Mysore Yoga CPH - Astanga Yoga - Copenhagen - København - FrederiksbergFront desk manager at a busy hotel in Copenhagen. Started practicing in 2014 at MYC.

Why did you start practicing?

For a long time I had like a secret crush on yoga. I found it interesting, both inside and outside, without really knowing too much about it. After a period of not feeling like my best self, I woke up one Sunday morning and just wanted to start the practice of yoga “right here, right now”.

Why Astanga and Mysore style practice?

When I started yoga, I didn´t know much about the different styles. I searched for yoga in my area, and MYC came up. I went there, with an open mind and heart, without knowing what to expect.

I had not heard about Mysore style before, and my previous encounters were only with guided classes. I must admit that at first I was a little skeptical about the concept, but just after the first session I was sold!

Mysore style is a fantastic way to practice and grow with yoga. You connect with your teacher in a special way through the individual teaching and still get that special power from practicing together with other people.

What inspires you to keep practicing?

The way yoga makes me feel, both in my body and mind. It’s an endless practice, that keeps on challenging and rewarding me physically and mentally.
