I’m a physicist passionate about body movement, yoga, theatre and music. I started practicing yoga in 2008 and completed certification for Ashtanga yoga instructors in 2012 in the USA and have been teaching yoga since.

I have practiced many different forms of yoga (eg. Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga) and I believe no form of yoga is specifically better than any other form of yoga. I think we should choose the type which we individually resonate with and feel serves us better.

Personally my favourite style is vinyasa because I feel a great flow and harmony with my breath during practice.

Nevertheless I like to combine different styles during my own practice, and during classes I teach and observe my students in order to see and understand what they need or enjoy more.

I like to pay attention to details but at the same time I don’t like correcting poses each and every second because it may kill the joy of practice. I don’t believe in a “perfect pose”. I believe that feeling our bodies and listening to them is the most important thing and the best way to practice any movement in our lives.

Additional I teach breathing techniques- pranayama and meditation. The proportion of these techniques in my classes depends on the individuals or group in my classes.
