Get to Know Camyogi: Ellie Carter
Name: Ellie Carter
Age: 34
Occupation: Anaesthetist
What brought you to yoga? A hamstring injury from running - I realised that working on my flexibility might be a good idea!
What do you do when you are not working? When I'm not working, I like doing slightly crazy endurance sport events. Last year I did an Ironman triathlon and this year I'll be attempting a cross-country ski marathon.
What is your favourite yoga pose and why? I like balance poses because of the focus required and the satisfaction if/when you manage not to fall over.
What is your least favourite yoga pose and why? Supta Vajrasana - my quads are far too tight from running & cycling to make this pose comfortable.
What is one quality you have taken off the mat and incorporated into your daily life? Learning that it can be good to incorporate a bit of stillness and quiet into my busy life!
An interesting fact about Ellie that you may not know is… I appear in my bikini in the Rough Guide to eco travel....not the most flattering shot but there is a nice Finnish lake in the background!
