Hannah Rzysko
As a teenager:
“I felt overwhelmed, directionless and lost a lot of the time. My mum had struggled with periods of severe anxiety whilst I was growing up, so in secondary school when I began to experience this myself, I had no tools to deal with it. In an attempt to numb, control and cope, I took diet pills, drugs and drink from an early age. I didn’t know I was doing this to cope though, I just thought that was who I was. It wasn’t until I turned 20 and attended my first yoga class whilst travelling around India that I began gaining tools to feel calm, clear, grounded, comfortable in my skin ... I had no idea why though and wanted to find out! From that day on I have not stopped studying, training and learning about yoga, yoga therapy, meditation and mindfulness. I am so passionate about sharing these incredible, accessible tools and knowledge with everyone, no matter their age, condition or background.'“
Hannah likes supporting people by sharing yoga that responds to their unique needs, is useful to everyday life and brings them into balance. Since initially training as a yoga teacher in 2013, she has been committed to study & training in order to create safe, welcoming and supportive space for anyone to explore & benefit from yoga – no matter their needs, condition or background. She has spent as much time in a yoga studio as she has in care homes, mental health hospitals, dementia wards, children’s centres & special needs services. After 5 years sharing yoga in this way, she completed her 550 hours certification to become a Yoga Therapist. She is currently training to be a Holistic Life Coach - this training is enriching her Yoga Therapy support and will be an additional service she will be sharing in the near future - so watch this space!
