Harriet M., United KingdomâEach class feels exceptional and has a clear plan. I love feeling part of a group working towards similar goals with a teacher we know, trust and love!â
STRUGGLES:
I wanted to improve my strength, both physically and mentally. I love the challenge of fully connecting with the practice through the mind and body.
I also wanted something 'just for me,' away from work and other challenges, where I could completely switch off and focus.
DECISION CRITERIA:
I still remember my first class! I absolutely loved that I could hone in on the detailed audio cues and not be disrupted by continually looking up.
I really enjoy the detail, the audio cues and the community you have fostered.
The micro details given in each pose have helped me to connect to the practice on a whole new level.
TRANSFORMATION:
I want to continue to challenge myself and see the small improvements each month that add up to something bigger over a longer period of time.
The tiny progress I have made feels so, so good!
Ana Baptista, PortugalâWhat I love most about your classes are the work ethic and passion that you put into them.â
STRUGGLES:
For years I heard people talking about yoga, but somehow I was never interested in it. I thought it would be boring (total ignorance!) and very focused on meditation.
Years ago, I did a meditation class, and I left more stressed than when I entered the class :) - I had some issues being able to disconnect.
Until this year, I had a friend who said she was going to yoga and that it was helping her with muscle pain and flexibility. As I went to the gym in the morning,
I decided to try it and see if it would help me. Not only did I see the benefits, I realized that âboringâ is not an adjective that one can associate with yoga!
DECISION CRITERIA:
You came highly recommended by another teacher, and that says it all:) It usually doesnât happen - teachers can be quite âcompetitiveâ!
The sequences are very well structured, and we can feel that you know what you are doing, which is something significant for us students - to trust the teacher
TRANSFORMATION:
Yoga has already transformed something in me - understanding the importance of breathing.
It makes a difference as I started practising breathing exercises at home when I am stressed and need to calm down.
Julia W., GermanyâYou have a very special way of explaining asanas, breaking them down, showing what matters â which is not doing the perfect handstand or the most incredible arm balances, but it is more about what the asana is doing for your body. â
STRUGGLES:
I practiced Karate for a very long time. After I moved away from my hometown I struggled to find a dojo that made me feel like home.
So I was looking for another way to exercise that puts my mind at ease and also allows me to strengthen my body.
That was about 12 years ago. Since 12 years I am practicing yoga â it helps me to switch off after a long day at work, feel strong and in control.
The reason I kept practising is simple â for me the people make the place â I would have stayed practising Karate if I had found the right people to practice with â but instead I am finding inspiring Yoga teachers that I feel attached to.
DECISION CRITERIA:
I especially enjoy the monthly sequences â thatâs really amazing. Also the way you explain things and make them relatable.
Your methodology is unique.
I absolutely love that we have 1 month to practice a routine. Which makes me understand certain things much better and also remembering them when doing to other classes.
TRANSFORMATION:
Itâs the state of mind after the practice. I feel energized, balanced and strong.
Lara Zawaedi, LebanonâYour sessions emphasize the âhow toâ aspects of getting into a particular posture, providing a detailed breakdown that I had not previously encountered in my yoga classes. â
STRUGGLES:
At the outset of my yoga journey, my aim was to cultivate self-awareness.
I comprehended the true nature of creating my own reality through the union of body and mind.
Yoga enabled me to alter and improve my mental state more effectively, allowing me to transition to a more positive state of being, and ultimately enhance my overall quality of life.
DECISION CRITERIA:
I had the pleasure of taking one of my initial yoga classes with you at Zoga.
Each teacher has their own distinctive approach and teaching style, and yours was predominantly focused on emphasizing proper posture and alignment.
Within just a few weeks of practicing under your guidance,
By breaking down each posture into smaller, more manageable steps, this approach enabled me to work towards achieving the peak posture with greater precision and ease.
I was able to achieve postures that I had previously believed were beyond my capabilities, despite having practiced for years.
TRANSFORMATION:
With yoga and by deepening my self-awareness and striving for a better quality of life, my aim would always be to remain in a constant state of flow and growth.
Moe M., LebanonâYour professional approach to yoga attracted me. You always seem to challenge me, and I appreciate the structured nature of your classes.â
STRUGGLES:
I started yoga five years ago when I began experiencing lower back problems and needed to strengthen and stretch my body and core.
I got hooked when I realized that it came naturally to me, and I was flowing smoothly and effortlessly.
I must admit that I am naturally more flexible than most other men, which has been a great advantage.
DECISION CRITERIA:
There appears to be a clear goal in each practice. I've taken other classes where the flow was random and inconsistent.
Your emphasis on alignment and arm balances is particularly appealing to me.
Some other classes concentrate on backbends, which I find challenging due to my back injury.
Therefore, I consider your classes to be a perfect fit for my needs.
TRANSFORMATION:
Yoga is an integral part of my life, and my motivation and goal are to continue practicing yoga for as long as I can so that I can still do what I'm doing 30 years from now.
Brigitte G., France âYour class is always challenging, well structured, and your instructions are always clear and precise.â
STRUGGLES:
At the age of 43, out of curiosity, I joined a few semi-private yoga classes, and I quickly felt the benefits of yoga for my mind and body.
Despite my years of practice, my Chaturanga and handstand are very weak. I had some issues in the past with my right shoulder, and I am worried about injuring it again.
DECISION CRITERIA:
You are an inspiring teacher; your class is always very well structured, and you consistently provide precise instructions regarding asanas' alignment and breathing technique.
I also love the fact that you have a strong knowledge of the human body.
TRANSFORMATION:
I like to challenge my body and mind. I always feel better physically and mentally after a yoga class.
I know that yoga is a low-impact activity and a good investment for my future old body!
Andrew B., United Kingdomâthe lessons have had physical and mental impacts. On the physical side I have become significantly more flexible and this has greatly aided sporting activity in terms of playing and recovery. On the mental side I feel better equipped to be able to deal with stress.â
STRUGGLES:
I have been on something of a journey with Natalia for the last year.
I was struggling with stress and decided that yoga would be a good thing to integrate into my life. I had practiced some yoga previously but it had always been a bit sporadic at best.
I was in need of someone inspirational to help guide me.
DECISION CRITERIA:
Natalia was recommended to me by a friend and I have been having one-on-one classes for the last year.
She has been an amazing - and very patient - teacher and has also provided that all important inspiration I was looking for.
TRANSFORMATION:
As to the classes I have really enjoyed your obvious enthusiasm for the practice of yoga and it has been impossible for that enthusiasm to not rub off on me as a student.
A combination of yoga and meditation techniques has blended well in this regard.
The outcome has been fantastic and I would wholeheartedly recommend Natalia to others.
