These stories begin here

A Million Ways To Love Yoga’ is a research project that two people started out of unconditional love for yoga. Our aim from the start was to unite passionate yogis and present their fascinating true yoga paths. These real, ordinary people tell their unique stories and we listen carefully.


Simply put, the project and book ‘A Million Ways To Love Yoga’ is about the miracles of yoga that so many people have already experienced and that we believe to be accessible for everyone! So in the end, it does not matter whether you are a beginner or whether you have lived half of your life on the yoga mat, we want to inspire you by reporting different perceptions and experiences of yoga which are simply based on the fact that people are different. The book will shed light on the contrasts of various genres of yoga, however reminding the reader (with the interviewees own words) what yoga is really all about; the things modern apps or a Nintendo Wii game will not teach you, an analysis on what yoga truly entails.

Many of the things that we feel on our yoga mat can be very hard to explain. Yet, our goal is to capture also those deepest emotions that yoga is able to evoke in us. The core of this book is about yoga-inspired living and our unique experiences on the yoga mat.  Ultimately we believe that we can show the reader that yoga is really something for everyone, and that as we are unique as individuals, so should our yoga practice be.

The project kicked-off in October 2013 when we decided to write down our own yoga paths. While writing and reading our stories to each other we noticed the multifaceted perceptions that we had of yoga! This is where we got seriously excited! We became hungry for more and started contacting other yogis. Soon it became clear that there are such fascinating stories to be told about yoga that we could not even have dreamt about!  


Right from the start, the passion for yoga we both share has been like a strong wind under our wings. It also seems like the people we meet take notice of this passion and want to take part in this inspiring project.


So whether you have already discovered the joys of yoga or still need some persuasion and guidance in finding your path, the book and the blog of ‘A Million Ways To Love Yoga’ is for you.


The holy grail of yoga is soon at your fingertips... ;) However, remember that the journey is the goal SO STAY TUNED!
