Matej Jurenka was born in Bratislava, Slovakia. His first real contact with Yoga came at the age of 20, with the discovery of a book called "Light on Yoga" written by B.K.S. Iyengar. Since then, he has been practicing Yoga regularly and with much dedication, incorporating Yogic and Tantric techniques into his own daily sadhana routine. Matej now practices the most advanced level of Hatha Yoga, conducting workshops and classes around the world. Among the countries where he has taught are India, Spain, Nepal, Africa, Singapore, Slovakia and China.
Matej got his teaching certificate from a Yoga school called Yoga India in Mysore, which is directed by a Yoga master Bharath Shetty. Mysore is one of the richest cities in India concerning Yoga traditions. Bharat's school is a very reputable Yoga school registered with Yoga Alliance, which is an organization that registers Yoga schools and Yoga teachers from all over the world.
Matej is deeply devoted to Mother Earth and her healing powers. He believes in ecological and environmental solutions, global peace and social justice. He believes in natural medicine such as Ayurveda and follows vegetarian diet. He is greatly inspired by the Hindu mythology system, with bhakti (devotion) being the driving force for any spiritual accomplishment. Besides Yoga he dedicates his free time to the study of Shamanism.
