Yoga with...â„¢ WERONIKA

Hello,

Since first stepping into a yoga school in Krakow (my home city), at the age of 20, I knew that yoga was what I was looking for. Yoga enriched and brought meaning to my life and after a few years of intensive practice of Sivananda yoga, I decided to share the joy of yoga with others and so became a teacher in 2007.

Since then I’ve been teaching continuously: first in Krakow and then in Edinburgh, where I came to study social anthropology. I’ve taught a wide variety of students with varying fitness levels and I've even worked with people suffering from multiple sclerosis, which has been the most challenging and rewarding part of my career till now.

In January 2011 I spent 6 months in India, the cradle of yoga, on a spiritual quest. Whilst there I completed the Advanced Teachers' Training Course at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in Madurai which gave me the title of Yoga Acharya (master of yoga). I also went through an intense 10 days long Vipassana meditation course in Calcutta and attended classes taught by various gurus in Rishikesh.

My classes follow the Sivananda style, which includes breathing techniques (pranayama), a set of physical postures (asana) and a final relaxation with the use of visualisation techniques. As a teacher, I try to encourage my students to find their inner potential and I always adjust my classes to their individual needs and abilities.
