I do not offer rapid transformation, however I offer a place where people can work at their own pace. Some of us need speed, some of us need time to get where we ought to be, and so the same practice looks different for everyone. As an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher I often hear that the same practice cannot take us to new places, when in fact there are multiple layers of life we can experience if we open ourselves up to subtle levels of life.

With that in mind there are still people that I know what I teach and how I teach is not suitable. This is because we are certain energies and there are frequencies that match and frequencies that don't. I am respecting that law in the Universe and encourage my students to not judge yoga based on one experience. We can keep going until we find a teacher who is suitable and a practice that serves us at each stage.

Because of this I teach Ashtanga Yoga not in an orthodox way. I respect that we all have different bodies, sizes and limitations therefore in my classes I offer modifications and I always approach each student with compassion in my heart. Only when the student is ready we progress and even then I am serving as a motivator to find healthy effort in the practice. Never force that can cause damage.

I will help you build a personal and safe practice that you can trust and commit to no matter where you are. I will teach you about your body and how to understand it and work with it, but most importantly how to cherish it and love it. I want to make you feel good in your skin, powerful in your everyday, so you can wake up and fulfill whatever your dharma (duty) is.

I am teaching classes focusing on mobility, highlighting the importance of the subtle body (energetic body) and explaining how to work with it. I find breath the most important aspect of my own practice, the best guide, and a very powerful tool in my daily life so I will always incorporate Pranayama (breath control) in my classes.

I built Karuna Yoga because I want to share my knowledge and also build a community of like-minded people. I always found friends in the yoga community, and I believe it's a beautiful way to connect with each other. I value every Karuna member and hope that we can support each other not only in our yoga practice but in life as well.

Come get to know me in one of my group classes in the studio, or join our online classes and community. Feel free to ask questions in the forum here or write an e-mail to me personally! 

I hope to see you and get to know you more soon,

Veronika

Yoga helped me to grow as a persona nd to be more aware of myself and life around me. It assisted in my spiritual growth. And it does, continuously. I meet beautiful and inspiring people in the community and I feel most in my element when I have a regular practice going on in my life. Yoga helps me tremendously as a performer and going through actor training I noticed so many similar techniques. But I feel regardless of what one's profession is, yoga can and will support every individual on their path.
