My journey

I have no clear memory how my yoga journey started but I am guessing I was 16 years old when I tried my first class, it is when I moved to Riga, capital of Latvia. I have born in Latvia and when I was 21-year-old, I decided to travel the world. I have lived and worked in different countries as Greece, Egypt, Serbia and currently, I have found my home in Switzerland.

First, I was a Vinyasa practitioner, I couldn’t stand any slow, meditative or neither any breathing exercises. It took many classes before I was aware of my breath. At that time, I didn’t realize but it was a style of fitness for me. Unfortunately, something tragic had to happen in my life to realize many other benefits of yoga. After sudden loss of a family member, yoga helped me to find the peace and accept the pain as a part of living. Yoga is much more then physical exercises; it teaches us how-to live-in peace and in harmony with each other and with ourselves. Yoga helped me to be more patient, calm, sensitive towards myself and others. The reason why I became a Yoga Teacher was how it helped me to face my pain and to get stronger physically and emotionally, is when I decided to help others and share the beauty of yoga.
