ABOUT THE TEACHER
CAROLINE PAJEFSKI
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2005 and opened Recline Yoga Studio in August 2009. My love of yoga started in 1994 when a friend and I decided to try our first class. I’ve been practicing ever since, and have been lucky enough to turn my passion into my work. It’s amazing to be part of the wonderful transformation people go through in their own yogic journey.
I started my training in South of India where I stayed for 6 months learning the art of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga. I did one-on-one training with two esteemed Indian Yogis, Santil and Ganesh, and did training from the beginners, intermediate to advanced A & B. In 2011 I did a Vinyasa training which transformed my yoga practice and rekindled the yogic flame within. 2013 Brought me to Thailand for more training, this time in Jnana Yoga where i learned what it is to be in the presence of real unconditional love and compassion, which has made me grow even more in my own yoga practice and gave me the tools to live yoga every day and grow ever closer to self-realisation.
