Who am I and why I am involved with yoga?

My passion for yoga began 18 years ago, in 2007 when I attended my first ever yoga class, while living in the USA. Since then I am a student of yoga and I started reading and practicing in studios and at home. 

In 2014, as a new mother, I discovered Satyananda Yoga at Prakriti School, in Romania. Yoga became my sanctuary, a gentle, nurturing practice that felt like magic.

Over time, yoga became more than just a practice; it became my lifestyle.

In 2016, I deepened my journey in India at the Bihar School of Yoga, where I attended the Raja Yoga course and received my mantra initiation. I knew then, that I wanted to share the profound benefits I had experienced with others.

By 2018, I was teaching yoga, initially for children and then for teenagers also. I trained with YogaEd USA, focusing on trauma-informed yoga, and began working in after-schools , private school and in the studio offering yoga as a tool for emotional and mental well-being.

In 2021, life tested me in ways I never expected. I experienced a deep personal loss, and yoga became my refuge. Though I had practiced for years, it was during this time that I truly understood the transformative power of Yoga Nidra and I experienced the benefits of Restorative Yoga. These practices guided me through grief, helping me find stillness amidst turmoil, starting a journey of healing at a level deeper than the physical. After becoming certified in Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga, I felt called to help others experience the same profound healing.

Now, I am expanding my journey further, exploring how yoga can support women at every stage of life. From menstrual health to perimenopause, menopause, and post-surgery recovery, I am studying how yoga can help women ease into their bodies with confidence and comfort. Soon, I will be offering dedicated women’s classes, not just for deep rest, but for whole-body healing and overall well-being.
