I grew up in Belarus dancing, and I worked for many years in Minsk as an actress. Some years ago, I moved to Los Angeles to continue acting, but I wasn't satisfied with that work. In fact, overall, I wasn't satisfied with my life.
I was stressed and depressed. I went deep into different types of spiritual work, and I took many medicines. I almost lost myself.
When I discovered yoga, it saved my life. I realized my purpose.
Since then I've trained over 1000 hours in many styles of yoga. I study acro, flexibility, meditation and anatomy, and I share my knowledge. I have taught in numerous studios in NYC, LA and Florida, leading classes, workshops, corporate events, and many private lessons online and offline.
I enjoy helping my students find balance through breath, physicality, and dynamic movement.
In my free time I enjoy practicing acrobatics, pole dancing and attending movement festivals. I read books and care about sustainability.
I believe that movement is a great way to find balance and create a better relationship with the body.
I’m forever grateful to all my mentors and teachers: Shraddhasagar, Garth Hewitt, Mokshapriya Shakti, Isaak Peña, Sean Langhaus and Emily Lesinski, and every student who has given me a daily lesson. Thank you for being here.
Om shanti
