Szymon Wójcik
I've been practicing yoga since January of 2013. I remember suffering through my first few classes as I had no idea what I was doing, having no yoga background at all. I came to my first class with Szymon a few weeks after another student recommended his class. She said it was fun, enlightening and that his class would help me understand each of the basic poses. A few months practicing under Szymon's guidance, I understood what yoga really is. He always reminds me that yoga is more than just a physical practice, it's an infusion of awareness throughout the entire body and mind.
Szymon teaches intelligent yoga. Movement with intelligence. Knowing when to push and challenge a student and also knows when to stop, be aware, respect and listen to the body. He helped me transform my practice from a "flying chicken" to an intelligent chicken.. lol 7 months into practicing with him, I learned how to bring awareness, sensitivity and responsiveness in both body and mind.
Szymon observes, provides attention to all students in class, adjusts poses to better alignment to avoid injury and asks each of us to pay close attention to what we're doing and not just do the pose as it defeats the idea of what yoga really is.
