Lavinia continues to explore all things yoga, acrobatics, strength training and movement on a regular basis. After practicing Ashtanga Yoga primary and intermediate series on a daily basis for couple of years, she is now investing her time into exploring modern Vinyasa and Handbalancing, as well as strength training and biking. She wants to use all the diverse knowledge accumulated through time and experience into creating effective and inspiring classes for her students that bring balance, strength, health, insight and growth. She teaches her own yoga style, a combination of the various styles she practiced and researched throughout time, going from dynamic and strength based to relaxing and gentle. Classes are a mix of strength, coordination, challenge and mobility for a healthy body and mind in the modern world. She believes that variety is key to keep ourselves healthy and inspired, to keep learning, growing and improving our physical and mental fitness. Her focus is on useful and healthy practice always adapted to the unique modern individual. She equally values practices, such as yin and restorative yoga, as well as breath work and meditation. Regardless of the techniques used, Lavinia’s classes invite at moments of mindfulness, awareness, reflection and strength of mind through moving our body and connecting to our breath. In addition to the group classes, Lavinia teaches private and semi-private yoga, PT focused on strength training for yogis, mobility and skills development, as well as corporate/office yoga.
