Behind azure ananda
Hey there,
Behind Azure Ananda you find me, Hanne. Yogi, Aerial acrobat, and someone who truly is enjoying life as it is. My road as a yoga teacher and wellness coach up until this point hasn’t certainly been straight forward. Almost six years, I was combining my job in customer service with my career as a coach, trying to find a balance between these two, wondering what it is that I really want to do.
During summer 2018, I finally quit my job in customer service, and two weeks after that, I was teaching yoga in Indonesia. I was supposed to stay there for eight months; however, I did stay for one. Let’s say that life happened. And it led me eventually to India at the end of 2018, where I have found my home.
As said, the road and my journey in this field haven’t been that straight forward. However, every event that has happened has made me realize that this is my dream job. And I am beyond grateful to be here and do this.
My Yoga Path
My path in yoga first started in 2005, when I started practicing Ashtanga yoga. I practiced yoga for two years, but then my focus turned more strongly into something else, and yoga was left behind. Luckily yoga came back into my life in 2015 when I first returned to my practice and soon knew I want to become a yoga teacher.
I completed my 200 hours of yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, 2016, followed by Aerial yoga teacher training later the same year and Yin yoga teacher training in the year 2018.
As a yoga teacher and wellness coach, I aim to encourage students to be firmly gentle to themselves. To be brave and to listen to their own body and do the practice on that basis. My only hope that the yoga mat can be a happy place for everyone who steps onto one. Or, if talking about other types of practice, I find it essential that it is something truly enjoyable.
Thank You
Thank you for being part of my journey here; whether you already have been part of it before or just joining in, I am happy we can share these precious moments.
Love and Light,
Hanne
