Roma Blair was one of the earlier yoga teachers in Australia.
She has an interesting story; while spending three years in a Japanese prison camp in WWII, she gave birth without a doctor, no anaesthetic and therefore contracted dysentery and was very ill. Later, while living in South Africa, she was referred to a yoga swami to help with her health issues. Through yoga her health returned and she came back to Australia in 1957 to open her yoga school.
She also hosted a yoga television show in the 1960's. I love this picture!
In 1966 she went to India and was made the first female Australian Swami by Swami Satyananada. She has published books, videos and records on yoga.
This one is fantastic! She kicked off her heels and leotard for Yoga - the Natural Way...
