Veranika

A lot of people think that yoga is difficult. They are afraid they won’t be able to cope with the group pace and/or the intensity of the exercises demonstrated by the yoga instructor. My classes are not about achieving through suffering. My classes are about looking for a compromise between what you want to do and what your body can do. In a compromise, harmony is born. If there is harmony, sooner or later there will be a habit. A habit means everything will come. Flexibility will come. Resilience will come. Beauty will come.

I am familiar with over 30 types of yoga. I have practiced some of them since 2015. As a yoga instructor, I teach Hatha Yoga and Kriya Yoga (dynamic meditative practice) with elements of sound vibrations, pranayama (yogic breathing), and meditation. It is important for me to create an atmosphere of comfort and trust – the two crucial components of deep relaxation – offering a practitioner multiple physiologically safe variations of asanas, alternating dynamics, and statics, effort, and relaxation

I’ve completed a 1000-hour professional yoga instructor training. My personal practice turned into a daily routine about 4 years ago. I truly believe that yoga is for everyone. I know for a fact that yoga works. I’d love to share this knowledge with others.
