When Vani Devi developed a speech problem in her 40s, she visited a Harley Street specialist, who told her "I can't help you, but I suggest you take up yoga". It was the best advice she ever received. Vani Devi trained to be a yoga teacher at the age of 52 and has now been teaching for nearly 20 years. Her first career was in teaching and performing music, and she continues to practice and teach. Vani Devi lives in Newbury, UK.
