About Me
It all started with a book: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. It was my first encounter with Eastern wisdom. I was at the beginning of my twenties at the time. The first time I read it, I remember being astonished by its simplicity yet deeply-rooted wisdom. I was curious to know more and decided to travel to Asia. I ended up living 3 years in India, where I spend some time discovering Hinduism and Buddhism, their principles and philosophies.
After that, I went to Australia on vacation and that’s where I met my future teacher Andzej Gozpardchyk, founder of Ryoho Wellness. I was practicing yoga on a regular basis, but the yoga he taught me was transformative. In a few classes, he could point out my imbalances, my weaknesses and where I should improve. That was my first try at Japanese Yoga Therapy. I was fascinated. Later on, I heard that he was also a Shiatsu Master and I definitely wanted to try it out. It was an incredible experience–the feeling of calmness, the energy flowing in me, the profound relaxing state I was in were very new to me (as he told me at the end of the treatment that I didn’t know how to relax). He’s advice and recommendations were unorthodox (at least after a massage) and consisted of yoga correctives and nutritional tips. Yet he could precisely see what was happening in me and where I could improve; after a few weeks doing what he told me to, I felt like a new man! I wanted to learn this knowledge. I needed to.
