Bio:

I found yoga after years in tourism, marketing, dance and music. Living abroad for a long while I had the opportunity to study with leading Iyengar yoga teachers in Europe and the USA creating a strong bond between yoga and myself. I started the exploration of the Iyengar method in the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Maida Vale, London in 2002, followed by further tuition in Dublin where I also got certified in 2006 and later in the Institute of New York City. I feel privileged for having the chance of taking workshops with insightful and inspiring teachers including Guruji, BKS Iyengar himself at the Yoga Journal Conference, Estes Park, Colorado in 2005. My present teachers are my husband, Kevin Gardiner (USA) and Sheila Haswell (UK). I have been a number of times to the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India where I’m returning regularly. I have been teaching in Hungary and some other European countries since 2005, I've been involved in teacher training programs in Budapest and Slovenia since 2008 and assessed extensively in Europe. I also served as the founding chair of the Iyengar Yoga Association of Hungary for some 9 years.
