The beginning of my path in yoga

My friendship with yoga began at an early age. I did gymnastics and spent long hours in the gym. I didn’t even know then that I was actually doing yoga. In fact, not in essence, because it was only one of the components of yoga – only one of its steps.

In the 80s, the doctrine of yoga was not widespread and it was not customary to talk about something spiritual, so all my training was limited only to physical exercises – asanas. I lacked depth and meaning in what I do. My search began already then.

I started my career as a student. I studied at the Faculty of Psychology, so my initial plans were related to psychotherapy. However, “something went wrong” and, as it turned out, the universe had other plans for me.

I became a classic “office plankton” with clear and understandable career goals. This is how I lived for 15 years!

My life went on and I continued to learn it, getting entangled and delving into the complex ups and downs that built around me Ego and Desires people around me and of course mine! After all, how else to know what is life without communicating with people and not experiencing and observing your feelings, reactions and actions?!?

It became more interesting to watch everything that was happening the more I immersed myself in the study of various spiritual sources of information. At first, these were attempts to understand the depth and meaning inherent in Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. This inevitably pushed me into a deep dive into the history of religions. And the Vedas became the final chord, which turned out to be the oldest source of information, including answers to absolutely all possible questions that I would not have in the field of self-knowledge.

The back is the support for the whole body. Back pain signals about uncertainty about the future, about taking on an “unbearable burden” and often about the fear of speaking out. I had all this with a vengeance, so a relapse with a lower back was not long in coming, aggravating the situation with a hernia and prostrations. This time it was an important incentive to think seriously and start focusing on yourself, and not a career.

By some miracle, yoga was nearby and I started with simple Surya Namaskar exercises. Gradually delving into the practice of yoga, I began to discover deeper knowledge related to the essence of yoga, with the deep meaning hidden in it.

And when the sacred connection between the Vedas and yoga was revealed to me, then, as they say, “all the stars fell into place.” In yoga, I found for myself what I was looking for since childhood! It contains health, and spirituality, and the secrets of the inner world and the meaning of the entire universe.

Having become a certified yoga instructor, I began to actively teach yoga and changed the usual life of an “office plankton” into a harmonious activity that benefits not only me, but also the people around me.

The hernia from yoga did not go away, but I learned to subtly feel my body, and now I know how to control it without pain and harm. I am constantly working on strengthening my body, understanding and accepting the deep (karmic) cause of my illnesses. This gives me the opportunity to live a healthier and more harmonious life.

Today I teach hatha yoga, pranayama and meditationclasses for children and adults, online and offline. I conduct retreats and tours in Asia and travel a lot, constantly continuing to study and get to know this life.

My back problem taught me to ACT and choose for myself how to relate to life – to enjoy or … . This is the main choice in my life I make every day!

In yoga practice, I place great emphasis on strengthening the back, because. I know for sure that first of all in life you need to find a SUPPORT. This is one of the most important tasks that I set myself in working with people.
