Sky is dedicated to living a life of yoga, and since 1991 has studied and taught several styles of yoga, always coming back to the simple and deep principles in the tradition of Hatha Yoga. Gracefully incorporating wisdom from Qi Gong, Ayurveda and Bhagavat Gita (yoga shastra) into his classes gives his delivery a certain integrity and well-rounded approach.

Sky has studied Vedanta since 2001 with Swami Vagishananda and Swami Dayananda, giving a good grounding in the purpose and practices of Yoga as a way of achieving balance, harmony and total fulfillment in this life.

His classes are always spontaneous and deeply honouring of his students.  As he says, “I’m like the milkman, I just deliver the milk, fulfilling the sacred and even unspoken orders of the students.” Taught  with relaxed passion, humor and clear understanding of the poses and their benefits, one finds his unique classes inspiring and rewarding.

Sky is the main teacher during the education and teaches about 70 % of the classes.

Sanna has dedicated her life to understanding and embodying Vedic & Yogic wisdom. She has practiced Meditation & Yoga since age 16, continuously searching for answers and self-growth. In her versatile background as an engineer, horse lover, healthcare worker, traveller and now as a mother, she has had a lot of practice in integrating and applying these tools and wisdom with modern everyday life. 12 years ago she landed in the teachings of Traditional Advaita Vedanta (non duality) and has since studied daily with her teachers Swami Vagishanandaji and Radhaji, merging the ancient teachings with today’s knowledge of psychology.

Jenny

Jenny’s spiritual journey started eight years ago in India, when she met her Yoga teacher. This was the start of a life long study of the inquiry into her real being. A few years ago, she met her Guru in Bali, whom she started studying traditional Vedanta with.
She is passionately dedicated to understanding the meaning of true happiness, and what it means to live a spiritual life. In her teaching, she assists with softness and compassion, allowing the uniqueness of every person and their process to take place. She did her first Hatha Yoga TTC in India with Atmavikasa Yoga eight years ago and has been going frequently every year to spend time with there. She has done the Sama Yoga Teacher Training, Svastha Yoga Therapy course and studied a variety of other yoga styles. She has studied Craniosacral therapy as well as Biodynamic Stillness touch.
