I see yoga as a path of self development. The yoga that I teach is a method for achieving changes in the emotions, mind & spirit through the body. It is a combination of traditional yoga, mainly coming from Swami Sivananda, and modern approaches from the world of body psychotherapy & Yin Yoga.

There have been many studies on how posture can change how we feel, think and behave. If you want to make an experiment yourself just try this out: hold a pencil in your mouth, between your teeth for 5-10 minutes and check if this changes anything in how you feel, most likely you are going to feel lighter, happier and calmer. This is happening because when we hold a pencil in our mouth in this way it forces us to smile, and when we feel we are smiling, even if we have no reason to be happy, our body starts producing brain signals that promote happiness. This shift is real.

In the same way any yoga posture that we do, every breathing technique every, and every kriya uses the body to achieve a different change in our mind. Some techniques can make us happier, some more loving, some more confident.
