I have been practicing yoga since 2013 when I moved to London from Bulgaria where I originally hail from. I first stepped into the world of yoga when I started attending the free yoga classes offered at my workplace and was immediately hooked. Over the years my practice has become more focused and I have discovered the styles that resonated with me the most.

In February 2022 I had just completed my 200 hours Vinyasa training from the School of Yoga at Kindred Yoga in London, when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Along with everything else that comes with such a diagnosis, comes the fear of the unknown and the anxiety for the future.

Throughout my battle with cancer, yoga was one of the things that kept me sane and although I wasn't able to teach at the time, through my practice I could appreciate the undeniable physical and mental benefits of yoga. After going through all of the surgery and treatments, my entire life perspective has shifted.  I have recently left my big corporate job to dedicate myself to teaching yoga and I am looking into ways to apply my experience and the tools as a yoga teacher to share the practice with others who have suffered through cancer and bring positive impact to their lives. Whilst I was on treatment, I studied online and discovered yin yoga, which has so many benefits, not just physically but mentally and energetically.

After my breast surgery, I've been working on sequences that use the shoulder mobility recovery exercises as a base to create inclusive and accessible practice for women who have gone through the same. Recently, I have also attended workshops and I am planning to get a certification later this year that specialises in teaching yoga for cancer.

I am also very creative and musical, I enjoy singing and performing on stage and I believe that my creative side comes through my yoga teaching. I am also an adventurer and I love discovering new cultures, enriching my experiences and my approach to life. Recently, during my Mandala and the elements training a learned a lot about shamanic practices and the fascinating culture of South & Central America, giving me another perspective and a boost of new ideas for my teaching.

I believe that as a yoga teacher I can share my knowledge and passion in a playful practice, with an open heart and mind. I always encourage my students to explore the practice in their own way while building strength, stability and balance, finding their inner peace and going through their own self-discovery.

M﻿y mission is to spread the yoga goodness around me and help as many people as I can to feel its benefits.

I﻿ teach mainly in London but also occasionally in Reading. My regular classes are at the Dockland Settlements community centre in Rotherhithe and online. I teach cover or guest classes also at Kindred Yogalife, Pure Gym Lewisham, Yoginah Reading and Unleashed Performance Reading and Tilehurst.
