School Info

My school in the tradition of classical Hatha Yoga. The eight limbs of yoga the root of my teachings as for me it is essential to practice and teach all the aspect of the discipline. Following the lineage of my master, the asana practice is Iyengar oriented, and the phylosophical and spiritual aspect are rooted in the Yogic Tantra and also influence by the Buddhist Tantra. My classes, courses and teachings are oriented towards private or very small groups of people, even for teacher training. Inspired by this long tradition of students and teachers, the goal and purpose of Baba Yoga is to teach yoga in depth to serious students who are commited to learn the whole discipline. My studio room is located in my home, it is a serious yet humble school. I also give teacher training in other studio as a guest teacher.
