I began practicing Yoga in 2014. I was visiting a Surf and Yoga Retreat in Portugal, it was wonderful. Back home in Switzerland the Yoga studio became my second home. Almost every day I went to a Yoga class to find balance and relax from my stressful job at the hospital. Within two years my body and my mind both changed in a positive way thanks to Yoga. Through unexpected circumstances I got to finish my first teacher training in 2017 on the island of Bali. Spontaneous and without expectations this Bhakti Yoga experience changed my life. By the end of the year I quit my job and my flat to leave my home country to travel and live my two passions surfing and yoga every day. I went back to Portugal, Indonesia, Denmark and Sri Lanka. I have been away for about two years now and I am exploring many new and incredible places, but I also got to know different realities on this planet. Yoga is always part of my life on and off the mat. On my way I've met some precious and inspiring yogis, teachers and students. My horizon expands constantly and I am enjoying every moment of it.
I am back in Lucerne for a couple of months and I would be happy to share my knowledge, my experience and my inspirations with you, before I am going to travel back to the ocean.
Do you have any tips for Yoga newbies?
Step on your mat over and over again and see it as an anchor. Explore, practice and be open. The rest will follow. You will recognize the difference and witness how much you will grow with your practice beyond the Yoga mat.
