VICTORIA LORANDI

I started my journey a long time ago when I was diagnosed with a slipped disc in my lower back. After some years of practice I decided to do my first 200hs YTT for self practice. I remember my teacher told me: Yoga is a journey, and this is your first step. I have never thought about teaching till I finish my training. At that moment I was living in my home country, Argentina and working full time as a Financial Account Manager (I know, so different!) I had the opportunity to create my own studio at home and every evening after work I was teaching yoga. I still remember my first class, I was feeling so inspired! After some years of teaching I realised Yoga was the path I wanted to follow. I quit my 9-5 hours job and went to Australia with the idea to do a teacher training there and make some money to be able to come back with knowledge and invest in my new studio back home. I went to practice to Power Living for that whole year, learning from amazing teachers. But, as I wanted to learn Yoga from it roots, I decided to travel to India and complete another 200hs YTT in Rishikesh. Living in an Ashram fully immersed in the practice and culture. When I went back home to make my dream true, my heart was asking me to continue travelling! So I decided to come to New Zealand, in 2019. As I wanted to stay in New Zealand for more than a year I came back to a 9-5 hours job. But knowing my purpose, I continued learning and teaching classes during the week. I became super interested in Yin Yoga after my first experience in Australia and did a 50hs training with one of my favourites teachers Travis Eliot from EEUU and another one of 100hs with Yin Culture here in New Zealand. A beautiful experience that I will always remember. After getting my residency I was finally free to come back to my dream! I moved to Christchurch and decided to become a full time yoga teacher to share the medicine of Yoga with all of you. ​
