I started practicing Yoga 2005, when I started my education to become a professional dancer. Yoga was the perfect complimentary training for us dance students to get strong in a healthy way. Also later, when I was working in the dance company at the theatre, we had Yoga classes each week. Since then it has been my way to stay healthy and without injuries as a dancer.
As I went deeper into my practice by doing the education as a Yoga teacher, the importance of Yoga and meditation in my life grew even more. Now it doesn’t only help me to stay healthy physically, but more importantly – emotionally. It helps me to stay in contact with myself, to trust, to accept and to know what is important in life.
Do you have any tips for Yoga newbies?
Be nice to yourself, don’t judge – and enjoy. It can bring you anywhere if you are open for it!
