The Lendorf-based instructor, Daniela Pulido Rodriguez, has completed a 200-hour certification from the International Yoga Alliance. She continually deepens her knowledge by training in various yoga styles such as Yin Yoga, pre- and postnatal yoga, pelvic floor training, and residual orga yoga. “It is important to me to deepen my knowledge. So I can offer my participants the best possible accompaniment,” Daniela states.

Regular yoga practice under Daniela’s guidance is open to both beginners and advanced practitioners. She adapts each lesson to the group’s needs, ensuring everyone can participate according to their abilities.

In addition to regular classes, Daniela offers specialized groups to cater to different needs and stages of life. She leads yoga classes for pregnant women at the Gravidarium Spittal and Yoga 60+ at the Spittal therapy center. While she’s not currently planning children’s yoga classes, she keeps an open mind to future developments.

Yoga, under Daniela’s guidance, offers numerous physical and mental benefits. Physically, it strengthens muscles, improves posture and mobility, and promotes balance and coordination. Mentally, it calms the nervous system, increases mindfulness, and promotes emotional resilience. Yoga can also aid in managing back or neck complaints.

To feel the effects of yoga, Daniela recommends practicing 2-3 times a week. However, even a few minutes daily can make a difference. For time-strapped individuals, she suggests incorporating favorite poses into daily routines, conscious breathing exercises, or brief movement breaks.

For Daniela, yoga is a holistic practice that adapts to her needs. “Sometimes I need peace and ground, sometimes energy and clarity. Yoga gives me exactly what is important at the moment.” The demand for yoga continues to grow, with many seeking balance and a calmer pace of life. Daniela views online classes as supplements but prefers in-person lessons for the personal connection they offer.
