My Story

​

Every Yoga teacher has a story. A day when it all started and there was no turnback. For some of them, yoga was always part of the family traditions, and for others, yoga sneaked into their lives as an unexpected guest, a visitor to change everything. For the better.

I was in a very dark place when I booked my first yoga class. I was unstable and confused literally about everything that was happening in my life at that time. About work, family, relationships, everything. My daily task was to get through the day and find purpose, find something that is meaningful and gives me some hope to go on. Working in hospitality 12 hours a day didn’t support my mental health. I have always been an introvert, an empath, soaking in other people’s moods and energy like a sponge absorbs water. For many years this sensitive and deep feeler side of mine has been suppressed or put in the wrong place. I didn’t understand why I am struggling. Why life seems so hard, even though I do my best to make ends meet and live life fully?

After my first yoga class, I felt a sense of ease that I never experienced before. I was ....calm. I was ok. Not happy, not sad, just okay with myself. Okay with life. And this "okay" made me keep going. I went to the second, third, and fourth classes, and that was it. I never stopped since then. That "okay" feeling, the clarity and the acceptance of my circumstances became the norm, my base, my root. In my "pre-yoga" life I was uncontrollably dragged along by my thoughts and feelings. With my regular yoga practice, I learned to recognize them, accept them, and let them go or transform them into a much better version that supports me, my health, and my personal growth.

For me, yoga "is" a lifestyle. It "is" a spiritual practice. It "does" have the power to change lives. And it is my honour now to be your teacher on this amazing journey.
