Embark on a hero's yoga journey with a teacher who learnt from the roots

Over the past decade, yoga's been my friend, my inspiration, and the lifestyle that helped me discover a healthier version of myself. It required courage and discipline, but brought about tremendous benefits, which is why I decided to become a teacher, so I can share them and help others experience them too. Our everyday lives are filled with more and more distractions, which make it difficult to pause, observe, and notice things as they are, not as they may be portrayed to us. We are often not in touch with our physical sensations, nor do we always understand how we feel and where in the body we feel it. We are not entirely aware of how we spend our energy, which results in us feeling fatigued and disheartened. Yoga can help us discover our bodies' unknown capacities and limits and build a deeper connection with them as a result, understanding when it is time to be kind to ourselves and not push, and when we can challenge ourselves a bit more. Through yoga, we train our minds to be more open and flexible, let go of unhealthy patterns, and adopt new nourishing habits. Yoga provides us with gentle guidance on how we can be in control of our energy and invest it wisely. All this eventually helps us improve the quality of our lives and our relationships with others. Through teaching, I hope to spread all the goodness of yoga and help my students become aware of the ample positive changes it can bring to their lives. During the practice I encourage my students to explore both spiritual and scientific elements of this multifaceted journey and adopt what works for them at each moment. If you have no background in dancing or gymnastics and think that yoga is not for you, I can relate, and I encourage you to at least give it a try before judging. If you have injuries, like myself, a chronic condition that results in increased anxiety, or find it challenging to establish a routine that brings you ease, I would love to share with you the tools I've discovered along my journey. I look forward to meeting all those who, like myself, have embarked on this patient and enlightening journey of self-discovery.

What I teach

A SAFE & FUN BLEND OF YOGA STYLES

When sequencing a class, my main focus is on creating a safe, balanced, and enjoyable practice. I combine elements from different yoga traditions, drawing on the knowledge and skills I gained through my training. I incorporate my personal experience and intuition while carefully observing how students respond. I love creativity and never teach a class the exact same way twice. I believe that advancing in a posture requires much more than just pure repetition.

PRANAYAMA & MINDFULNESS MEDITATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH

HANDS ON ADJUSTMENTS

One of the key elements of my lessons is adjustments. For beginner practitioners, this means learning correct alignment from the start and practicing safely. For intermediate and advanced yogis, it’s an opportunity to deepen their practice and explore new variations. For me, it’s a way to understand each student’s unique needs and capabilities. Adjustments are always optional.

YOGA OUTSIDE THE MAT

In modern society, we often think of yoga as something practised on the mat. While there’s no doubt that attending classes helps build discipline, I eventually encourage my students to create a yogic lifestyle. In class, we focus on the foundations of yoga, its ethical principles, and mindfulness concepts rooted in Buddhist traditions. Exploring these yogic qualities gives students the opportunity to see how they can organically integrate them into their daily lives.

We all share common aspects of our lifestyles that lead to increased levels of anxiety. Practising with awareness is an important aspect of my classes. Pranayama and meditation help us greatly to be more mindful and have been scientifically proven to have positive impact on mental health. We will be exploring them as both preventative measures and tools to address stress and anxiety.
