During my undergraduate days, back in Russia, I was looking for tools to deal with stage fright to help during my music performances. I found a book on yoga and it got me hooked. Yoga worked like magic – a few minutes of breathing exercises before the performance and I was good to go! This experience forever connected me to yoga and prompted me to explore the various aspects, styles, techniques and benefits yoga can bring. I credit a lot of my professional and personal successes to yoga, and in my classes I share my experiences and learnings with my students. I like blending styles to create a fresh, fun, deep and at the same time relaxing experience in every class. Having taught at companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Cisco, and IBM, I also specialize in using yoga to promote health and increase productivity in the corporate world.
