Classical, Medieval and Modern Yoga
Yoga has evolved over thousands of years while maintaining the same fundamental aspiration:
freedom from suffering.
Modern yoga has brought yoga to millions of people worldwide.
In my teaching, I honour both traditional wisdom and contemporary understanding, integrating classical yoga philosophy with modern knowledge of anatomy, trauma awareness, and nervous system regulation.

FAQ
I’m not flexible or strong. Can I practice yoga?
Absolutely. Flexibility or strength is not a prerequisite for practicing yoga. Asana—the physical postures—are not about achieving a particular shape or level of ability. With regular practice, the body may naturally become stronger, more flexible, and more balanced, but these are not the goal. Rather, asana is an opportunity to explore and connect with the body, breath, and present moment. From there, the practice can gradually unfold.
Do I need experience to begin?
No. The practice can begin exactly where you are, with attention to your body, breath, questions, and current life situation.
Is yoga only physical postures?
Physical postures are one doorway. Traditional yoga also includes ethics, breath, attention, meditation, self-inquiry, and ways of living with greater clarity.
How is an individual session shaped?
Each session is adapted to your needs and may include dialogue, movement, breathwork, relaxation, meditation, or guidance for home practice.
