A note from the Founders,
Welcome to our Yogis and Yoginis World! As we have experienced that “all life is yoga” we can’t resist introducing you to our family; as they are also the co-founders of 5 Bodies Yoga! Our children are our daily teachers, students, inspiration, challenge and joy in the yogi way of life we have chosen. Our sons have grown up living at some of the greatest Yoga communities scattered all over the world and as a consequence, they may not have roots, but they have wings and know they can fly.
In the last 20 years I have been increasingly more aware of my vocation as a Yoga Teacher and Therapist. Since a young age I knew that I wanted to impact people’s lives not only in a conventional day to day manner, but on a much deeper level. I wanted to give a service in this world towards something that made a difference, so I was inspired to become a School Teacher. I taught in International Schools for a period of 10 years, and as ‘all life is Yoga’ I both received and shared great life lessons as a class teacher. Throughout this period I was practicing Yoga, but felt that only practicing Yoga as a hobbie was not what I was called to do, and in fact I was called to give my whole life to it. I had to live, breath and teach it! I felt I had finally found my ultimate vocation and ideal way of life.
Yoga touches people at so many different levels of consciousness, spirituality and wellbeing. It is the cure for all our physical, mental and emotional sadness, frustrations and dramas. Transformational Yoga brings you physical health, emotional balance, mental and spiritual clarity. Experience it for yourself!
We hope to meet you in person very soon. Our very best wishes and blessings,
Elise & Paul
