“Yoga has always been part of my life since I came in touch with it in my childhood. Later on I discovered how powerful yoga is as a tool for healing on more than just a physical level. The conscious movement of the physical body touched the deeper levels of my being. My personal yoga is a healing journey that guides me to the most hidden and unattended parts of myself.”
