I first have met yoga in 2010, and I simply practised for the movement aspect of it. I fell in love and I knew back then that I'd like to teach. However, my path led me towards something different; I became a fully qualified Montessori teacher and I was working with children for the next 8 years.
I was 35 when I have got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and it stopped me from sports of all kind. The swelling, the constant pain, the stiffness was giving me a hard time.
I found that period very frustrating and I felt helpless. Then I found yoga again and kept practising. When the opportunity arose to complete a 200 hr hot vinyasa teacher training I took my chance and did it. It was an amazing journey. Yoga taught me self-care, gentleness, acceptance, modification, and most of all patience.
I gave up Montessori and I am teaching yoga since. Living with a condition which puts a limitation on your movement every now and then is challenging, but yoga helped me to come so far I have probably never imagined.
Meeting new people and introducing them to yoga and their benefits is a privilege and I am very passionate about it. I love to show people what their body is able for and capable of.
