My name is Per Hoglund, I am 40 years old and come
originally from Sweden.
My love and passion for nature and our environment
led me to work as an organic farmer for 6 beautiful
(and hard) years.
and for 2 years I studied anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology.
At this point I had also begun pursuing my path as a yoga teacher with a 2-year
apprenticeship with an established yoga teacher in my hometown in Sweden.
I later undertook an official
teacher training course and
received my diploma from
Manju Jois, son of Pattabhi Jois
(founder of Astanga Yoga)
who also invited and facilitated
for me to work in New York.
When life presented this opportunity I realized that I had come to a crossroad.
I had to choose between two paths - traditional medicine or teaching yoga.
I chose to devote myself to the path of teaching yoga.
Since I started teaching 10 years ago I have had the pleasure of meeting
and working
with students from many different backgrounds
- ranging from children to pensioners and from bankers to inmates in a
prison.
It has been a very rewarding journey so far and I look forward to many more years to come.
Teaching yoga also led me to move
from Sweden and I have had the
opportunity to visit and live in
many beautiful places in our world.
