“ The center of my classes is always breath. The goal is to practice presence, to create space and just be. It is pure magic to be able to break free from the drive to constantly do and want, even if for a few minutes a day in the beginning. This is where the deepest healing happens. ”

Alyona is a wellness educator, teacher of spirituality, specializing in breathwork, meditation and yogic movement. Her work is dedicated to raising frequency of the collective consciousness through sharing practices that support wellbeing on physical, mental, emotional and subtle levels. Her teaching is informed by the idea that wellbeing is wholeness; it is where mind, body, heart and soul come together; to enrich your experience of life and discover the depths and heights of the subtle/highest self one is to journey within. In this journey, breathing techniques, yogic movement and meditation are beautiful invaluable tools. Through these practices, we are able to align all aspects of our being, bringing our mind, heart/soul and body in unison; the quality and experience of life improves and magic happens.
