Ulrica Seiler was born on November 7th, 1971, in the region of Engadin in Switzerland. She is a certified yoga teacher and a doctor of Traditional Chinese/Oriental Medicine. Ulrica received her first yoga instruction in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal.Upon her return to Switzerland, she continued her yoga studies and, after 4 years, received certification as a yoga teacher from the Swiss Yoga Association in 2001.In the following years, Ulrica continued her training in the US, India, and England and was awarded the Inspired Anusara Yoga Teacher in New York.In India, Ulrica also studied Ayurveda, focusing on massage and nutrition science. Finally, in 2003, she embarked on becoming a licensed doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Switzerland.Four years later, she graduated in the 5 pillars (Acupuncture, Herbology, Tuina massage, Qi Gong, and Nutritional Science).In all her work, Ulrica blends her knowledge and experience of TCM with her intuitive skills and her natural sensibility.Her style of yoga: "My teaching is deeply rooted in the traditional yoga practices of asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation, where my yoga style is largely influenced by Anusara yoga, a modern style of classical Hatha yoga.To perform the precise universal alignment principles in Anusara yoga (universal principles of alignment) with increasing elegance and ease of use, I feel always as a source of inspiration and happy!And also as an invitation to express our personal and unique quality of heart and soul in an asana posture. A wonderful way to connect with our origins.Anusara is based on a Tantric philosophy: it is the experience of the power of the unit under everything and everyone.The creative freedom and individuality are emphasized and promoted through the effort to see the good in people and in all things.For me, it is a big concern and focus to use therapeutic approaches in my teaching.Yoga works on the nervous system, the breathing, the muscles, and the endocrine system.By practicing the asanas, the strength and flexibility, and also inner peace and stability are promoted. Blockages on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels can be solved.We humans practice more or less our natural joy of movement, together with our curiosity for the discovery of human existence.This is the central theme of yoga: to incorporate the profound insights and practices of yoga into everyday life.With the asanas, we can rediscover the joy of the body and the breath, and this allows access to deeper layers of yoga.This is a wonderful way to tune more and more finely our lives in our inner being and to live out of our essence.With great joy, deep respect and gratitude towards my teachers, I share my knowledge and experience with people who travel from near and far.Om...
