Experience
Maybe I do not come across as the typical Yoga Teacher. In my teenage years I started to paint with the help of computers and later on I came to work long hours in the computer games industry. I came to hear about yoga when I was at art school and when I tried it for the first time I was hooked. It gave me clarity and focus in my studies and it gave me a tool to work with my curved back. Doctors did regular check ups on me when I was a teenager because of my back. I have a scoliosis which I was born with. I have come to realise that yoga is a tool to stretch out the muscles that works constantly to counterbalance the shape of my spine. At the moment I am hired by a municipality in Copenhagen the teach Yoga.
The base for my teaching is the residential courses I have been to:

At an early age I got interested in Buddhism and the prince who left his kingdom in the search for truth. How can I apply this story to my own life ? to be able to sit I took up the study of yoga. Is there a contradiction between yoga and science ? Sure we can get a theoretical understanding through books, but without the experience we are stuck. Why is it so hard to practice non-violence when the mosquito is landing on my neck ?
