Sanne
Laboratory assistant. Started Astanga yoga in 2013.
Why did you start practicing?
I have always had a fascination towards yoga. Before starting the word resonated as an interesting exotic workout. The reason I first stepped onto the mat was that I wanted new things to happen and to develop personally in a new direction.
Why Astanga and Mysore style practice?
I was looking for a yoga style that not only focused on seated meditation, but would also provide physical challenges.
What inspires you to keep practicing?
Practicing feels natural for me, yet I feel challenged at the same time. I can feel the mental and physical progress. Every time I practice I find the feeling of peace.
What are the benefits of the practice for you?
I use the breath awareness both on and off the mat to help me be calm and centered in difficult situations. Through these years of regular practice I’ve definitely evolved to a different person than when I started. I’m not sure if I can only credit yoga, but the practice has certainly helped me to be nowadays more grounded, more in peace with myself and more relaxed.
