About Our Founder
My yoga story
Hello! My name is Tsveti Beckers and I am the founder and lead teacher at Authentic Yoga. My journey with yoga began over 15 years ago - a journey enriched by the wisdom of many inspiring teachers - and it has profoundly shaped who I am today. Yoga has been my anchor and my wings.
I have experienced the benefits of yoga and am passionate about sharing yoga with others, so they too can discover its invigorating effect and grounding presence. As a yoga teacher I have trained with the Siddhi Yoga International School (Rishikesh and Singapore) and I am certified by the Yoga Alliance in hatha and vinyasa yoga.
In my own practice, I am also a yoga student like you. I enjoy taking a variety of classes and I'm always working on some skill. There's always plenty left to learn, which I love about yoga. This ongoing exploration of yoga deeply informs my teaching philosophy, which I've named Authentic Yoga.
What is "authentic" yoga?
What do we mean by "authentic" yoga? And how is it different, or is it - different - to others?
For my own teaching I choose to draw upon the traditional foundations of yoga, i.e. hatha yoga. I place a strong emphasis on:
-
Mindful movement - developing full awareness and concentration (dharana) in deep connection with the breath
-
Integrating breathwork (pranayama) and meditation (dyana) into the physical poses (asana) practice
-
Maximising the beneficial effects of poses and minimising risk of injury through:
-
Correct alignment and muscle activation (isometrics, or static muscle contraction) in each pose
-
Correct sequencing of poses
-
Correct timing - allowing sufficient time in challenging poses, including in vinyasa (flow), to develop the necessary strength, flexibility and stamina for continuous progress
-
-
Appropriate options and adjustments to honour each student's body and their needs
I would love to meet you and pass on the ancient wisdom transferred to me by other teachers - to whom I am eternally grateful - to guide you on your own yoga journey to the best of my abilities.
I invite you to join me on the mat and experience the authentic practice of yoga!
