Sandra Kirchner and Leo Peppas have over thirty years yoga teaching experience between them. They are both qualified Yoga teachers. Having originally studied the Iyengar Yoga method, they have over the years integrated an understanding of body awareness and movement principles into their teaching and developed a comprehensive approach of their own.
Their belief that yoga can present a clear link to the path of self discovery and provide support in everyday life is core to their teaching method. Sandra and Leo have both worked with and drawn inspiration from Donna Farhi and teach a form of yoga that seeks to return to the original spirit of yoga.

“Leo and Sandra offer a depth and breadth of experience rare in Yoga teachers today. Their commitment to honoring the spirit of Yoga while integrating contemporary knowledge in the field of somatics makes for potent instruction. Yoga students interested in engaging in authentic practice and study have a precious opportunity in these two gifted teachers.
-Donna Farhi, author of “Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit” and “Bringing Yoga to Life.”

Leo is a qualified movement therapist (Body Mind Centering) and Psychosynthesis therapist. Sandra graduated as a dancer / choreographer from the State Academy for Arts in Amsterdam, where she has taught yoga for dancers. They are both currently studying Rolfing Movement with Hubert Godard.

Viktoria Kocsis is a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher. For the last five years she has been studying yoga with Sandra and Leo and has been teaching at yogayoga for three years.
She practiced Hatha Yoga and contemporary dance in Hungary, as well as a combined style of yoga and dance. Viktoria is originally an economist and has eight years teaching experience in other fields.

Kamini Stam completed three years of Critical Alignment Yoga teacher training at the Bharata Institute in Amsterdam in 2009. She continues to study with Donna Farhi, having most recently participated in the intensive teacher training in New Zealand. At the moment she takes part in the Somatic Yoga Training with Leo Peppas to keep an open and ever refreshing view on yoga, and to deepen and help integrate her knowledge. What inspires her most in teaching, is assisting the student to develop an insight in the possibilities of their body and to stimulate them to search for their threshold within those personal possibilities. Since ten years Kamini gives massages that are mainly based on Shiatsu, Ayurveda and Haptonomy.
