Your yoga teachers

Shiva

Specialized in Kundalini yoga

Daily practice and participation in countless retreats have helped me find my way more deeply into my inner center. Today, I want to share that sense of clarity and connection with you. As master yogi Bhajan said: “The key to you is you — within you lies the key to everything.”

Radha

Master of Hatha yoga

For more than 15 years, I have been teaching meditation and classical Hatha yoga in the healing Sivananda tradition here at Open Sky House. I place special emphasis on mindfulness in every movement and on a deep awareness of the body.

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” – Bhagavad Gita
