Yoga Teacher & Stress free life Coach
In 2004 I fell in love with yoga on the beautiful island of Bali. Working a hectic job in tourism I was looking for more peace of mind. One day I asked my Balinese colleague how he managed to always stay calm and friendly. “You do the same work as I do, you deal with similar problems, you must feel the same stress. What is your secret?” He showed me his bright smile and answered: “I do yoga and meditation”.
A couple of years later, yoga became part of my life. However, I felt an inner change once I added meditation to my daily practice of physical exercises (asanas). I became more connected to myself and with that with the world around me. Bit by bit I experienced more calmness within myself, I became a happier person!
After several years of practice I felt the desire to share yoga with others and I decided to go to India to become a certified teacher.
In October 2013 I followed the 200 hours Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in India and in 2017 I got myself also specialized in Yin Yoga. In 2019, after over five years of teaching, I felt I was ready for the next step and went back to India to do the 300 hours Advanced Yoga Teacher Training, which I successfully completed. Besides I am also certified in ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Anxiety Coaching and NonViolent Communication.
With Granada Spirit I am able to do what I love most: bring yoga and meditation to others so they are able to follow their own path towards a happy, healthy and more balanced life.
The classes are a mixture of asanas (Hatha and Yin yoga postures), breathing-, and relaxation exercises and meditation.
Beginners and experienced yoga practitioners alike are very welcome in my classes.
