I came to yoga relatively late in life in 2013. With a technical background, I was wary of anything that had to do with spirituality. I nevertheless started practising Ashtanga yoga for its physical benefits. And it did help me become stronger and more flexible but, more importantly, my devoted yoga practice gradually brought along a more internal, more subtle transformation in me. At this point in my yogic journey, I feel that yoga has brought me closer to myself, it has helped me reconnect with my intuition and made me feel more confident, content and at ease. I am forever grateful to those who have guided me and continue to guide me along this path, in particular to Sharmila Desai, a profoundly inspiring human being who since 2019 I am honoured to call my teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaia Ashtanga Yoga was born in 2022 as my humble contribution to a better world. We live in a society in which mind and body are greatly disconnected. This prompts us to endlessly seek happiness in what surrounds us, not knowing that all we are looking for is already within us. My own experience has shown me that yoga acts like a mirror that helps you look inside and connect. And by connecting with your inner self, it helps you connect with other beings and with nature. This is the precious gift of yoga which I am thrilled to share with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
