Grateful for the opportunity to keep teaching wherever we go (together with my children sometimes:)) and for wonderful people I meet through yoga 🤗!

Approximately every two years we move a house 💆‍♀️🥳 and I don’t usually know whether I can keep teaching classes in person at a new location. Every class feels like a gift and a miracle 🙏.

P.S. Mira helps me with head massages for students 🥹 and after the class sometimes asks me to do savasana for her too 🫶🏻.

Always beyond grateful that students trust me their parents 🤗🙏 .
It is forever inspiring to see people in theirs 50+ regularly practicing yoga/being physically active. They look/feel like they are made from a different matter. Their smiles and eyes are full of light and they remind me about “the why” ❤️.

The sweetest and simultaneously spine-chilling test for me as a yoga teacher & a person was teaching classes to military students 🥶😅.
The task was to help people to recover during a physically demanding week.
The challenge:
- every week I get a fresh group (as they do that program only for a week), most of them are beginners in yoga.
- I have to connect with the group quickly and based on the answers compose a variation of a sequence that I had in mind.
- I won’t have a second chance :).
- many people don’t stretch often but are physically capable. The sequence can’t be too soft/gentle/boring or too complicated/demanding.

After the first class I thought I’ll never teach it again 😬. It was a disaster (it wasn’t too bad and people enjoyed it but in my eyes it was a total fiasco 🤦🏻‍♀️). However, the best thing I did, and I will be forever grateful to myself for this 😄, was that I spoke to my manager about how I felt about my performance and about all my worries. I got a full 100% support from him and green light to try again next week. Which was, of course, a different experience. Every week I was improving the class with a big help from the team & it was the first time since my self-employed life when I wasn’t on my own with the task 🙏.

Communication and support/call for help are definitely the muscle that this class helped me to develop.

Mira, the Yamaste princess keeps adding her wild vibes to the party 😁. She also calls herself a Master Yoga:)). This age is beautiful, she comes up with endless funny and wise stories… I’ll try to remember a touch of her little palm, cute bear hugs and her bossiness for as long as possible 🫶🏻.

2017-2024 is a period when I pulled myself in many directions and made many areas in my life challenging and progress in those areas slow.

I always wanted to have kids and I am lucky to be a mum/a friend to my beautiful children ❤️ but I had no idea that It DOES take a village to raise a child 🙌.

Due to my husband’s work travels we changed 4 towns and two countries since Alex, my oldest, was born in 2018. My family lives in Russia, my husband’s family lives in Canada (we had maybe 4 dates in total in these last 5 years 🙈).

I am grateful for all friends, neighbors, child minders and even school assistants who were/are there for me and my children when I needed a hug and a serious help the most 🙏!

Teaching yoga is my passion, every class is like a magic pill. I love seeing happy smiles at the end of the class. It brings me more happiness than thoughts about “let’s create a product and sell it online…”, although, again, I know people who do both.
I AM GRATEFUL for everyone who came to my class (in person and online) and reminded me that this is what I want to do for a living for the rest of my life (it does sound a bit dramatic 😅, I know).

Nature❤️. I promise, I haven’t used a single filter 🙌.

To be honest when it comes to dreams and goals, I want everything right NOW, just like my 3 years old daughter 🙈.
Nature, on the other hand, always reminds me that every stage of any cycle of life is important, and skipping the “boring part” steals all the sweetness.
