Yoyo
Yoyo stumbled upon Yoga three years ago when her friend brought her to her first yoga class as a short escape from her stressful PhD studies. It was from there she realized she might have found that method she had long been searching for. That method has never been taught before in any school where she is accepted to be herself, to grow and experience at her own pace, to just be still and enjoy her presence guided by her own breath.
From then onwards, Yoyo practised various yoga styles, from vinyasa flow, Hatha, and stretch to yin and yang, inversion, and arm balances, mainly in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, from which she completed her RYT200 Yoga teaching training with her teacher Priyan.
Currently, she is practising Mysore Ashtanga daily to continue learning and applying the benefits of Yoga. She believes through this method, she can share her practices and experiences with fellow practitioners. Healing oneself through the practices of focus and breath. She hopes to share with everyone that by following their own rhythm of breath, they can reach a space where they can feel Joy in the body and Peace in the Heart.
In his last trip to Ubud to conduct the 9-Day Intensive segment of his Yoga Teacher Training Course, Priyan met up with his teacher Burkhard from the Akasha Yoga Academy to share his yoga journey in an insightful discussion that explored his journey from architect to meditator to yogi.
