My Story
I have been studying movement for over 30 years, first through dance and later Pilates and Yoga.
Born and raised in Yugoslavia, I danced ballet and contemporary dance which brought me to the Netherlands. I studied at Rotterdam Dance Academy (Codarts) where I discovered the beauty and authenticity of the Classical Pilates method which I’m teaching ever since.
Already 15 years ago Yoga became an increasingly important part of my life. When I moved to Amsterdam and found Svaha Yoga, I immediately fell in love with this place and the Bhakti Yoga practices they taught and I got curious to learn more. I enrolled in their Teacher Training and afterwards travelled to India to deepen my practice. This journey opened my heart and changed my life. Soon after, I started teaching Yoga at my home-based studio, Svaha Yoga and other studios in Amsterdam. I had the honour to study and practice with many wonderful teachers and I’m grateful to be able to share this magic with others.
My classes are based on mindful movement, alignment and flow. They are playful and uplifting, yet meditative. Inspiration I find in music, dance and nature. My practice is also influenced by Vipassana Meditation, Ayurveda and Thai-Yoga massage but the biggest inspiration to me are my students of all backgrounds, shapes and sizes.
Currently I study the art of Zen Shiatsu at Zen Shiatsu Opleiding in Amsterdam.
