About Simon KrohnAs the first yoga teacher in Denmark I was registered as 'E-ryt 500', which is the highest teachers level in Yoga Alliance (the worlds biggest yoga organisation). I have taught yoga classes and workshops internationally, and have arranged and taught retreats. Taught both asana, meditation, pranayama and yoga philosophy at five teachers training courses, and I helped to start up a yoga studio in New Zealand.
I started practicing yoga in Copenhagen in 1996. The first couple of years I mainly practiced meditation, which I still acknowledge as an essential part of my practice. I have studied yoga for ten months in India, six months in the US and nine months full-time teacher training at Yoga Arts in Australia.
In addition to my yoga training I have studied body therapy for about one and a half years at the School of Psychosomatic in Denmark.
Academically I hold an MA in Philosophy from the University of Copenhagen. In my studies I focused primarily on Indian philosophy, studying both Hindu and Buddhist thought. As a part of these studies I spent a year at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi in India. I wrote my masters thesis on the question of free will in relation to the classical yoga of Patanjali.
In 2007 I started the company MindYourself where I offer courses on mindfulness to the corporate world. It has been hard but thrilling work and it is going really well. Check it out on:
