FIONA STANG first journeyed to Mysore in 1999 where she met her teacher Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson, Sharath Jois. Fiona continued to study with Guruji and Sharath to receive their teachings of devotion, grace, faith, compassion, patience, and yoga. In 2000, Fiona was authorized to teach by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois, and in July 2009, she was in the first group of 40 students worldwide to receive Level 2 Authorization. She is blessed by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute to teach the Primary and Intermediate series of Ashtanga Yoga. Fiona has been inspired by many other ashtanga teachers throughout the years. She has studied under John Scott, David Swenson & Tim Miller. All these teachers have greatly influenced her understanding and teaching of Ashtanga Yoga. Fiona is grateful for the community of teachers at Ashtanga Yoga Vancouver that support her practice and keep her teaching fresh and innovative. Without Guruji, none of this would be possible
