Claudia Steinhauser After having studied with various certified Ashtanga Yoga Teachers in the UK, Claudia attended a workshop of Godfrey Devereux in Spring London 2003. She liked his method combining Ashtanga, Viniyoga and Iyengar so much that she decided to apply for his foundation course and teacher-training course in Autumn 2003. After the course, her adventure took her to Asia where she stayed off and again for the next two years. India moved her and especially in her first 6 months, she took a rocky ride on the Ganga experiencing moments between extreme madness, happiness, love and deep sadness. Leaving the Ganga behind, she learned to appreciate restorative classes of Arun, a Senior Iyengar Teacher in Bangalore and gave yoga lessons to children in a local NGO.

Second time back in India was a different experience and although she enjoyed being back in India, she felt she was not in the right place, she did another 3 months intensive yoga teacher training course with another excellent teacher, Karin O´Bannon (Senior Iyengar Teacher, Intermediate Level 3) in the Parmath Niketan which included Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy, and Yoga Nidra with Matagi. This course made her feel ready to go out and teach. The next three months were spent in Thailand giving yoga classes on Ko Tao and studying and enjoying Thai Yoga Massage in Chiang Mai.

Her own classes are a combination of a Dynamic Vinyasa Flow but she also offers the restorative and therapeutic approach the Iyengar method has taught her to appreciate. Well, she tries to teach yoga or let yoga be taught. Since 2005 she lives in Southern Spain, where she organises yoga classes, workshops and retreats. She is also an active member of the association Vida Plena (alternative treatment for former drug addicts) giving yoga classes, Thai massage and coordinating the proyect in the community of Proyecto Hombre.

Thanks to all my teachers, Petra and Becky for having been my first teachers and friends in London, John Scott for having inspired me especially in the first workshop I attended to take yoga more serious, Godfrey for having given me a direction and go deeper, India for teaching me to observe me more closely and not too take life too serious, Karin for pushing me to action, Arun in Bangalore for having relaxed my forehead and the children of Samarthanam for having given me so much love!!

Karin O'Bannon is a certified Senior Intermediate level Iyengar instructor who has over 28 years of teaching experience. She has studied in Pune, India with the Iyengars on numerous occasions, and is a past president of the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States (IYNAUS).
