NAMASTÉ.
nice to meet you.
Shari Iskandar
In her early twenties, Shari began her Yoga journey with exploring the more dynamic styles of Yoga. At that time she was the type that always expected a lot of herself, she studied Econometrics
and worked for different startup companies. The ensuing stress, compounded by familial challenges, eventually led to burnout. However, the discovery of Yin Yoga was a transformative
turning point. This gentle yet profound practice became an anchor in Shari’s healing journey, reconnecting her with her body and guiding her back to a peaceful state of mind.
Yin yoga became not only a practice, but a cornerstone of her lifestyle, initiating the spark to dive deeper into the teachings. Inspired to share this gift of healing, she embarked on the path to
become a Yin Yoga teacher. She’s continuously expanding her knowledge through immersive studies in Meditation, Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga, Reiki, Coaching, and her other passion: Traditional
Chinese Medicine. With just one year left in her Acupuncture studies, she is looking forward to the day she will open her own practice.
In the busyness of daily life, the Yang part of life, Shari is grateful for the Yin-balancing practices she has cultivated. Yoga and meditation serve as powerful and healing tools, gifts she cherishes
and loves to share with others. In her classes, she focuses on embracing the softness and surrender to the Yin qualities of life. Through easy and accessible guidance, she invites you to be
present with anything that comes up, to release what is no longer serving you, all while being gentle towards your body and mind.
Jonas Nathan
Jonas started practicing yoga in the middle of his transformation. He came from a totally different life where he was struggling with addiction and a busy lifestyle, he knew that there was more to life. He was aware that he was suffering and one day he was ready to change. Ten years ago he chose a sober life and started to practice yoga. In the beginning more yang-like yoga, but when yin yoga crossed his path he fell in love. The practice of Yin yoga gave him a path to work with body and mind. To heal old wounds, working through patterns and find harmony in his being. His life completely changed.
He has worked with many teachers, on and off the mat. In the core of his learning he finds the ‘Paul Grilley approach’ most important. Next to yin he studied different styles and philosophies like Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine with different teachers. Studying the yoga, spirituality and anatomy is an ongoing proces for him. Combining science with deeper energy work. He believes that the study and practice go hand in hand. The study can bring you to certain point and then your practice should guide you further inwards.
Jonas believes in the path of Love. In his classes he creates a warm and friendly environment. He gives you tools to unwind and connect with your inner self. With his Yin classes he gives you the time and space to bring awareness to to the areas that deserve some attention. This is different for everybody, as every person comes to the practice with different intentions and motivations. He finds that the body is a very accessible way to work on yourself and to find your way back home in your heart.
And then there was Yinergy…
Shari and Jonas crossed hearts during their first yin training. Both went through their own process at the time, as this is the reason for most people to start yoga. The love for yin yoga created a path and slowly brought them together. Practicing together and studying yin yoga and spirituality became a big part of their day to day life.
They found each other in a space were they could be themselves and stimulate each other to grow. They strongly believe that a relationship can only work when both are working on themselves. At a certain point the sun was shining and a new life was born, their daughter Uma. Setting an example how a relationship can be they decided to work together and express their love for yin yoga. This is how they gave life to Yinergy and their 200 hour yin yoga teacher training.
