Teacher Interview

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.

Meditation has been part of the human experience for several thousand years, but it may be now that it is most needed. It's central to improving our quality of life; making us aware of who we are, where we are and what we want from our lives.

He’s the curly-haired, smiley, scooter driving Brazilian taking London’s yoga scene by storm, and we're so happy he’s made his way to our studio! Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Christian began his yoga journey at very early age...

I decided to do The Power Yoga Company’s 200-hour Teacher Training in 2011, which was one of the most amazing and transformational experiences of my life! I want every student to enjoy the benefits of a challenging workout, whilst respecting their own unique and special body.

We know our teachers are great, but it’s always wonderful to hear just how much they make an impact on other people’s lives. Here, we share a face to face interview with Léa where we discuss her thoughts and feelings about teaching yoga to beginners.

The City Actuarial Systems Developer turned yogi began his yoga journey back in 2002 as a means of injury prevention. David first found yoga via Bikram. His love for the physical and mental balance of the class later served as a springboard for three yoga teacher training courses.

I decided to take a teacher training to increase my understanding of both the philosophical and physical aspects of Yoga. I found that I enjoyed teaching and found it hugely rewarding.

Yoga connects me to my most authentic self. I leave a Yoga class feeling like I am more in touch with my body and mind; stronger both physically and mentally; harmonised, balanced and stress-free.

After my first class, I felt such a strong connection to the practice that I was hooked! And that was it really, I went one day and have never looked back. The more I practiced the more I realized how truly profound Yoga is with endless layers.

I love teaching because I love seeing people explore their potential. Somewhere within this process there are moments of true presence, and I find these moments the most precious of all, especially in a world obsessed with past and future.
