We are more than happy to announce Carmen Droege as our new guest teacher. She will take over the Mysore program for the next two months until 7th of September!
„I am Carmen Silvia Droege, I was born and raised in Germany to my German mother and Brazilian father. I studied law and worked as a company lawyer for 12 years while always doing my Ashtanga Yoga practice. It was nothing less then love at first sight, from my side.
I started practicing Yoga in 2008 and straight away attended a 300h teacher training in Cologne at the institute for Yoga & Gesundheit IYGK. I topped it off with a 40h teacher training by David Swenson and then practiced with Beatte Guttandin in Cologne (formerly KPJAYI authorized) until 2013. I also studied with Prem (KPJAYI certified) & Radha (KPJAYI authorised) in Bali for two months. And in 2014 I went to Goa for 7 months to learn from Rolf Naujokat (KPJAYI certified) and Marcy Naujokat because I was keen on being with an advanced practitioner and native German speaking Yoga practitioner. While being in Goa I decided to also stay and practice with Gabriela Pascoli (KPJAYI authorized) for one month. After this intense period of traveling I came back to Germany, got married to my then husband and moved to the Netherlands. I also went to workshops with Manju Jois, David Williams and Danny Paradise but in 2016 I decided to start going to Mysore to practice with Sharath Jois and he has been my teacher ever since. I got his blessing to teach during my trip from July to September 2022.
I’m teaching Ashtanga Yoga since 2014. I taught at Cens Yogastudio in Roermond, and ran a Mysore Program in 2016 at Yoga Place in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Last but not least I taught two years at the Ayurveda Paragon in Thalpe, Sri Lanka.“
