Over the years I have worked in different industries, I had a little cafe in the Triskel, worked in advertising for over 15 years with the Irish Examiner & The Sunday Independent, great experiences and busy days. I had always been encouraged at home to try new things, and I was lucky enough to meet a great yoga teacher, along the way. I was encouraged me to attend different classes in my travels with work, try different styles of yoga and bring yoga into my daily life. I knew I wanted to deepen my yoga practice and decided to complete my 200hr training. Later, I continue to train with amazing teachers, Josh Summers in Yin Yoga, Sonia Sumar, in Special Needs Yoga. Sonia helped with with my own practice as well as inspiring me to bring yoga to everyone. My hope is that my students enjoy yoga as much as I do!

Nikolina Popovic (+385 87 266 3245) I am a certified yoga teacher hatha and astanga yoga. I have been practicing yoga for more than 25 years, and for the last 15 years I have been working and teaching people helping them to find their true inner being, to get rid of negative feelings that take away their life energy and helping them to release unnecessary suffering that results from losing contact with their authenticity. As a certified meditation techer, NLP Coach, Wingwawe couch, Life Couch, Shamanic healer, therapist according to the Fillis Kristal method, Teacher of energy yoga and conscious breathing, Yin Shin method I have rich experience in supporting people in solving long-term traumas, emotional blockages and physical ailments caused by emotional energy suppressions. Through my yoga classes I combines all this knowledge and helps students to establish contact with their inner states through introduction to presence, and in this way helps them to release suppressed emotional memories. Although I have integrated all this knowledge into yoga practice through my oun experience I deeply relies on the traditional teachings of the great yoga teachers B. K. S. Iyengar and T. K. V. Desikachar and old spiritual scripts. This approach to yoga has shown excellent results for the participants because even after a short practice they are able to feel not only physical improvements, but also internal changes, a brighter outlook on life, letting go of fears, gratitude and opening to life and love. I lead classes with complete dedication and love, unreservedly sharing my experiences. I am also an autor of spiritual book “Yes, life loves you too” published in Serbia and Croatia. If you called to join you’re inner journey, if you wont to know your true nature you are more then welcome.
