R.I.P. Great Aunt Roma Blair

It is with great sadness that I announce my incredible and inspirational Great Aunt Roma Blair has recently passed away. Roma was Australia's first female swami and was known as the 'mother of yoga' in Australia. Throughout her career Roma published six books on yoga, made two videos, four records, established yoga clubs, filmed yoga exercise shows for Channel Nine, featured in magazine lift-outs and wrote newspaper columns, and to top it off, Roma was also an established model.
I'm sure many people see similarities between Roma and I, and I have always felt a connection between us, both being models, being very flexible and sharing a love of all things leopard print!
Roma's life was not always television shows, social engagements and photo shoots, Roma was Australia's first proxy bride, she was captured in a Japanese prisoner of war camp where she remained a prisoner in Java for three years in which time she gave birth with no doctors, contracted dysentery and was so ill she would sometimes cough up worms.
Roma was an incredible woman and I urge you all to go out and get yourself a copy of her biography Roma: From Prison to Paradise.
R.I.P. Aunt Roma. You will be missed. xxx
