WINFRED KARIUKI

I have been teaching yoga since 2013. I have gained my certifications for AYP 200hr, Baptiste Level II, Art of Assisting, and Next Generation Yoga for kids.

I was introduced to yoga by another AYP teacher, Irene Mueni. We used to practice back at home where she was teaching free outreach community classes and I became interested to teach and empower the youth in our community as well. In the year 2013, I applied to be a teacher at the Africa Yoga Project and I trained for one year as an assistant and then officially became an instructor through AYP.

When I’m teaching, I really enjoy assisting my students within their poses to help deepen their practice and experience. In class, I infuse the power of drishti (focus) and ujjayi (breath) to bring release them from stress and come back into their present moment. Primarily, I teach Kid’s Yoga and Power Yoga. Currently I teach three outreach classes per week and have four private classes a week.

Africa Yoga Project Educates, Empowers, Elevates and Expands Employability with youth in Africa using the transformational practice of yoga. Our vision is to create opportunities for youth to step into their greatness and become self-sustaining leaders in their communities.
