Welcome to Episode #22 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Amina onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Switzerland, who teaches yoga in Switzerland and abroad! She hosts yoga retreats and classes in Italy, Morocco, Spain, and more. She’s a dedicated Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioner, who has spent extensive amount of times studying in Mysore, India. My conversation with Amina Luc was so much fun, she is so filled with light and laughter and it comes through every minute of our time together. I hope that this conversation gave you a deeper look into yoga in India compared to yoga in the West, specifically in Europe. We talked about the discipline and devotion of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, and about inner transformation, and teachers being everywhere. If you’re looking to tune into a podcast that is illuminates the path of yoga as a lifestyle with devotion and the heart of it all, then this is the conversation for you. Yoga in Switzerland— away we om! Tell me more about Amina Luc… At a young age, Amina Luc began classical dance training at the Friborg Conservatory. Several years later, she discovered Hatha Yoga, and eventually found herself in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga – the style to which she now devotes herself. She has completed over 600 hours of training, Amina travels to India regularly, returning to Mysore each year to practice under her masters Vijay and Vinay Kumar. Amina is also a Reiki Master and a full-time yoga teacher in Switzerland. What to expect in the Yoga In Switzerland episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Amina Luc feels like an old friend. She has a bright and beautiful soul, and so much devotion to the path of yoga. She’s taken multiple trips to India to study under her teachers in Mysore, and actually spent 15 months in India during the pandemic! She firmly believes that yoga is a way of living, it’s not just some philosophy to talk about and ponder on. She has a solid, dedicated daily sadhana practice and also tunes in to the needs of her body and being, and adjusts her practice accordingly. In our conversation in the Yoga in Switzerland podcast episode, Amina and I talk about what about Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga resonates so profoundly with Amina, what her daily sadhana looks like, the most inspirational moment she’s experienced as a teacher, and her personal definition of yoga as well! We even talk about how yoga and surfing is similar— both are passions of Aminas. Tune in to hear all about Amina’s beautiful journey. For the skimmers - What’s in the Switzerland episode?
