This is the first part of a two part discussion with Eugenie Knox. Eugenie was born in Melbourne in 1942 and has always been a dynamic figure, using dance and movement from a very young age.

She began Dance of Life dance and yoga studio in the late 70s, and has been teaching for longer than I’ve been alive! She has written multiple books on yoga and her own memoirs.

Eugenie is a dedicated devotee of Amma.

In this episode we discuss her early life and how tragic circumstances lead to her opening her own dance studio at the incredibly young age of 12!

We’ll learn what she and the wider Australian community thought about yoga back in the heady days of the 70s and 80s, and we will also learn about the life changing experience that made her decide to fully engage in practicing and teaching yoga.

Enjoy, and look out for Part 2!
