ごあいさつ

Hello! I’m Zhenya, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my journey in yoga with you. With over 15 years of personal experience and certification as a yoga and English instructor, I’ve learned that yoga is an ever-evolving practice that offers endless opportunities for growth and discovery. It has brought me a sense of fulfillment and resilience, but I believe that the journey is ongoing.
In my classes, I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable exploring their own paths. I cherish the interactions with my students, as they continually teach me about different perspectives and experiences. It’s this beautiful aspect of yoga that fascinates me—the way we learn from one another and grow together.
I focus on helping my students build physical strength, flexibility, and balance while nurturing mindfulness and relaxation. I encourage everyone to listen to their bodies and honor their unique journeys, understanding that each person’s experience is valuable.
My interest in yoga philosophy and its impact on our emotional and mental well-being guides my teaching. I’m excited to learn and discover alongside you, and I look forward to fostering a sense of community through our shared practice. Let’s embark on this beautiful journey of learning together!
