Martina’s yoga journey ….when the student is ready the teacher appears… Martina has practised yoga for close to 30 years and been teaching for 25. These days her personal practice is solely in the Shadow Yoga method developed by Shandor Remete. Martina began exploring Shadow Yoga over 7 years ago. She practises regularly with Shandor & Emma Balnaves (Shandor’s wife, director and co-founder of Shadow Yoga Method). Since June 2018, Martina has begun introducing the Shadow Yoga practice to students. In Auckland she teaches regular weekly public yoga classes, offers private tuition and hosts workshops. Always a student… Shadow Yoga At the end of 2013 I attended a Christmas Class for Auckland Yoga Teachers, put on by Katie Carter at the Yoga Ground. It was taught by Natalie Smith and based on the Shadow Yoga system created by Shandor Remete. I loved it and it highlighted some areas that were missing in my practice at the time. The following Easter I attended a workshop with Shandor in Auckland, and was mesmerised, listening to Shandor seemed to be like sitting at the feet of a Guru. I only understood half of what he was talking about yet it had the ring of truth & wisdom to it, this ignited a spark in me to learn more.
