Jonas Pitzke with Sharon Gannon

JONAS PINZKE

Jonas Pinzke has been practicing yoga for nearly seven years and since 2007 he is teaching and sharing his love of yoga at several places in his hometown of Stockholm.

He did his first teacher training in 2007 and is a certified Yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance. In May 2008 he also completed the rigorous, month-long Jivamukti teacher training with founders Sharon Gannon and David Life and became a certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher.

For Jonas yoga is about both feeling good and doing good. It is also about opening up, and becoming both more conscious and more mindful. He very much feels that yoga has opened his heart, making him more loving and compassionate and that it constantly helps him find a balance between joy and sincerity; where joy represents spontaneity, openness and pleasure and sincerity symbolize focus, dedication and serenity.

Jonas classes are honest, thought-provoking and challenging and always set to a carefully selected musical mix, which often include Sanskrit chants that he plays on his classical harmonium. With his teachings he wants to convey and transmit both the knowledge and joy yoga has given him in his life and hope that students leave both a little more open and balanced.

Jonas would like to thank his dear teachers David-ji and Sharon-ji for their love and great wisdom.
