Ashtanga Yoga in Spain

Saskia's teaching draws on the therapeutic value of ashtanga yoga, especially the remedial effects of vinyasa (repetition). Her simple but humorous approach encourages students to integrate fun and discipline into their practice: "The practice allows an intimacy with oneself, an honesty that we bring to our mats daily - a moment for us to see things as they are, our bodies as they are, our minds as they are. And somewhere within that, beyond the good and the bad, the pretty and not so fabulous, we find a space of acceptance and independence to connect with the world around us, hopefully with greater awareness."

Background:
Once a career girl in the fashion industry, Saskia stumbled into Astanga Yoga in 1999. After two years under the guidance of teacher Gingi Lee in London she quit the fashion world and hit the road to India. There she spent five years in Mysore, studying daily with her teachers Sri K. Pattabhi Jois & Sharath Rangaswamy, attaining their authorisation to teach. She also spent two years studying holistic therapy, adjustments and nutritional therapy under Dr.Jaggadish at the Jag Therapy clinic.
