As a physiotherapist interested in body health my journey took me to Yoga. I started with Ashtanga yoga which changed my life completely and took me on an adventure with exploring and learning different yoga styles. After completing my first 200h TTC I meet the love of my life. Now we successfully, more than 4 years organize, lead and host Five Elements Yoga & Adventure Retreats in one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia, Rovinj.

Every day I'm learning and improving. Yoga for me is a way of living.

Teaching Specialties

As a student myself I can give and share what I know and discover... It can be some different move or thought or energy or the whole experience. The student is the one who will receive what they need at that moment. Sometimes you have one intention before class and in the end, it turns out totally different, it really depends on the whole energy of the class. The main principle of my yoga classes is CONCEPT OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS. Also, we developed FIVE MOVEMENTS exercises which cover all the elements, which are basic moves for a healthy body and meditative for the mind
