How did you get into Yoga?
In 2016 I entered London Marathon. I was very keen to train well and most importantly to stave off injuries which is why I decided to combine running with yoga. I’m 100% convinced that yoga did just that by keeping my core strong and my body flexible.
Why did you choose Ashtanga Yoga?
What attracted me to Ashtanga in the first place was the constant flow of movement combined with an equal emphasis on strength and flexibility. Then I got to love how the “special” ujjayi breath gave a totally new dimension to my practice and my relationship to my body. Ashtanga is also a good fit to my personality.
