Teacher Interview

"She taught me to understand my body and that the fullest expression of a posture is different for everyone." This week, we talked to PYC student Cecilia Cremeaux about her journey to become a Yoga teacher, and what drew her to continue her learning with Elodie Frati.

We caught up with PYC teacher Marta Decarli. Like many teachers, she came to her first yoga class somewhat reluctantly, yet only a few years later she was sharing her passion with others. Find out how she helps her students embrace their strengths alongside their vulnerabilities.

My wish is to reignite the hearts of those who come to my classes. That they may find inspiration within the potential of their own bodies, as well as the inner courage and strength to walk in the direction of dreams.

We caught up with PYC Pregnancy Yoga teacher Lulu Winfield. She has been working in pregnancy for 20 years and her training is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. We wanted to get a clear picture of what mothers-to-be can expect from Pregnancy Yoga classes.

We caught up with Mariel Witmond, a beloved teacher here at The Power Yoga Company. Mariel crafts beautiful dance-like creative sequences for her classes. Find out why she likes to change it up each week and how she deals with self-doubt.

I love yoga. I love its physical, mental, subtle, philosophical and spiritual aspects in equal measure. Most people who have a deep love for yoga can identify with the feeling of yoga making a shift in their life-path.

As I embarked on my first teacher training, I was confident my life would change in the direction I already loved: movement and people. I never thought it would propel me with such force into a world where every door seemed open.

Transformation generally happens when we allow change to happen; stepping outside of our comfort zone we begin to grow and learn about ourselves. It won’t happen overnight, but like our asana practice, it is exactly that - a practice in patience and self-discovery.

We ask Power Yoga teacher Mona Godfrey 10 questions to try and discover what inspired her yoga and meditation journey. Mona arrives to each class full of vivacity and wisdom that she shares generously with anyone who attends her class.

Yoga is the union of mind and body. When you come to a yoga class or come to practice on your mat it may be the only time that day that you check in with what it feels like to be you. Yoga teaches us to be self aware to connect to the breath and to be in the present moment.
