Wie kan Yoga beoefenen?
Het mooie van Yoga is dat het geschikt is voor iedereen. Ongeacht geslacht, leeftijd, lenigheid en conditie. Er zijn mensen die denken dat zij geen Yoga kunnen doen omdat hun lichaam “te stijf” is. Dit zijn JUIST de mensen die met Yoga moeten beginnen!
Ankan Kumar
Ankan Kumar is een Yoga Master uit Kolkata, India. Hij is gediplomeerd aan het beroemde Yoga instituut van de Kaivalyadhama University in Poona, India. Master Ankan heeft uitgebreide Yogaonderwijs-ervaring in India, Singapore en Nederland opgedaan. Hij doceert het traditionele Indiase Yoga systeem waarbij hij de focus legt op zowel lichamelijke als geestelijke zeggenschap over jezelf. Master Ankan vertelt over het vervolg op zijn eigen Yogatocht die begon in zijn jeugd: “Als kind had ik veel gezondheidsproblemen en nadat ik op 17-jarige leeftijd met Yoga was begonnen verdwenen ze allemaal. Hierdoor raakte ik erg gefascineerd door Yoga. Ik kreeg de kans om gedurende mijn universiteitsperiode een workshop aan het Yoga institute SVYASA (Swami Vivekanananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) in Bangalore te verzorgen. Daar leerde ik dat Yoga niet alleen oefening is maar ook een levenswijze. Nadat ik mijn Universitaire opleiding had afgerond ging ik naar de Kaivalyadhama Yoga Universiteit om mijn begrip van het totale Yoga systeem te vergroten. Vanaf dat moment besloot ik om het Yogaonderwijs en de voordelen daarvan te verspreiden onder Yogabeoefenaars.
Pieter van der Putten
My name is Pieter van der Putten. I practice yoga for many years now. First I was attracted to the challenging physical aspect of yoga. But I found out that yoga is more than just a physical activity. It has also a meditative face. Yoga can also be valuable in daily life. Throughout the years I did courses, workshops and retreats with several teachers. I learned something new from everybody and got acquainted with different types of yoga. Bit by bit, yoga became a lifestyle to me. It founded the base of my existence on which I can rely in every situation. It gives me power from within, makes me curious to everything that surrounds me. I’m not afraid to approach new challenges. I keep the good and let go of the bad things. It’s a path to my own inner values. I would like to pass my knowledge to other people and help them to find their own path.
