A yoga teacher with a law degree<\/p>
My first contact with yoga was in 2005, when I was in Italy taking my law exams. At that time I was living in Carloforte, a small island in the south-west of Sardinia. As a child I trained in rhythmic gymnastics and as a teenager in contemporary dance. So the discipline of yoga<\/a> fascinated me from the start. At 16 I also decided to become vegetarian, which is why I felt closely connected to the culture of yoga and the spirituality that comes with it.<\/p> I fell in love not only with the different positions, the asanas, but also with the fact that yoga is much more than simple stretching. It’s a recognised teaching rich in tradition, aimed at living our true spirituality. Constant physical training with practical exercises (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama<\/a>) provide balance. The cleansing kriya techniques deepen and complete yoga practice.<\/p> My search for waves and great spots brought me to Fuerteventura<\/a>. Here, on this Canary island, I also found the peace to devote myself fully to yoga. It’s also where I met my dear friend Valentina. Valentina not only passed on her knowledge to me, but besides her passion for yoga she also shares my love of waves<\/a> and spirituality. In 2011 we travelled to India together with another friend to take part in an intensive Hatha yoga teacher training. We completed sessions at the highest level at the Patanjali International Yoga Foundation in Rishikesh. We didn’t just train \u2013 we also experienced the culture of the country and visited many holy places. It was the most beautiful journey of my life \u2013 even without a surf session.<\/p> Yoga is holistic training<\/a>, because it not only demands flexibility but also strengthens the muscles and corrects posture. In everyday life we often unconsciously remain in the wrong posture. Regular practice is the ideal complement to surf courses<\/a> and supports progress in the water. What’s more, yoga<\/a> helps you to experience yourself and discover the interplay between mind and body, which is often out of balance. Through the exercises, students recognise their weak points and can work on avoiding them in the future<\/span><\/p> I’d like to encourage everyone to experience this traditional teaching at least once in their life.<\/p> Just drop by FreshSurf and ask for me.<\/p> Yours, Ana<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A yoga teacher with a law degreeMy first contact with yoga was in 2005, when I was in Italy taking my law exams.
