"Practise, practise, practise and all will come to you."
- Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois -
"Yoga was designed to revolutionise your life. Anything less than that is simply exercise." - Max Strom
Yoga is a great workout. And it is much more than that! At Zen Librarian, yoga is taught according to its ancient origin: uniting Mind and Body. In the class we explore the body that we have, with all its individual quirks. We work from there, discovering endless possibilities. Every class contains elements of pranayama (breathing), asanas (poses) and savasana (meditation).
I discovered yoga in 1999, found my first teacher in Zambia, practised under the blue African skies, learnt Ashtanga in dusty Egypt, deepened the Mysore practice in vibrant Shanghai. The teacher training in Vinyasa Yoga opened up the world of flow in yoga.
I have been teaching yoga since 2008 and am a qualified yoga teacher (RYT 200), trained with Hilary Brown at Yoga Moves, and with David Swensson.
