Ian Szydlowski-Alvarez

Ian is the teacher program director at Jivamukti Yoga Paris, scheduled to open in March 2020.

He hopes to inspire and serve others by offering an integrated practice and experience of Yoga as he has practiced and understood it from his teachers. Yoga practice not only as an instrument towards liberation– but as liberation in itself – as taught in the exciting tradition of Jivamukti Yoga. He loves practicing and teaching Jivamukti. Over many years he attended classes as a student at the center in New York, and this was a daily ritual that complemented his life there for so long he always wants to share that love. Ian is indebted to all his teachers and masters over the years, especially his mentor Rima Rabbath who ultimately showed such dedication and service that she has inspired him to follow on this path as best he may. May yoga can be a tool to help us learn to be more receptive in order to nourish our highest potential! Ian believes Yoga asana not only transforms the physical body, and can lead to radiant health, but working with the other limbs of Yoga can purify our subtlest form and prepare us to be a better vehicle, a better servant, to make of ourselves like a light like the Buddha has said.
