We came together after many years of teaching yoga in different countries. Our combined teaching was held together by a similar worldview and the common concept that asana practice, breath and meditation should celebrate the physical, as well the emotional and spiritual aspects.
For us, teaching together is an unplanned ‘duet’ where we open a unique discussion and practice to evolve in the moment as inspiration or questions from the class arise.
Each workshop becomes a living exploration, shaped by the energy of the group and the wisdom that flows through honest, caring inquiry. Our approach invites our students to look inward, to embrace their own curiosity, and to discover yoga as an intimate, ever-changing journey rather than a fixed discipline.

Being with The Garden of Earthly Delights
Victor would like to share a three-part video conversation with with friend and student Blake Tedder about 16th century painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch. Where other commentaries on this incredible painting refer to the stunning detail and premonitory themes, Victor approaches the painting largely through the lens of inner transformation. Victor and Blake explore this painting in-depth and touch on the Bosch’s method and style and the more straightforward social commentary on display, but they also chat about what the artist may have been communicating about our internal world and process.
