What our past students say:
My personal favourite was the chanting of the yoga sutras and the reflection on the different challenges we face in our everyday lives. This course will help you see how the practice of yoga is related to life beyond the yoga studio and to human relationships. It showed me how to dive deeper into myself to explore my behavioural patterns and use the stillness found on the yoga mat to challenge what holds me back from a place of understanding, and to find the courage to move forward using my inner strength.
Learning about the yamas and nyamas, and the kleshas, and the discussions with fellow participants and Angelika, was very helpful in learning how to be more comfortable with uncertainty, with myself and others. The course was also fun and allowed me to meet some amazing people who are now my friends.
Angelika is an incredible and authentic teacher, with extensive knowledge and experience, who is also encouraging, kind and very dedicated. It was an inspiration and honor to be her student and I really did not want the course to end.
