After many years of attending yoga classes and having an inquisitive mind with an interest in philosophy, I decided to enrol for a yoga teacher’s training course to deepen my understanding and practice. I subsequently completed several yoga courses.

My interest lies mainly in a holistic approach: perfect alignment for each individual body, and a meditative, transformational yin practice. For me the balance and harmony obtained through yoga practice (perfect alignment for each individual body, mind and self) is important.

Yin yoga is sometimes called the fountain of youth. As we grow older, our bodies lose flexibility, tension increases, circulation is inhibited and tissues begin to atrophy and deteriorate. Yin yoga can greatly reverse this process, thereby slowing down ageing. The simplicity we find in the stillness and silence of a yin practice might just be the most potent medicine for our modern busy lives.
