Surya Fitness Yoga

Marc has been practicing Vinyasa Yoga since 2007 under the tutelage of Pio Baquiran. In 2008, he gradually practiced Ashtanga Yoga and further learned from teachers Manuel Ferreira and Joycee Lah. In February 2011, he completed his 200-hour registered yoga teacher training at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Cu Chi, Vietnam. He earned the title of yoga siromani (teacher of yoga).

Pio Baquiran earned a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, major in Vaisnava Theology and Philosophy in the Bhaktivedante College of Education and Culture in India and a master’s degree in Philosophy in Bhaktivedanta College of South Africa. Pio completed his yoga teachers’ training under the International Yoga Institute and has since worked as a full-time teacher of Vinyasa Yoga.

Joy Andres was clueless about yoga until she started to practice Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga back in 2008. Some teachers who inspired joy to teach are Ganesh Upadyay, Tesa Celdran and Joelle Goudsmit and that very year, she went for her teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram in India. Upon returning, she immediately began to teach Hatha and Power Yoga classes.
