"I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have ran into AYP and to have Linda and Gérald in my life. My practice became so enriched, so intelligent and so enjoyable! Here I learned to not blindly follow the "Ashtanga rules", but to question everything, to understand the anatomical sense of the poses and to adapt accordingly."
