ABOUT ME

​

I simply love helping others, I feel confident teaching to variety of students but especially to the population that suffers from physical limitations but has vast amount of determination and courage. The progress I get to witness is incredible the change in human body is fascinating. For this simple reason I keep on learning and exploring to be more qualified in assisting in various situations with wide range of students.  By nature I'm creative and this comes very handy in building classes to create unique environment.

Also by nature I'm not very bendy hence I can relate to individuals who are in the same position and now would like to improve their physical mobility and emotional well-being.  I'm trained in traditional Hatha Yoga however over the years and with growing number of students with hip, knee replacements and various other joint conditions I've directed my teaching focus towards Functional Movement. I'm a big believer in Iyengar and Anusara Style. The pace in my classes is slower and the true work is often found with variety of modifications that however simple might look are challenging and effective leaving students feeling more fluid, open and supple in their bodies. I've completed 500hrs of Yoga training including; Integrative Anatomy and Therapeutics, Restorative and Yin Yoga as well as Advanced Yoga & Meditation in the Modern Age and the learning for me never ends. 

 

 

My motto is; "Start where you are, Use what you have, Do what you can"

​

What to expect in my Yoga classes: A class where students; learn, feel comfortable, accomplished & more fluid in their bodies. Aside from physical aspect I teach "yoga beyond poses" integrating themes, ideas, yoga mythology and wisdome.

​

What to expect in my Mat Pilates aka Adore your Core classes: I taken students through number of effective slow burn workouts to create intelligent exercise that is both safe and effective. The goal is to regain stronger body, improve range of motion and muscular stability in core and pelvic region. Each Mat Pilates class starts with practicing Pilates breath, upbeat warmup, mat work, from time to time we dance and finish resting. I'm trained in Stott Pilates Method however I offer wide variety of movements.
