About Budokon

Budokon yoga is a practice for movers who seek the highest level of mobility. By combining yoga with elements of martial arts, calisthenics, animal locomotion and cognitive studies, it helps to improve mobility and to build strength.

The word Budokon is comprised of the syllables BU meaning warrior, DO meaning way and KON meaning spirit.

The purpose of Budokon yoga is to gain muscular strength, cardiovascular stamina, joint mobility as well as to develop agility and flexibility.

As a physically demanding style, it is intended to challenge and destroy the mental constructs you may have about yourself, leading to self-transformation through self-observation.

My tip for your practice

“Find a great teacher. Become a great student. Slow down. Fail. Listen more than you talk. Never stop. Practice, practice, practice.

The way you do anything, is the way you do everything.“
