Yoga has become the über trend. I see it as a particularly good news. I started practising Yoga in 1997 and have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga since 2002. I am also a certified Yoga teacher. I added a Kundalini practice in 2017, which I find equally transformative. Both bring me a lot of physical and emotional strength. To share this Art with you, I featured a few of my favorite asanas and some of my fellow yogis and yoginis in their favorite poses. Everyone shares a bit about what Yoga means to them and why they could probably not imagine their life without it.

The subtle intricacies of this pose shape my practice. A gentle nudge forward, a slight shift of the back foot, a strong bend in my knee, feeling the earth pulling down on my hips and my gaze focused on the abyss. With my torso strong and bold, I am strong, a gentle warrior.
