Christina Hug | Faculty Support
Christina has her second home in India, where she had moved to live and work for Greenpeace and besides that found yoga. She explored the practices of several traditions before studying in depth with the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai. After finding out about T. Krishnamacharya, she was literally drawn to learn at the center and Desikachar’s no-nonsense style of teaching deeply resonated with her. KYM’s teacher training provided a comprehensive foundation in both the theoretical understanding and practical application of yoga. Although the classes in Vedic Chanting have initially been her least favorite, the subject grew on her so much, that she decided to participate in the International Teacher Training in Healing Chants. The fascination for the Sanskrit language, Vedic texts and deeply rooted sounds has only multiplied since then and she loves sharing it. Christina also studied Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore at the KPJAYI with R. Sharath Jois and Sri BNS Iyengar.
Lee-Mei Con | Media Partnerships & Content
Lee is a Swedish born Yoga Teacher since 2016 and graduated in Business Administration at Stockholm University 2020. With a diverse cultural background, both Hispanic and Chinese, her curiosity brought many abroad opportunities for self-development through enlightening experiences.
Her first encounter with Yoga was in her early teenage years when living in Cadiz. By being the foreign girl with a diverse ethnicity in a southern city in Spain, she had the ability to adapt to any social group while not fully belonging anywhere. Unconsciously, she was practising detachment and learnt the value of cultural appreciation.
The asana practice came into Lee’s life at the age of 17 years old when she would observe the dedicated yogis sharing their journey through social media. It was the trigger which led her to challenge herself to see how far she could get even after suffering from a car accident in 2012. After 2 years of practice, her then yoga teacher encouraged Lee to pursue her own path as a yoga teacher. The idea seen as a seed bloomed into reality when she finished her first 100h Vinyasa TT in Stockholm and started to teach right away.
In her study abroad year Lee did her exchange semester in Tokyo at Waseda University, then completed her 200h Ashtanga & Hatha TT in Rishikesh, India and moved to Berlin to work as the studio manager assistant at Yogatribe until august 2019. In her search for opportunities to put to practice academical knowledge whilst combining it with her passion, Yoga and Business, Lee aims to explore and learn in the global market to be part in shaping and contributing to the yoga industry.
