This is my story
I want to tell you what led me to regular and deep yoga and tantra practice
This was my life before
After graduation, I found myself disconnected from my body and inner state, experiencing physical tension, pain, and a sense of emotional heaviness while adapting to a new life and intense studies at medical university.
Looking back, I see that my awareness was limited, as if my perception was dimmed, and I had lost connection with my own desires and inner voice.
During my first year at the university, something shifted. I felt the need to reconnect with myself, not only physically, but on a deeper level.
This is how my path began, through a simple yoga class, which gradually opened the doorway to body awareness, energy, and inner exploration.
My first acquaintance with yoga and tantra
I remember my first meeting with Munusami Madhavan, my teacher of philosophy and pranayama. There was a quality in him that felt luminous, almost otherworldly. What I perceived then as something extraordinary, I later came to understand as the natural expression of a cultivated state, the result of consistent practice and inner work.
Over time, I began to recognize the same shift within myself. There are no secrets,only regular practice, devotion, and the gradual refinement of awareness and energy. For me, yoga has always been rooted in inspiration and love for my teachers.
A year later, I traveled to India, where my path deepened beyond Hatha and Vinyasa into pranayama, meditation, and the philosophical foundations of Tantra. During this time, I undertook multiple pilgrimage journeys within the Shaiva and Shakta tantric traditions, engaging in meditation and ritual practices.
These experiences became a profound foundation for my personal insights and the development of intuitive perception, which I now integrate into my teaching and methodology working with body, awareness, and subtle energy as a unified field.
I also studied Yoga Therapy at the school of Artem Frolov, bringing a scientific and therapeutic dimension into my work.
Among my closest teachers are Ilya Zhuravlev and Mikhail Baranov, whose teaching draws from the Kriya Yoga lineage of Lahiri Mahasaya, as well as elements of Shaiva Siddhanta.
My Sanskrit and philosophy teacher Yulia Gauri represent the Shaiva tantric tradition, emphasizing direct experience, awareness, and the recognition of consciousness, she continues to guide and support my understanding and practice to this day.
More about me
"As a doctor, I have always been fascinated by the brain and nervous system, developing rehabilitation programs for people after stroke in a clinical setting.
Later, my focus shifted toward meditation and the exploration of consciousness through a tantric approach — working with the body, awareness, and subtle energy. Supported by over 17 years of personal practice, this path integrates both scientific understanding and direct inner experience".
I am an MD and a teacher of Tantra, yoga, and meditation, with over 15 years of dedicated study and personal practice rooted in the Shaiva and Virashaiva traditions of India, as well as in Buddhist meditation lineages.
My work integrates Buddhist mindfulness, tantric principles, and somatic awareness — supporting the release of emotional and physical blocks, activation of subtle energy, and deeper connection with the body and consciousness.
As a teacher, I co-create tantra retreats, work with individuals and couples on intimacy and connection, and facilitate conscious spaces and ritual-based experiences across Ukraine, Europe, and Bali.
I also lead a certified Tantra Yoga Teacher Training (RYT), bringing together embodied tantra, classical yoga, and modern therapeutic approaches into a unified, experiential practice.
My background includes over 300 hours of practice in traditional Buddhist meditation centers across different lineages, including the Sayadaw tradition (Anapanasati & Satipatthana with Sayadaw U Tejaniya), the S. N. Goenka Vipassana tradition, and the Thai Forest Sangha (Ajahn Chan Subhaddo).
My psychological foundation includes:
– Medical university training with 2 years of physiotherapy
– Gestalt Therapy (Level 1)
– Somatic trauma work based on the approach of Peter Levine (Level 1)
– Certification in Integral Psychology (including trauma healing, family constellations, regression, and symbolic work)
Yoga background:
- YTT 500 hours "Yoga 108", Moscow, Russia
- YTT 500 hours "HOM", Ubud, Bali
- YTT 200 hours KYMandiram, Chennai, India
I am a founder and methodologist of the Shanti training school of yoga-therapy in Ukraine since 2016 and a top world expert-educator in Yoga Teacher Trainings in the best world schools in Bali and Thailand (East West, Sama yoga, The Istana Aylan school) since 2019, a facilitator of the professional meditation and yoga retreats around Indonesia, Europe and Asia, for over 15 years.
How my life has changed now
Today I have become as radiant and healthy as my teachers, who once inspired me to take the path of yoga and tantra.
Through my practice, I was able not only to restore balance in the body and release long-held patterns of tension, but also to transform my inner state — moving beyond limitation, fear, and inherited conditioning through tantra meditation and pranayama. This path gradually unfolded into a deeper process of integration,where body, awareness, and energy began to work as one.
Over time, this led to the creation of my own projects — a tantra yoga school for students and teachers, with a community extending across Europe, Asia, USA and beyond.
Today I live between Bali and Europe, continuing my work in tantra & yoga education, sharing this approach both in person and online with people around the world.
If you ask me how this level of vitality and presence became possible, I would say it is not a miracle it is the result of consistent practice, devotion to the path, and the transmission received from my teachers.
My mission is to awaken inner Shakti and guide conscious embodiment
Through movement, asana, meditation, pranayama, and tantric-based work, combined with scientific understanding, I support processes of healing and integration — and this is what I truly enjoy.
I love offering people the opportunity to touch the living tradition of yoga and the deeper wisdom of India, which I feel as my spiritual home, as well as other powerful places around the world.
Through these experiences, they can reconnect with their true nature, awaken their inner energy,
and feel a deeper sense of unity with themselves and the world around them.
Perhaps my greatest joy is guiding people toward vibrant health, deep awareness,
and the discovery of their inner power.
I support a way of living rooted in trust, presence, and alignment with the natural flow of life, beyond fear, limitation, and habitual patterns of the mind.
I love to share the practices and pathways that have shaped my journey, opening the heart, awakening the body, and deepening the connection to inner wisdom and subtle energy.
