What do you love most about Anusara Yoga?

Anusara yoga offers me exceptional tools to practice yoga on the mat and live skillfully within my own body/mind system in order to stay strong, healthy and happy. The method allows me to teach the postures and movement of the body and breath in a very refined way by keeping the connection to spirituality and expressing it in a most beautiful way. I find great pleasure in observing how the Anusara yoga practice transforms students lives as it has mine. The idea of connecting with an international community and like-minded people i find most fascinating.

Why do you teach Anusara yoga?

I love giving people clear orientation and inspiration of what yoga is by using facets of my life, the method and sharing Anusara Yoga’s focus on attitude, alignment and action through skillful practice on the mat and in life with roots in tantric philosophy. Anusara yoga offers defenitely an unique combination of spirituality of the heart and thoughtful movement in the body that can be practiced so easily by everyone.

Why do you license with Anusara?

It is a privilege to call myself a licensed Anusara teacher. This license represents thousands of practice, study and teaching hours, the hard work along the path of certification which i consciously countered with grace using strenght and connection to inner truth as I moved along. It represents my sincere dedication towards the method and my outmost respect towards the organisation that stands behind it. It also reflects my deep gratitude to my core teachers of Anusara yoga, that taught me well in the past (John Friend, Elissa Gumushel, Christine Price-Clark, Christina Sell, Desiree Rumbaugh, Chris Chavez, Todd Inouye, Nicole Konrad and Christina Lobe) . – Let us continue to trust in the roots and essence of the Source and expand our divine conciousness together and continuously.
