In my sessions, you can expect a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to explore and honor their unique body and abilities. Each session is designed to be accessible yet challenging, allowing you to progress at your own pace while honoring your body's needs.
Session Structure:
Our sessions begin with a brief centering practice to ground ourselves and connect with our breath. We'll then move through a series of asanas (yoga poses), focusing on proper alignment, breath awareness, and mindful movement. I'll offer modifications and adjustments throughout the practice to ensure everyone feels supported and comfortable.
Benefits of Practicing Together:
Practicing yoga together strengthens our bodies, increases flexibility, and cultivates community and connection. Yoga is not just about physical postures; it's also about creating space for self-reflection, self-care, and personal growth. Together, we'll explore how yoga can enrich every aspect of our lives, both on and off the mat.

Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve flexibility, or find more joy and balance in your life, I invite you to join me on this journey of yoga exploration. No matter where you are on your yoga journey, there is always something new to discover and learn.
Let's roll out our mats, breathe deeply, and dive into the transformative practice of yoga together. I can't wait to see you on the mat!

Education
I studied Ashtanga yoga teacher training, Yoga Nidra, and restorative yoga with several senior yoga teachers to deepen my practices and learn ancestral yoga traditions. Studied Macrobiotic philosophy at the Kushi Institue.Experience / Qualifications
I have been previlege to teach in Hawaii by donation at the park, private instructions as well as in yoga studio. I also teach Yoga in retreat centers.Embark on a transformative self-discovery and holistic wellness journey with our invigorating Ashtanga Yoga classes. Rooted in ancient yoga traditions, Ashtanga Yoga offers a dynamic and structured approach to yoga practice, combining breathwork (pranayama), movement (asana), and meditation to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.
Led by experienced and certified yoga instructors, My Ashtanga Yoga classes suit practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Each class begins with a grounding meditation and breath awareness, setting the intention for the practice and creating a calm and focused mindset.
Students will flow through the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, known as "Yoga Chikitsa" or Yoga Therapy, through a carefully sequenced series of postures. This systematic sequence of poses is designed to detoxify the body, improve flexibility, and build strength while also promoting internal balance and harmony.
The dynamic nature of Ashtanga Yoga encourages practitioners to move with intention and mindfulness, synchronizing breath with movement to create a moving meditation. As students progress through the practice, they will develop greater physical endurance, mental resilience, and emotional stability while deepening their connection to the present moment.
In addition to the physical benefits, Ashtanga Yoga offers profound psychological and spiritual benefits, helping students cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual awakening. By integrating the principles of yoga philosophy into the practice, students will learn to develop compassion, gratitude, and acceptance both on and off the mat.
Whether you want to build strength, increase flexibility, or deepen your spiritual practice, our Ashtanga Yoga classes provide a supportive and nurturing environment for personal growth and transformation. Join us on the mat and experience the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga in your life.

Science , Chemistry, Biology ,Public Health and Health BasicsOnce upon a time, I found science, math and health courses a bit tricky, just like you might. But guess what? I didn't let that stop me. Instead, I turned the tough parts into stepping stones for success.
I figured out a way to understand science and math by breaking them into smaller, easier parts. It wasn't always easy, but I didn't give up. Those challenges became the basis for my journey to success.
Now, imagine this: I'm not just a tutor; I'm someone who conquered the subjects that once seemed really hard. Science, math, and health-related courses became my friends in life, leading me to a place where I want to help you succeed.
I know what it's like, and I know we can do this together. Let's make your learning journey a story of success

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:)
Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;)
Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness.
We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives.
Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride!
I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers.
Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly.
So, let's see you on the mat.

Rediscover Your Body: Movement & Skill Training OutdoorsIn this class, I invite you to explore different flavours of movement practice based on what excites you the most. Whether you're drawn to strength, mobility, or play, each session is tailored to your interests. We’ll start with a quick conversation about what you’d like to focus on, and from there, we’ll dive into a practice that’s engaging, fun, and suited to your pace.
Explore What Moves You:
• Ground Locomotion: learn movements like lizard walks, elastic push-ups, and cossack squats that develop full-body strength.
• Mobility: gain movement freedom by working on spine and hip literacy, or targetting weak links like wrists and ankles.
• Balancing: sharpen your senses and improve body awareness by learning to balance on your feet, hands, head, shoulders—and on rails, working with fear to push your limits and build resilience.
• Climbing: explore trees, bars, and urban structures to develop an intelligent body capable of solving complex problems.
• Jumping & Catching: improve coordination, precision, and reaction speed through fun, dynamic tasks.
• Soft acrobatics: challenge and surprise yourself with movements like cartwheels, rolls, and kick-ups.
Why It Works:
This isn’t just about fitness—it’s about reconnecting with your body in a way that feels empowering and fun. If you’ve ever felt out of place in a gym or found traditional workouts uninspiring, this class is for you. It’s about discovering how movement can be a joyful, meaningful experience—building strength, balance, and confidence at your own pace. Ready to explore your body’s potential in a whole new way? I would love to guide you!

HATHA YOGA/ASHTANGA YOGA/YOGA NIDRA/Meditations. Improve your physical and mental health with the best coach in Ukraine!Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication.
Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body.
What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture.
This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga.
Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas.
