History
My career in LA started in 2011 with working as a pilates teacher in a private pilates studio. I continued expanding my skillset by taking a 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training with Rudy Mettia in 2013. This enabled me to dive deeper into therapeutic movement, mindful breathing, and life philosophy. Throughout the next several years, I continued growing my therapeutic skillset by taking part in immersive training and continuous workshops in Five Element Thai massage with Sarah Vosen and Sarah Yovovich. In 2019 I got certified in cupping therapy - the infamous blue circles on your back :) I personally find fire cupping as one of the best ways to release stagnant energy from the body. My most recent therapeutic bodywork discovery is using assisted active stretching that requires deep breathing and core activation. In other words, you get to efficiently train and stretch the muscles at the same time.
Specialties
I am fluent in Russian and English. Vinyasa Yoga , Acro Yoga, Yin Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Thai massage, Cupping therapy, Breath work, and Meditation.
