My name is Ioana and I am certain it will be a beautiful experience to work with you here on Apprentus. I specialize in Social Sciences and Clinical Psychology while having a keen interest in making the world I live in a better place. My goal is to create interactive classes in which I combine my expertise in psychology with an understanding of the impact and implications of globalization in today’s society while setting up the motivation to be of help to my students in their process of self discovery and making their aspirations come true. In this respect, I will challenge my students with philosophical questions about the ethics of engaging with each other from a win-win perspective as for them to develop a sense of understanding we are all interconnected and their decisions will impact not only themselves but those around them as well.
This is my first class on Apprentus and it is about developing successful careers while avoiding burnout. It is designed to be practical and to enhance my students' self confidence from a mindful selfless rather than selfish perspective yet assertive after only 1 hour spent with me. This class teaches lots of practical tools for anyone who wants to become an active successful agent of benefic change. The focus is for students to learn to develop their career in simple steps that anyone can easily apply and, at the same time, remain positive and energetic It emerged from my own career as I used to manage large teams of people into successful ventures with little to no funds at all. Is it possible? Yes, it is and I will make sure this course will clarify the steps that support your career development in all its layers in a practical straightforward objective-based trustworthy method.
You will learn:
- to engage in a project by setting up the right motivation;
- to make a consistent plan for your projects;
- to be flexible in response to the business climax, to your partners and anyone involved;
- to be mindful and future oriented in your business partnerships;
- to be confident and honest in your interactions;
- to make business with Intention;
- to eliminate pressure, stress and burnout.

How to Raise Healthy Children - Theory and Methods

71.28 $ /h

My name is Ioana. I am a certified counselor and a clinician in training. I lead workshops on parental education in order to raise the awareness it is better long term to raise our children in a healthy manner than to go through therapy later on in life. This 1 hour class will show you the correct educational method to use when interacting with your child in order for him/her to develop his/her own internal resources and why this theoretical knowledge and its practicality are more effective than the try and error methods many parents use till they become exhausted. The class is structured in a condensed manner for you to learn the basics of a mindful interaction with your child. Thank you and hope to see you attending my class!

Yoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.

I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.

A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?

I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class.
Are you ready for this journey ? (Beginner, intermediate or advanced welcome)

Pilates, Barre and other classes available with me on demand.
I have recently graduated with a Barre foundations diploma, provided by the MethodBarre. Barre a very popular sports enables you to build strength and elongate your muscles. As an ancient dancer (Jazz and Ballet) at the Conservatoire de la Musique du Luxembourg, I have strong ballet foundations. However, my barre practice merges fitness and ballet. Yogi’s and anyone can benefit from Barre classes.

You can book me for retreats, private (luxury) trips on demand as your coach/ instructor.

Finally, I have a nutrition diploma by the Univeristy of Groningen, where I am also currently being trained to become an MD. My nutrition diploma is an advantage to you as a coach- I can guide you in injury recovery, detox and assist you with certain medical conditions such as IBS or other gut diseases in the autoimmune spectrum.

In primary and secondary school, I had many friends who struggled with specific subjects, which I didn't. It also happened the other way around. It was great to be able to help each other with this. When that wasn't possible, we received tutoring from a great coach, and this helped us all pass our exams.

School can be frustrating, overwhelming, and overwhelming. Having the right person to help you through this and provide guidance can reduce a lot of stress. Besides tutoring, I'm also a Psychology student and could help with planning, fear of failure, ADD/ADHD, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!

I have been practicing yoga for over twenty years. I encountered Ashtanga Yoga twelve years ago during a period of profound personal transformation and was immediately drawn to its structure, rigor, and transformative vitality. Since then, I have maintained a disciplined daily practice.

Over the years, I have studied with internationally respected teachers including Susanna Finocchi, Manju Jois, Sharmila Desai, Adam Keen, Luke Jordan, Lucia Andrade, Kristina Karitinou, Radha Warrell, Pierre Seghir, and Nancy Gilgoff.

Since 2019, I have spent extended periods in Mysore, India, deepening my studies at the Sharath Yoga Centre, a leading institution dedicated to preserving and transmitting the Ashtanga Yoga tradition. I had the privilege of practicing there on several occasions with the late Paramaguru Sharath Jois.

Alongside embodied practice, I have studied Sanskrit and classical Indian philosophical texts for many years, seeking to unite physical discipline with theoretical understanding.

In my teaching, I remain faithful to tradition while honoring the individuality of each practitioner. Every path is carefully tailored with respect for physical condition, personal needs, and life context.

Group Classes Available
Classes can also be arranged for small groups. In this case, the session fee is shared among participants, reducing the individual cost for each practitioner.

If you wish to deepen your work, you are welcome to practice with me.

This is a one‐on‐one breathwork experience designed to help you move out of the thinking mind and into deep nervous‐system regulation, emotional release, and embodied presence.

Through intentional breathing, movement, touch and supportive spaceholding this session helps you to:
- reset stress and overwhelm
- release stuck energy and tension from the body
- access deeper clarity and inner calm
- reconnect with your body

I work with an embodied approach, grounding the nervous system, meeting emotions as they arise, and inviting self‐awareness without forcing or fixing.

This is ideal if you:
- want real nervous‐system support rather than “relaxation only”
- feel held back by chronic stress, burnout, or emotional tension
- want tools that continue to support you off the mat
- feel like meditation is too boring / doesn't work for you

No previous breathwork experience needed. All levels welcome.
