HATHA | MEDITATION | YOGIC PHILOSOPHY
September 2008 was the time when Ana took part in her very first yoga class. And it turned out to be the first step in a long journey.
A journey which eventually led her away from family, friends, job and city life and to the Delhi International Airport. She came to India to take part in a YTTC which was held under the personal guidance of Guruji Bal Mukund Singh (Morarji Desai National Yoga Institute in Delhi, India).
After course she decided to stay in the Himalayas of Northern India to deepen her practice of yogic science and get some teaching experience. Though it’s been just a few years it felt like a lifetime. Pure life how it's supposed to be – where nothing is permanent, where everything could be a meditation: from silent Vipassana to dynamic Osho dance.
Since 2013 she started to discover the power and energy of massage techniques and Ayurvedic knowledge. Ana had a great opportunity to be a member of Himalayan Zen School in Rishikesh and assist Swami Prem Adeh – great Zen teacher and massage therapist. With an everyday practice alongside Master Prem Adeh - she was learning how to bring energies into the balance, leaving the mind completely immersed in a serene state. With this serene state of being, her wish to help people to clearly see their true nature, which is originally pure.
After finishing her contract work with Zen School Ana left India and for the next 2 years was traveling around Europe, North Africa, and Russia with classes, workshops and yoga tours. She never stop learning from her incredible students and from teachers she had the honor to work with.
“Yoga truly has changed my assemblage point, my practice every day teaches me to see the world, people, circumstances in different ways. It teaches me how to see the infinite magnificence and beauty in each creation; to live in the present moment and to be open to life’s flow; to get rid of fear and illusions and to learn to trust yourself, as well as the people and space around you.
I am not a supporter of the belief that "Yoga is for everyone". I believe that those who have a strong intention, clear understanding, and willingness to work without excuse can gain great results from yoga practice and increase the effectiveness of their lives.
This is not entertainment. It can be tough, challenging, frustrating. But, if one is looking for something deeper than just using asanas to improve the shape of the body or follow the latest fitness trends, then I will be happy to take your hand and join you on this journey. It is worth it.”
