WORK EXPERIENCE

From April 2021 Yoga Teacher and Holistic Therapist & Coach

As a yoga teacher, I specialize in ashtanga vinyasa, yin yoga and philosophy. I teach both
online and in-person, practical and theoretical classes, in different locations internationally.
That includes all limbs of yoga, from the physical (asana) through the energetic (pranayama)
to the spiritual (meditation).

My therapy work encompasses mainly regressive hypnosis, emotional release techniques

(somatic and energetic) and holistic life coaching, integrating ayurveda, vegan nutrition,
astrology and human design. I also use shamanism in connection with deep ecology and
ecopsychology. Moreover, I have integrated all those disciplines into a 21h online video
course, for which I am currently producing a textbook.
