I have been in contact with the term Yoga since I was 14 years old. My mom took me to her Yoga lessons and I loved how I felt at the end of the class. But the Western Yoga Lessons were mainly Asana based, and treated as a workout which was too exhausting for me. A lot of anger built up in me sometimes during the lesson as it was too challenging for my type of character. I like to move and flow and activate my energy but not force me into having pain or exhaustion.

 

When I was 18teen I tried Yin Yoga, which is more meditative, and instantly fell in love. There was a moment when my breath was very deep, my mind was very calm and I had a calm and tingling, sensation in my whole body, feeling light but grounded at the same time. I felt a slight sensation of peace I had never felt before. From that moment on, I felt that Yoga is way more than just for your body. Shortly later I was initiated into the practice of Atma Kriya Yoga given to humanity by Mahavatar Babaji and my spiritual teacher Paramahamsa Vishwananda, which was the beginning of my self-healing journey and a reminder of my relationship with the divine within and without.

 

 After graduating my Matura, I knew I wouldn't want to go to university. So instead, I absolved my 200h Online Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha and Ashtanga. After, I had a strong calling to dive into the Tantric practice of Kundalini Yoga and was blessed with the ability to travel to India where I spent 5 weeks in Rishikesh, for my 300h Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training.
