The teacher behind the practice

Before I ever cued a breath or counted a rep, I was a teacher. I studied biology and physics and went on to earn a master's degree in renewable energy — a field built entirely around one idea: energy is never lost, only transformed. That idea never left me. It is exactly how I see the body.

Somewhere between the classroom and the mat, movement became my second language. I trained, I taught, I kept learning — and I found that the women around me did not need another voice telling them to push harder or shrink smaller. They needed someone to make strength feel safe, and stillness feel earned.

Today I split my time between the gym and the studio: strength and personal training on one side, group yoga and breath on the other. Plovdiv is home. So is the in-between — the place where effort meets ease, and where you start to feel, maybe for the first time in a while, genuinely at home in your own body.
