My yoga journey with Ivana started just 14 months ago at a time in my life when I was feeling anxious, without focus and deeply unhappy. I soon realised from my once a week class that yoga was beneficial in so many ways, great for both the body and the mind and that it is virtually impossible to be unhappy whilst practising or whilst around Ivana, who can only be described as like a ray of sunshine!
After a while, I decided to do Ivana's Delve Deeper, which she tailored to my needs and involved weekly one-to-one lessons, specific flows, pranayama and meditation practices. It was the step I needed to take to fully commit to my practice and the results have been life changing.
I now attend pretty much every class I can and through Ivana have become involved with other yogis in Kirtan and Satsang sessions. I am even going to be attending a yoga Ashram later this year.
This is a truly wonderful journey and I am grateful to Ivana for her support and encouragement. Not only have I gained a wonderful teacher, but also a good friend.

'Not only is Ivana a wonderful teacher she is also a wonderful person. Her teaching is clear, calm and allows the student to learn at their own pace. But in addition what sets Ivana apart, I believe, is the care and compassion she gives so generously. I began my work with her during a time of some worry and she adapted some of our sessions to meet my needs at that time. Whether in a group session or one to one and whatever the stage of your yoga journey, I highly recommend Ivana.'

Delve Deeper: Yoga & well-being through the lens of Ayurveda
Ayu (Life) Veda (Knowledge) is the combination of balance and harmony of the body, senses, mind and soul.
Ayurveda is the most sacred science of life and sister science to Yoga. Ayurveda's concern is alleviating both bodily and mental diseases, and promoting both physical and psychological well-being. Yet, the ultimate goal of classical Ayurveda, like classical Yoga, is Self-realization - the highest form of Self-healing.
Ayurveda shows us how to attain optimal health as a wholesome foundation and sufficient energy to pursue the yogic quest.
Ayurvedic Yoga - a more therapeutic approach to practice.
There will be four primary goals:
1. to balance the doshas (doshas are what causes things to spoil or get imbalanced)
2. to improve the structural condition of the body
3. to facilitate the movement and development of prana (life force/energy)
4. to calm and energize the mind
These practices and mentoring will be all about adapting your asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath work), relaxation and meditation to your unique constitution. You will gain insight and, most importantly, learn how to apply the 4 pillars of health according to Ayurveda to your daily routine, diet and lifestyle.
4 pillars of Health:
1. Ahar - Diet (in Ayurveda we look at all that we consume through our 5 senses and nourishment through them)
2. Vihar - Ayurvedic lifestyle & routines
3. Nidra - Appropriate sleep
4. Brahmacharya - Management of our energy - both in our physical actions and in our minds
My deepest intention behind this offering of commitment to yourselves is that you gather knowledge and tools of knowing how to reclaim your time and, through it, reclaim your life full of vitality, radiance and sweet remembrance of your sacred Self. (read here about some of my Morning Routines)
What to expect:
-
1 Ayurveda Consultation (90 minutes)
-
1 private class (75 minutes) a week, 12 in total
-
Home practice/homework (depending on the individual)
-
Handouts available upon request
-
3 free entries to any of my weekly classes (excluding the special events and workshops)
Investment: £750

SWASTHA -One year-long journeying and guidance towards true health
‘Swastha’ – abiding in one’s natural state or true health ~ Swa - my own self, stha - to be situated
Welcome to the introduction to Swastha – a one-year-long journeying and personal guidance towards true health.
What inspired me to create this year-long journeying are two things. The first one, is hearing from my students, friends and even yoga teachers how difficult is to maintain a sustainable practice and to evolve with it. Despite all the great benefits our practice provides us, we may still experience resistance or lack of will to do it.
My desire is that this offering will help you to rekindle the fire of inspiration, willpower and trust (sraddha).
Recognise these processes of everyday living as opportunities and the way to help us become established in our true Self. Truly know how to look after our physical body, point our energy in the right direction, attention to our senses, contentment of mind and desire of our soul. These are the requirements of being in our balanced natural state – Swastha.
This is the promise and process of embodying this year-long offering. The commitment is YOURS.
It would be my sweetest honour to inspire and guide you on this journey of healing and self-expansion through the practices of Yoga and Ayurveda which I have been studying, living, and authentically sharing over the last decade.
What is included:
4 x 3 month long modules – Body, Prana, Mind & Soul
12 x 90 minutes private Yoga practices ~ we meet on a monthly basis
4 x Ayurvedic consultations, first one 90 minutes, 3x 60 minutes follow-ups scheduled throughout the year.
At the beginning of each module, you will receive a handout of asana practice and a recording of the pranayama and meditation so you can continue to practice at home. The next two sessions of the module will be all about delving deeper and refinement.
You will be introduced to Ayurvedic lifestyle and wellness practices to support your health, practices and day-to-day living in four Ayurvedic consultations spread throughout the year ~ we go with the pace that suits you.
My intention is that you commit to these practices and build up your own daily sadhana – a spiritual practice, that brings inner and outer evolution in the direction of true health and self-knowing – ‘swastha’.
Price
Investment in full is £1,108 upon your booking or 2 instalments of £650; the first is paid upon booking and the second needs to be paid before entering into module 3. The last option is to pay quarterly, with 4 instalments of £350, which would have to be paid before each module.

Ivana is an amazing soul to work with and gets you to exactly where you need to be by guiding you in the right direction. So intuitive.
Thank you .

Commit to your practice again and again.....
To know yourself as the being underneath the thinker,
the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain,
is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
