The teacher

Christian Möllenhoff is the main teacher of Yoga et Méditation Paris. He has practised yoga for more than ten years and taught professionally since 2002. He has completed a traditional 6 year full time education under the guidance of Swami Janakananda Saraswati.

 

It began in 1999 when Christian came upon Swami Janakananda’s yoga book in a Swedish library. At the age of 23, after some years of practise, he decided to leave his studies in international business administration and devote himself entirely to yoga. Accepted by Swami Janakananda as a disciple, he spent five years under his guidance at Håå course centre in Sweden.  Here he deepened his practice and received a traditional training.

The training included long periods of intense practice and retreat. Above all it involved the implementation of these practices in every day work and participation in the management of the centre. In this way Christian gradually discovered that yoga is not just a series of exercises or a body of knowledge to be learnt by heart, but a way to approach life and to discover its subtle dimensions in the activity of daily life.

Christian also lived and taught in a Copenhagen city ashram for several years, and having been asked by his students, decided to establish his own centre, Yoga et Méditation Paris.
