Bikram Yoga Delray Beach

Grew up in Helsinki, Finland, raised riding/training horses meant broken bones and dislocated joints.  A motorcycle accident, during college years in Spain, left me with a deaf ear and poor balance.  Arrived America in my late 20’s, begun digging deep into meditation/self-realization. Many teachers, many methods. A stay living with the ancient Arhuaco Indian Tribe in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada Mountains had a deep impact on me, revealed how teachers can be so many, all over the world, but the Truth is always the Same.     Physical pain forced me to leave high-impact sports and lead to Hatha Yoga.  However, soon became hard on myself again, forcing my body to fit inside advanced postures. Pain returned.  Heat attracted me to Bikram. It wasn’t love at first 90 minutes but during my first one-week introductory noticed pain diminishing, balancing on one leg becoming easier, hyperventilating stopped.  I was learning to breath; I was learning Patience. Finally found the perfect combination of Physical Exercise, Healing and Meditation.  Sharing my own practice as a Teacher I continuously educate myself and follow new Science discoveries of Human Body and Mind.  However, my emphasis remains in the step-by-step Simple, Original Bikram dialogue that facilitates the concentration and meditation.  The Healing happens when your only goal is the Next Step!
