Britta Larsson-Jones is assisting Maria on this retreat. Britta has been practising yoga since 1995 and is a student of Maria. With Marias support Britta started to teach in 1997. Nowadays she too travels regularly to Mysore to deepen her understanding of the practise. In her teaching Britta emphasizes the importance of the flow between movement and breathing and she encourages her students to find strength as well as joy in their practise. Britta is, with her fifty-two years and strong practice, a great inspiration to many women, starting to practise yoga somewhat later.
