There was a time when yoga was simply a means of keeping the stress and fear of living under Apartheid at bay for South African Bridgette Horszowski. Now living in Ireland, she has turned it into a career
 South African-born Bridgette Horszowski is a great example of how people can turn a negative into a positive when it comes to the cards they are dealt in life. While living through the oppressive days of Apartheid, she discovered the benefits of yoga as a means to destress from the social unrest around her, and later transformed her devotion into a solid source of income in Ireland.
