Hello and welcome to my humble page. I’m so glad you’re here!
 
My name is Kristina, and I’m a Vienna-based Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher and Breathwork for Mental Health facilitator with a background in choreography studies and ballet teaching. 
 
I came to yoga in 2013 as an injured, mature dancer. Due to a manor operation, I was unable to fully participate in the dance classes that I was enrolled in. However, I knew I wanted to keep moving and maintain my flexibility while I was healing. I saw yoga as the best tool for that. Little did I know how much I would come to love the practice. However, it was not the asanas (poses) alone that got me so addicted to this ancient practice, but how practising yoga and the use of breath quietened my mind and always brought me into the present moment. I deeply feel that the practices of yoga also support me in managing my Ulcerative Colitis, which I have been living with for the past 18 years. 
 
Yoga is a significant part of my everyday life, helping me stay calm and balanced, and deal with any stress or tension. In my yoga classes, the focus is on the breath, accessibility, and safe, mindful movement. I hold the belief that yoga is for everyone. Therefore, I do my best to offer pose modifications, and I encourage the use of props. Most importantly, though, I encourage my students to listen to their bodies and to pause if something doesn’t feel right. 
It is important to remember that every person's body is different and that we all have to work with what Mother Nature has gifted us with. 

As a yoga teacher, I feel I achieved my most important aim when my students leave my class feeling peaceful, nurtured, uplifted and relaxed.
