My first encounter with yoga was many years ago, and to be honest, it wasn’t the experience I had hoped for. After just two sessions, I felt disconnected and unsure of how yoga could benefit me. It seemed more like a fleeting trend than a practice that could bring real value to my life, so I didn’t return to it although I was initially ambitious and had signed up for one term.
My misconception about yoga changed when I met Jori. She introduced me to my yoga journey in a way that felt natural and inspiring. From the very first session, I knew this time would be different. Jori’s approach to teaching is incredibly gentle and soulful. She creates a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere that makes each class feel like a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Her style is unique—she leads you to connect with your body and mind in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Jori’s warmth and wisdom opened a door for me, not just to yoga, but to a new way of living. I found myself looking forward to each session, eager to experience the calm and clarity that her classes brought. It wasn’t long before yoga became an essential part of my life, something I integrated into my daily routine with joy and gratitude.
A few months after starting my journey with Jori, I took a trip to Bali to deepen my understanding of yoga. This experience brought me to the next level, expanding my practice beyond the physical aspects and into the spiritual realm. I understood how yoga is not just about the poses or the movements; it’s a way of connecting with my heart on a deeper level.
Now, whenever the physical world feels overwhelming, I find solace on my yoga mat. It’s where I recharge, reenergise, and reconnect with my inner self. Yoga has become more than just a practice—it’s a vital part of who I am, and I have Jori to thank for guiding me to this path.
I continue to pursue my passion for yoga with enthusiasm and dedication. My journey is ongoing, and I look forward to exploring where it will take me next.
