I have been practicing yoga since 2008, daily since 2012. Although my first contact with yoga took place much earlier. The butterfly pose, the yoga final relaxation "savasana", body scans and a form of mediation are things that I have been practicing since I was a teenager. I just hadn't heard of the word yoga yet. But yoga seeds were planted in me at an early age by those around me. Fun fact: my first yoga books came from my grandfather's bookcase.

In 2014 I took my first yoga teacher training and started teaching. Since then I have continued to develop my yoga practice. Both through many other yoga teacher training courses, by continuing to practice daily and from my yoga teachers Jared McCann (also my mentor), Andrei Ram and the Mohan family (direct students of Sri Krishnamacharya), who are an inspiration to me on my yoga path.

And of course I have been running the beautiful webshop for sustainable yoga clothing “YogaHabits” since 2015.
