MiRJA NISSEN
Mirja is a certified Iyengar™ Yoga teacher (Junior Intermediate 2). She found yoga on her first trip to India in 2002 and began teaching in 2011.
Mirja’s teaching is truthful, creative and intelligent. Her daily practice of asana, meditation, pranayama and mantra chanting and her deep trust in the transformative power of yoga enable her to teach from the heart. Mirja teaches with precision and lightness, dedication and humour, encouraging students to explore yoga as a way to enhance awareness and understanding, and to find more freedom, ease, strength and balance in body & mind.
Mirja believes that to be a good teacher, you must continue to be a good student, practise consistently with an open heart, and keep learning from your teachers, your students and yourself.
Outside of yoga, Mirja holds an MA in Linguistics and Modern Languages and works as a self-employed conference interpreter and translator.
