The Yoga Formula

Online Yoga Classes are BACK! DM to book! I specialise in Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

I am a skilled and certified yoga instructor with the ability to build effective relationships with students of all backgrounds and skill levels. I have more than 5 years of teaching experience and more than 10 years of personal practice, studying meditation and spiritual practices. I had a chance to study with first-class teachers in Mexico, Indonesia and Thailand. My lessons are built in accordance with students' preferences, goals and general health. I work with different problems from back pain to flexibility to stress or anxiety relief. If preferred, meditation, breathing or Kriya can be incorporated into the practice. I have been studying nutrition for many years and am a co-owner of a raw vegan cafe. So, I will be happy to assist with the nutrition or detox plan.

We all, to some extent, live in an illusory world…

In childhood, our psyche simply cannot cope with certain situations, so it has no choice but to come up with a defence mechanism. Unfortunately, as we adulting, these mechanisms start working against us.

But facing reality is painful, and a person can live in illusion for a very long time…If the illusion wasn’t too profound, coming back would probably feel like realising Santa Claus doesn’t exist. But if the illusion was complex and deep, then breaking free from it would feel more like being pushed off a cliff….

The soul came to experience reality, and avoiding it is cheating, so life will hint and push you towards reality in various ways 👁️

It’s good if you can hear the nudge while it’s gentle, because if not, life will still push you, only each time the push will be harder.

How many stories have you heard of people changing their lives only when they hit rock bottom, got sick or lost something or someone dear?

There’s no point in waiting; go where the fear is, because beyond fear lies freedom.

Freedom from illusion.

And the greatest illusion of all is that illusion is better than reality.

So, I ran a marathon... how was it? Well, bet you expected a story about how I overcame the biggest challenge in my life, conquered my fears, and returned a new human being. Well, not to upset you, but that’s not my story. I had to think a lot about why it wasn’t hard and why it felt… normal? And we’re gonna skip the topic of self-underappreciation here and move straight to how the mind works.

I didn’t know how it feels to run 42km; I didn’t train a lot and didn’t read a lot. Thus, I had no expectations, no deep contemplation about its meaning – my mind was just not wired for such things. I tried to follow my friend’s advice to ponder why I am doing it and hit a dead end; there was no profound reason. I simply wanted to run, and I wanted it to be easy because, let’s be honest, I don’t like hard things. No, I don’t believe in hard things.

So, at 5:45 am, I woke up, got ready, and just went…

Inversions are tricky! Not only do they require a significant amount of balance and strength, but they are also simply scary! I mean, how natural is it for us to be upside down? I get it! And on top of that, you need to breathe and get the alignment right! But one thing I love about yoga is that you can start small, and then you won't even notice how fast your body adapts to doing things that seemed so scary just a moment ago. Here are the tips on how to overcome the fear of inversions:

1. Strengthen core, shoulders, arms, and back first
2. Practice balancing poses
3. Use props and wall support
4. Listen to your body
5. Practice regularly

I've always believed that in a world with so many options, you need to return to the basics, to the origins. That's why yoga, that’s why raw diet.

Yoga, originating in ancient India over 5,000 years ago, represents for me the essence of spiritual and ascetic practices. The same principle applies to food: what did we eat when there was nothing else? What is the most natural diet for us? Fruits, leaves, roots, nuts - these are the basics I focus on.

So, let me introduce myself...
I'm Kristina, and for as long as I can remember, I've been into eating healthier, boosting my brain's performance, and staying fit. Believe me, I've tried nearly everything out there. Not all of it was healthy, though... but that's a story for another post…

Soooo... who am I? I'm a holistic wellness instructor who firmly believes that being healthy is both easy and fun and I am here to show you how. It's not just a passing trend; it's a way to respect yourself, look awesome, and stay sane in this insane world. So, here I am, finally deciding to share all the knowledge I've gathered through more than 15 years of self-trials.

With my regulars, I often teach meditations/mindfulness sessions in a state of flow, so the direction can be unpredictable.

At times, it's sparked by the client's words, sometimes by events in my life. Yet, there are instances when the subject emerges so spontaneously that even I have to ask myself how did we get there…Funny enough, the client often has the answer.

You see, meditation is your way to get the answers, and the instructor is merely a conduit. So even if I might not understand why a particular piece of information arises, it's usually clear to the client.
