'Ananda living yoga' is a personal enterprise of Isabel Schank with the goal and hope of motivating and promoting a healthy lifestyle through the multiple practices of the Yoga system in all its forms, including Pranayama breathing techniques, asana practice, and meditation as the ultimate goal to find peace of mind in everyday living. This page invites you to share a bit of an individual journey, including glimpses of practice, travel photography, ideas of food and places around the world and motivational quotes to keep up the positive thinking. Isabel is a woman, mother, traveler, photographer, writer, dreamer, landscape designer, planner, outdoor freak, child, cook, development worker, yoga practitioner, a student and a teacher, all and nothing, most of all, HUMAN! She offers Traditional Thai massage, private classical Hatha yoga, Yoga for kids and teens, Yoga Nidra, walking meditation and can share her experience of Vipassana meditation. Moreover her expanded travels and living in diverse countries all over the world in the past 10 years give her a deep cultural understanding and good sense of humor. To her yoga not only means union of body, mind and soul, but it also is a way of healing from the general suffering all our humanity is affected by in modern times. Before one wants to change the world, one needs to change oneself. Isa's vision of the world and life comes down to one quote :
SMILE at the UNITY IN DIVERSITY!
