And, by the way, all of those qualities can be aspects of a good yoga practice. So where's the real Yoga? Which aspect is most important?

According to Sri Krishnamacharya - India's most important hatha yoga teacher of the 20th century - yoga should be tailored to the individual, and centered around the breath. A skillful practice reflects your age, your level of fitness and health, your cultural background, and even your values. So yoga is not meant to be imposed on you.

Yoga should help you to embody YOUR unique presence in this world. 

Sri Krishnamacharya taught five simple but necessary principles of yoga as the foundation for a practice that helps you see more clearly - and feel more deeply - what it means to be you. That’s it. Five simple but critically important yoga principles.

My mission is to transmit these principles to everyone interested in starting or deepening their practice. I have trained in different styles and methods, starting with my first Teaching Certificate from the Bikram Yoga College of India in 2002; to my Authorization by Sharath Jois in 2016 to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga; to regular teaching workshops with Mark Whitwell since 2019. These have been my teachers, and I synthesize what I've learned from them, for you. 

Once firmly established, these five principles can be the foundation for taking on any yoga method or style. However, they are best applied in your own, daily self-practice. That's what I specialize in helping people do.
