YOGAYoga practice brings about maximum toning of the entire body, developing strength and flexibility, a lean physique, improving skeletal alignment and increasing stamina, but requires effort and discipline, without which there is no benefit. True asana, when becoming perfected then is ‘effortless’ effort in body and mind. Marisol Kucharek BA (SOAS); MScMarisol began her practice of ‘living yoga’ on the Pacific Ocean of The Galápagos Islands of Ecuador in 1994 where she taught herself Astanga Yoga for two years, and also began to enquire into the Nature of Mind. However, her enquiry unresolved, she finally left Galápagos, wonderfully magical and harmonious thought it was, for India, looking for teachers who might guide her towards answers. In Goa Marisol practiced Astanga Yoga intensively with Derek Ireland for a month, before a four-month sojourn in Mysore where she studied with the Astanga Guru Sri K Pattabhi Jois. Further to that she lived for 5 months in Crete, working in exchange for yoga at The Practice Place (presently ‘Yoga Plus’), and 6 months in Israel where she began informally to teach Astanga Yoga, before returning to England in 1997. Marisol took a six-week Yoga Teacher Training “taster” course later in 1997 at the prestigious ‘Yoga Works’ yoga studio in Santa Monica California. There she was fortunate to experience the teaching of some of the world’s most famous and experience the teaching of some of the word’s most famous and experienced Astanga and Iyengar Yoga teachers, including Maty Ezraty, Chuck Miller, Shiva Rea, Lisa Walford, Erich Schiffman, Rodney Yee and Bryan Kest. She has also participated as a student at workshops with Richard Freeman, David Swenson, David Williams (from USA), Dena Kingsberg and Graeme Northfield (from Australia), dynamic yoga with Clive Sheridan (in India & UK), and most recently with New Zealander, Donna Farhi.
