Aiko is a yoga instructor, Reflexologist, Naturopath, early childhood educator, (CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care ) and nature lover. Aiko has been teaching yoga since 2009. She found the greatness of yoga during her studies in University in Taiwan in 2007 and she knew from her first yoga experience that she had to share this wonderful experience with the world.
Since she was a child, she has always felt that a leading a life concerned with more than just the material world was important. She made her first visit to India in 2009 to deepen her yoga practice and to complete the teacher's training course in Himalayas.
Yoga has been a major part of her life since then.
I seek to share yoga in a way that is grounding and balancing in our busy lives.

I like to know where my food comes from and whether it was grown organically and naturally because I believe that food is the essence of our body and mind. I like home cooking with local ingredients, that is more make sense to me rather than buying vegetables and fruits are coming from hundreds of miles away. I truly believe that we are all one and there is no separation. We all have different thoughts and believes, but even so, we can all connect with each other through the higher realm of spirituality beyond other systems and be united. The most importantly we need to take care of the Earth and always need to think about seven generations ahead to leave bright future for future's children.
Radhe Aananda Yoga is very calming and healing that will create balance and flow in the energy channels of the body.

QUOTES FROM SWAMI SIVANANDA
This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength.
If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.
You can have calmness of mind at all times by the practice of yoga. You can have restful sleep. You can have increased energy, vigour, vitality, longevity, and a high standard of health. You can turn out efficient work within a short space of time. You can have success in every walk of life.
