People come to the yoga mat for many different reasons – some to relieve stress, to help with back pain, or simply to feel stronger and more flexible. Because yoga reaches muscles and joints that many other forms of movement cannot, the physical benefits of yoga – increased flexibility, improved posture, better balance – appear quickly. But with time, the real magic starts to happen – a deeper connection with yourself, more patience and understanding of others, a sense of profound calm and satisfaction.
The word “yoga” can be translated as “union” or “joining” – in this case, the joining of BODY (physical exercise), BREATH (deep, effective breathing) and MIND (meditation). Hatha Yoga is the most general form of yoga, and simply refers to the combination of movement, breath and meditation to create a full workout for the body and mind. It is suitable for all levels, including students with injuries or health conditions.

WAIT, IS THIS CLASS FOR BEGINNERS OR ADVANCED STUDENTS? I DON’T GET IT!
The short answer – it’s for everybody! If you want to build up a sweat and enjoy an intense practice, you can. If you want to move so softly that you can clearly hear your inner voice, you can. Each class offers challenging flows, holds and balances, as well as quieter, more contemplative moments, with plenty of rest when you need it. Throughout my classes, I teach you how to have an open and honest discourse with yourself, to help you choose what’s right for you in the moment. Confused? Don’t be. Just come and try it for yourself .
AND WHO ELSE COMES TO CLASS?
One piece of feedback I hear time and again – the people in my classes are real. Not supermodels, circus performers and athletes (although they’re welcome too!) but real bodies, of all shapes, sizes and genders, working together with one common goal – to feel strong, healthy and ready to meet whatever life throws at us. So wherever you are in your practice, you’ll find a home in my classes.
By the way, all classes are held in my native language of English, but I also speak Czech, Russian and French in case you need some help with the trickier terms.
