"From Madrid to Zürich "

–My name is Martín Carrascoso, but my Yoga/energetic name is Surya, Sun God who brings light on the way. This is the energy I share in my classes, enthusiastic, bright & warm.

–I am a 550h (EU) certified Hatha Yoga teacher from Madrid, Spain. Where I learned the fundamentals of Yoga from Javier Hernández Viñuelas, a living example of classic Hatha Yoga.

–Tantric Hatha (energetic yoga) is my main practice & the reason why I went deeper into Yoga. “Yoga with superpowers” read more.

–My aim is to discover the full potential of our body –there's so much more our body can do!

–I come from a competitive sports background, mainly swimming, mtb & running (& surfing, waterskiing, etc.).    

–Injuries & very tight muscles led me into deep stretching and myofascial release 10 years ago, led by Eneric Marés' (an early PNF proponent).

–Flexibility: when I was 7, I could barely pass my knees. I have experienced this flexibility frustration when practicing Yoga, but now I know the steps toward flexibility & how to adapt your Yoga practice.

–I am also experienced in therapeutic Iyengar yoga (for deep flexibility & releasing tension).

–My approach to Yoga is Holistic. This is why I work with different Yoga styles, therapies, and environments. Hence SOYoga's signature outdoor yoga sessions.

–Today, I continue to learn from the best Yoga masters. Especially from Susann Heimgartner (Yoga Seefeld) and her physically demanding Tantric Hatha sessions & bandha practice. Her teachings, love & immense support is one of the main reasons why I continue to live in Zürich.

–I am also grateful to count on the support of the Yoga community in Zürich, with special thanks to Karl Straub (Sanctuary Zürich), who once told me "in every master there is a young master".
