact that we can continue and do it at any time-without air and grace. We have to wear nothing special, only practicing in our PJs is perfect. I can only fit for 10 minutes in a home training every day, and that makes the difference. The proximity of a studios, and what I love is that we need to practice time on this day - not the practice that the teacher wants to teach us. we can practice for 10 minutes. Home yoga experience is far from why I did not want to have a studio, and for me to be able to practice with my family, and I think it is just so many advantages that we learn on the matte.

What knowledge did you win when the transition from a rapid career to start and operate Movement for Modern Life?

"A rapid career was very relaxed and relaxed in comparison to my own business. In the first five years there were no holidays, no weekends, where every single decision was about whether the business survived or not. Every single attitude could be decisive and every single customer could mean whether I had to be a lawyer again or I have never noticed. Relaxing it was to be a lawyer and (a few!) Weekends and holidays.

Do you have any advice for someone who is considering transforming his passion into a career?

"I accept afterwards if I would have known at the time what I know-that it would cost years of personal life, the stress, risk, no vacation or leisure and how complex it would not be to do. Call up your passion for the joy.
