Why did you start with yoga?

Since young age I was moving a lot, sometimes voluntarily, sometimes not. Every year I was in a different country with different language and culture. I needed something that would travel with me. If baggage restrictions in the planes would allow it, I would probably never start with yoga and travel with a piano. Yoga is light, in every sense

Why did you become a yoga teacher? 

To be barefoot while in a city. I attempt to reach the mind through the body and not vice versa, even if reaching body through the mind is also very interesting, I just chose the body. I work with and via the body also as a physiotherapist and as a cancer yoga therapist. I love touch, bodily presence of people and energies that comes with the bodies. The mind will follow.
