Teaching

I am giving hatha yoga courses since 1997. Working with mixed age groups and skill levels, I’ve developed an individual approach to teaching asana. For the last 17 years I have been giving yoga classes to the actors and have adapted yoga techniques to their needs, resulting in 
– stronger and suppler body
– faster recovery from psychophysical efforts
– freer respiratory musculature
– less possibility of injuries during the performance
– greater resistance to stress
– reduction of chronic muscle pain
– better functioning of the heart and lungs
– increased awareness of the position of the body in space
– better balance
– restored relaxation reflex and ability to quickly and deeply relax
– improved concentration and memory
– better mood

Along with general hatha yoga courses, I have been giving yoga-based workshops: yoga for the office, yoga for healthy
bones, yoga for pregnancy, antistress yoga, tibetan pranayama.
