Hi, my name is Aiste!
If I asked people I know to describe me, they probably would say "she's active, outdoorsy, likes all things movement, loves anatomy, student for life".
While all of the above is true I have a better understanding of how the body moves now compared to when I was younger and spent a lot of time in the gym, running marathons etc......And never STRETCHED my muscles.
Eventually my body started telling me "something needs to change".
My back was achy, hips where so tight that I couldn't squat with proper form, sitting crossed leg wasn't comfortable at all, had limited range of motion in my shoulders. And the biggest obstacle of all was my limiting belief, that if I stretch, I will loose my strength, silly right? Couldn't be further from the truth.
So 2020 I began practicing yoga, hoping to get more flexible.
Very soon I discovered, that Yoga is so much more than stretching. It's an ancient practice with deep philosophy roots. It helped me in more ways than one. I was feeling less stressed out and reactive to "little things in life". It helped me to develop body awareness: ability to sense what is happening in my body when I move or stay still, helped me regulate stress and anxiety through controlled breathing exercises. Benefits of this wonderful practice are Endless.
And let me tell you, one yoga class can change your day for the better.
2021 I got my 200Hr Yoga Teacher Certification, started teaching classes to my lovely community.
Although yoga asana practice helped me to get more flexible, I was still looking for more effective and efficient way to gain more flexibility and mobility in my body. I Did a lot of self study through books and workshops, got certified in Science of stretching coaching program, through YOGABODY, and applied all that in my own practice.
MY MISSION IS FOR YOU TO REALISE HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO MOVE FREELY.
