Michael Cordel grew up with plenty of freedom to lead an active life. After some injuries sport took the back burner since every attempt at returning to sports ended in recurring injuries.
Practising yoga now in his early sixties is proving to be the way forward to perform beyond the restrictions of the old injuries.

His love for nature supports his interest in helping others rediscover their connection to Yoga and the Earth. Practising Yoga outdoors is especially useful to centre us, to anchor our mind and bring space into ourselves.

For over 3 decades, Michael has practised oriental acupuncture with the aim of supporting clients to heal in a natural and holistic way - you can read more at www.cordel-acupuncture.com. He gained a deep appreciation of the individuality of our lives and for the past 7 years, he offers yoga classes in a caring, supportive manner, encouraging the individual to achieve longevity goals.

Together with his partner, Kari van Eden, they aim to bring mindfulness, fitness and joy to anyone, looking to improve their well-being and expand their lives through the practice of Yoga & Meditation.

Yoga has and is a fascinating journey of discovery, letting go and healing for Kari. She has first hand experience of transforming difficult situations in her life with the power of simply practicing yoga regularly and reaping the benefits of balance, equanimity, flexibility & strength in body and mind. These changes & qualities have positively influenced her family and friends who encouraged her to train as a yoga teacher.

Now Kari uses her 27 years of yoga experience to guide her yoga students to regain their connection with themselves, increase flexibility, strength and to find their physical and inner peace. She presents her classes in a fun, relaxed way that takes the pressure off students to perform or 'keep up', helping them feel comfortable and relaxed, achieving the best results.

Kari has taught yoga in the UK and Germany. Together with her partner Michael, they offer online yoga and in-person classes in Abergavenny, Llanfoist, Raglan, Devauden and Chepstow in Monmouthshire, Wales.
