My journey...

Body of Breath, Senses, Mind & Heart
                              – a Continuum of Being,
                                            Instrument of the Soul

Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda with Ivana, Norwich

Endless exploration with a deep love and reverence for these ancient teachings, my teachers, all the things known and unknown, mother nature, our innate nature and all about this Life, falling into wholeness and plenitude.

To me, this is the pathless path of spiritual life- the essence of life. It is a journey of healing, purifying, transformation, alignment and 

ultimately, self-realisation. And perhaps, it is simply about living our life and purpose from that place of knowing and being.

Areas of my studies include the practices and wisdom from traditional Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda.

I had, and still have, the privilege to learn and study for about 12 years now with Swami Atma Gyanam Saraswati from The Yoga Tree, Swami Nihchalananda and his team from Mandala Ashram, Katherine Girling & Everett Newell from Zuna Yoga,

Rod Stryker from Para Yoga, Myra Lewin from Hale Pule and many more.

Over the last decade, I have trained and certified (2100+ hours) in Traditional Hatha (Satyananda and Krishnamacharya traditions),

Tantra /Kundalini, Chakra, Kriya Yoga & Mantra/, Yoga Sutras, Yin & Restorative Yoga, Advanced Pranayama, Yoga Nidra,

Meditation & Ayurveda and have shared over 3000 hours of teaching.

All of these studies and most importantly my personal inner work and experiences have created a holistic approach to what I share and live…

At the core of my offerings lies an intention. So these teachings, which have been passed on and through me, will inspire your heart and mind to descend into the exploration of knowing yourself on deeper levels of your being.

You will be invited to welcome yourself into these practices as you are and start from this very place…

To slow down from the busyness of day-to-day life. To quieten our minds and to re-connect. To remember our innate nature which rests in effortless awareness.

For intensifying and, most importantly, sustaining this freedom and creative field through movement, awareness, breath,

subtle body practices and self-inquiry.

Whether it is healing, purifying, transforming, inspiring or tapping into the unknown I look forward to sharing with you.

I believe that with reverence and commitment to yourself, Yoga and Ayurveda reveal themselves through these timeless practices and allow us to receive its spark of insight, clarity and richness in this sacred life.

Weaving these threads together has been, and will continue to be, my life’s purpose and service to others.

When I am not practising, teaching or studying Yoga or Ayurveda, you will find me immersed in the simple joys of life. Walking in the woods, spending time with my favourite people, my cat Madhu (sweetness in Sanskrit), in the kitchen exploring  Ayurvedic cooking, looking after my indoor jungle (I have almost 100 plants!), gardening, playing harmonium, reading, taking photographs, knitting, crocheting and

being with All That Is-LIFE.
