What do you emphasize in your teaching?

I focus on the inner practice and helping students achieve a stronger body, a more mobile and flexible body, and a stronger mind.

What do you hope your students will take away from a class with you?

I want my students to leave with a sense of calm and presence, which hopefully they can carry with them throughout the rest of their day. I also want them to master listening to themselves, picking up on the small signals their bodies are constantly sending, and perhaps not being so much caught up in their heads.

What do you particularly like about Senses?

I think there are many skilled and friendly instructors at Senses. The surroundings are also very pleasant, and there is a wide diversity of people here.

What motivates you to teach?

My motivation comes when I can see in my students’ eyes that their nervous system is calming down, and that they are fully present on their yoga mats. It’s a pleasure to create this space for them.
