My name is Natalia. I was born and lived for 30 years in the cold north city above the Arctic circle, the land of the polar nights, deer and aurora borealis, where I’ve started my yoga practice (as many of us) by joining classes in yoga studios, attaining different courses and retreats, reading books of famous yogis, trying to meditate… But the most deep and powerful discovery in my experience as a yoga disciple (with some considerable background in various training courses as well as personal practice) was brought by getting in touch with Patanjali and his incredibly profound Yoga Soutras.

Yoga is mastering your mind, your life and yourself. It is a very practical matter from one side and requires a determined self-discipline and persistent sincere effort for being firmly established in oneself and dropping everything which is not aligned with the purity of one's own being. From another side this self-discipline is based entirely on your own inner wisdom and understanding which is already there. The whole science of yoga (the 8 limbs) is to help you to turn within and deepen this infinite cosmic intelligence in the silence and stillness of your own being.

On my retreats I offer relaxing, intimate, gentle atmosphere and heart-to-heart contact, based on kindness and respect to everyone’s unique presence and experience, where we will explore and deepen the discipline of Yoga, based on Patanjali’s Yoga Soutras.
I would love also to share with you my approach to yoga movements, which is about relaxation, spontaneity and pleasure of free and natural body's energy flowing. I'm inspired by conscious feeling of weightlessness, anti-gravity and levitation that can be experienced in asanas.

I love to express my creativity through photography, which gives me the opportunity to visualize the beauty and the perfection I see in the Nature and alive beings.
My academical studies include ecology, pedagogics and Gestalt psychotherapy.
