OUR PHILOSOPHY 

About Yoga Class

Every class is unique and is designed in response to the energies of the day with one theme, one intention and one peak pose per session

The structure of the class:

1. We start by having a moment of silence and centring ourselves 

2. We then use the energy breathwork, known as pranayama, which is the KEY to our practice, to activate all chakras or energy points. We love Ujjayi Pranayama and Dragon Breath, which we encourage to use throughout the practice for the best results.

3. We warm up with balanced set of stretches, with counter-poses in mind, which we hold for up to 3 breaths or 30 sec each, or do reps, to get our body mind and spirit ready for the practice 

4. This is followed by vinyasa flow in seated position, standing sun salutations, or warrior inversions in hatha, depending on a day to work on back, front and sides of our body towards the peak pose

5. The yoga practice finishes with Shavasana or Yoga Nidra guided meditation to reboot our system and get ready for a glorious day ahead or for a good night sleep depending on the time of the practice ☀️

Intention for each practice is to release heavy emotions that hold us back through exhale, and replace them with clean light energies on inhale, transforming them into magical air and positive vibes around us ✨

 Yoga is your own practice and we encourage you to listen to your own physical, emotional and spiritual bodies  and respond to it by following each asana movement to your best abilities in a mindful and meditative way

Namaste 🙏

Once yoga calls out to you - you embark on your own spiritual journey of inner peace and unity between mind, body and spirit leading to feeling healed, focused, balanced and fully restored

About Yoga Instructor 

Hi, my name is Elena Dana, and it is my personal pleasure to welcome you here to my virtual space!  🙏

My Story of Yoga has started in New York city, USA, at the open-air community yoga class, under the skyscrapers, back in 2008, when the yoga instructor by the same name as mine, Elena, was giving a unique opportunity to all the participants to connect to their own body and movement. 

I think this was the first yoga class when I wasn't rushed, confused or asked to do more than my body mind and spirit was capable of at the time. This was the moment I discovered the true healing power of this incredible practice. I felt a strong energetic shift, as if my whole mindset was reset and nervous system rebooted. I saw the skies as though for the first time. The feeling was elevating!

Ever since then I started attending similar practices in London where I was based at the time, in search of the same feeling. I then discovered the science of yoga and different practices offered, realising that yoga is more than just a physical exercise! 

This type of healing yoga practice helped me a great deal in accessing my authentic self, focus better and navigate my life choices to the healthier outcomes. I was determined to learn more, and to become a certified yoga instructor was now my dream - until one day it became a reality! 

During quiet times at the beginning of 2020, when  I was based in The Hague, I was happy to discover a wonderful House of Om Yoga School in Bali, philosophy of which has deeply resonated with my practice and beliefs during my travels in early 2000:

In 2007 I quit my full time job at the marketing department for the TV channel, and went travelling around the world because I was curious about other cultures. The journey turned into my spiritual quest and the road-trip leading me all the way back home to myself. 

Travelling around gorgeous India, Rajasthan and Goa, Pushkar, Agra and Jaipur, I was connecting profusely to the nature and the spiritual side of human soul. I saw the sunrise at the top of the camel fair - only to be invaded by the army of monkeys! 

Right after India, I took a leap of faith and gently but steadily stepped into yet another dream of mine - South America! I saved up for a couple of months temping around the city, and bought a ticket to Lima, the capital of Peru. The view from the plane was stunning! The mountains colour was surreal! My plan was to learn Spanish so I ended up living with a local family in Cusco, for a month, surrounded by the glorious mountains of Machu Picchu. The energies of the place were intoxicating. 

From Peru I travelled across South America with the most spirited GAP group of all times, all the way to Brazil for the Rio Carnival. After gazing at the magnificence of Iguazu Falls we went via Bonito, diving into divine waters of its many waterfalls. 

Together we burned our faces at the Bolivia Salt Lake and discovered the jungles of Amazonia while staying in the wooden cabins in the middle of Amazon Rainforest. This is also where I experienced the most vicious mosquito bites! 

During mid 2000s I toured the USA and most of the UK with my original songs, while being based in the UK, London. My base later shifted from England to Scotland, then to the Netherlands with the travels through Scandinavia and much of Europe. Graced by the magic of Florence, Venice and Paris and the fresh energies of the rest of Europe I channeled the beauty of the world right into my heart. 

After receiving my House of Om Yoga instructor certification in 2022 much of my yoga practice has been held in Peyia, Paphos, via Aya Napa and Limassol, Cyprus. Now located in the beautiful part of Nicosia, Aglantzia forest area, I share my energies with unique individuals who truly appreciate the transformative power of healing.

If the healing practices of yoga is something you are familiar with or wish to discover during our integrated transformative sessions, then please don't hesitate to reach out and together we will design a bespoke individual healing plan suitable for your own very needs, goals and aspirations!  

Namaste 🙏
