Kalyani Hauswirth-Jain
Kalyani  was  born  and  raised  in  Switzerland.  Since  early adolescence  she  has  been  fascinated  by  art,  bodywork,  the body-mind connection, and alternative therapies. Following her  strong  inclination  for  art  and  physical  expression  she emigrated  to  the  Netherlands  at  the  age  of  19  to  study Modern Dance. Soon after she was exposed to the teachings and practice of yoga and was immediately mesmerized. The mother of two children now, she has been teaching yoga since 2007, and training yoga teachers since 2011 at the Arhanta Yoga Ashrams in India and the Netherlands. By following a diligent self-practice, working with many different teachers, styles, and techniques, she  gained  a  profound  understanding  of  physiology  and movement  techniques.  This,  in  combination  with  her extensive teaching experience, gave her an understanding of the importance of structure and sequencing for a holistic yoga asana practice.
