Yoga Stories: Klara and Sigrid

In a recording made during the heady days of summer, Monica and
Matt talk to Klara and Sigrid, teacher and student at Reykjavik
Yoga in Iceland. Why Iceland? We noticed that after Brussels,
Reykjavik is the city in which we had the most listeners. So we
wanted to meet some of them!

Klara was born in the Czech Republic but has traveled the world
since then. Yoga was seeping into her life from an early age with
an interest in rocks and crystals and wondering what chakras
were... in Ireland she finally met yoga head on, at the Himalaya
Valley Yoga Centre in Cork, Ireland. Eventually she completed a
teacher training course, but it was a while before she could
confront her fear of actually teaching...

Sigrid was born in Spain. Her parents loved literature and music
and Sigrid was drawn to The Beatles and admired George Harrison,
the less prominent, spiritual Beatle. Her first introduction to
yoga was permanently "borrowing" a book from her aunt... Sigrid
studied law at University but realised that a career in
litigation was not for her. She discovered environmental law and
looked for a Masters course where she could further her studies.
She found herself in Iceland, and revelled in the freedom she
felt there, where no one judged her.

Listen to Sigrid and Klara inspire us with their stories and
remind us of the values of yoga and how regular practice can
reshape your life. As the participants were in Belgium, France,
Spain and Iceland, the sound quality may not be what you are used
to - but persevere - it's worth it!
