Imagine a style of yoga that allows you to be who you are, feel like you and move how it feels good for you. A style of yoga that has self care at its core, allowing you to move in a way that is just right for your body, your mood, your mobility. This is Strala.
I happened upon Strala Yoga in 2013, in the search for a new yoga class, when I moved with my family to Paris. I found an inclusive, welcoming community and a style of movement that felt intuitive and allowed me to follow my breath, soften in my body and find happiness and ease on the mat and in life.
Strala is a style that was created in response to the exclusivity of yoga, where the focus is on perfecting the visual aspect of a pose, the use of Sanskrit and chanting, and a number of yoga gurus with massive egos. Personally, as soon as I see evidence of an inflated ego in a yoga teacher, I never come back. In Strala, teachers are called guides; there is no hierarchy. We all practice together. Instead of a lineage, which idolises a leader, we are inspired by each other and the wisdom of natural movement.
Strala combines the movement and healing wisdom of yoga, tai chi, qigong, and embodies the wisdom of Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, to help people dissolve stress, move easily through challenge, and live radiantly inspiring lives.
Another thing that is special about Strala is that it is truly global. Training takes place all over the world. So this means that you can find a guide who speaks your language and discover a Strala community wherever you are in the world.
