Yin Yoga
My whole life I thought that exercising was not for me until I discovered yoga. From the very beginning, I knew it would play a significant part in my life. Over time, it became obvious to me that I needed to share the benefits of yoga and especially the joy it brings. Having frequented my mat for years as a student, I decided to attend a yin yoga teacher course.
Vinyasa i Yin joga I elementy medycyny Chińskiej
Rodowita krakowianka, po 16 latach pobytu w Manchesterze wróciłam do naszego magicznego miasta. Już od pierwszego spotkania z jogą wiedziałam, że chcę się nią dzielić. Ukończyłam 270-godzinny kurs nauczycielski Yoga Alliance – pod okiem Stephanie Millar – Kopyar i Dominika Trznadla. Korzystam z jogi w walce z uzależnieniem i dla ukojenia ciała, duszy i umysłu. Uwielbiam przekazywać to dalej.

Kundalini
I am a medical physicist and molecular biologist by training. Yoga came into my life 8 years ago, as a cure for daily stress and body stiffness. It was then that I first heard myself. I stayed on this path of development, slowly and patiently making changes in my life. Along the way I met wonderful teachers, each of whom left a part of themselves, while encouraging me to discover my own individual path.

Ashtanga
Karolina rozpoczęła swoją jogową przygodę w 2018 roku. Zwykła ciekawość i chęć ruchu okazały się być trwałą zmianą stylu życia, wejściem na jogową ścieżkę duchową a praktyka jogi stałym elementem w jej codzienności. Próbując różnych stylów jogi dosyć szybko stało się dla niej jasne, że to Ashtanga ją wybrała i to właśnie ta metoda jest jej praktyką własną. Joga to jej największa pasja, narzędzie samopoznania i samodoskonalenia.
Vinyasa
Hi! My name is Ania. I teach yoga and how to breathe. I finished 300h Integral Yoga Teacher training in June 2021 and since then I share movement with others. During the class we will strengthen our bodies together with expanding the range of our motion. The foundation of the practice I teach is dynamic vinyasa yoga mixed with some static movement, sometimes coordination play and always breath work.
Tantra joga i Yin joga i Ashtanga mysore
Loves intensely and passionately - yoga, learning foreign languages, cats, the art of touch, bodywork, connecting with people. Constantly on the move, constantly in the process of exploration on how to help others awaken to sensations and consciousness. Marta is a tamed chaos. When she shares her yoga passion with others, she combines calm she finds in yin yoga, proprioception of fascia yoga and meditations of tantric origin with ashtanga’s inner fire. She incorporates into her work the practices of tantra and shamanism she learns from Anand Rudra.
Yin joga i Yin yang
I am a teacher of yin yoga and ying yang practice. I strongly believe we may feel freedom in relationships with our bodies every day as long as we decide to take care of ourselves. Joga is my passion. Thanks to this practice I can experience the most mindful and beautiful journey towards myself and overcome many obstacles that I have in my body. I believe that our body shows us what happens inside our minds and daily lives.
