He discovered Yoga on a backpacking trip through Europe and immediately felt a strong connection. He completed a Yoga teacher training in 2019 and has been intermittently teaching Vinyasa Yoga since then. More recently he came across Kinam, known by some as Toltec Yoga, and felt an even more profound connection with the practice and cosmovision. With Kinam, he knew he was going to immerse himself in the practice for life. After a short time, Adrian travelled to Mexico to train as part of the second generation of certified Kinam instructors of our time. He feels a strong calling to share the wisdom of his ancestors to serve our collective and holistic evolution journey. Adrian spends his time moving his body with dance, slacklining, highlining, Yoga and Kinam. He is most interested in applying tools from Yoga, Kinam, and a blend of other schools of thought to deepen his experience and understanding of the complex biosphere we live in.
