my story
I first came into contact with alternative ways of living and thinking in 1992. After the Velvet Revolution, literature on Eastern philosophies that I had not been familiar with before appeared on our market. I was captivated by the teachings of Osho, the Dalai Lama, and books about journeys to the East.
...but first, I will start writing my story from the very beginning...
From the age of 7, I grew up abroad. My father worked in foreign trade and the whole family moved to his place of work. I lived in a diplomatic residence with other residents from different parts of the world. For a child from a small town, discovering foreign cultures was an amazing experience.
After graduating from high school in 1989, I started working and began my career. Thanks to my knowledge of foreign languages, I had quite a large selection of interesting job offers in the 1990s. I spent my days in the luxurious office of a foreign company and felt happy. At a relatively young age, I worked my way up to interesting positions. From assistant to the CEO to technical and managerial positions in a multinational company. As my career grew, so did my ego and sense of self-importance. I lived in a bubble of "abundance," but I still didn't understand why I wasn't happy.
In 1996, my dream of traveling to India came true, and it changed my priorities and values in life. Superficiality, a fast-paced lifestyle, materialism, and the pursuit of happiness suddenly seemed meaningless to me. I realized how lucky I was to have everything I needed and not have to fight for "survival" every day.
This feeling has stayed with me and to this day gives me the strength and motivation to work on myself. To cultivate the positive aspects of my mind, soul, and body, which benefit not only me but also those around me.
During one of the most difficult periods of my life (in 2012), I discovered Kundalini yoga, which brought me immediate relief. My life began to change the moment I started working on my inner self.

During the pandemic, I stopped exercising completely. After a year's break, I realized that my body and mind were wasting away. And since my favorite yoga class hadn't reopened, I started practicing on my own. Within a year, our group had grown to 14 people.

In 2023, I completed the Basic Yoga Instructor Course at Improve Academy Prague and obtained my first yoga instructor certificate. Our teacher Olga guided us through the basics of Raja yoga and classical yoga, including energy work.
Currently, yoga has become a daily necessity for me. I teach several courses and classes, ranging from yoga for body and mind harmony, Kundalini yoga, and children's yoga for young soccer players from PFA to yoga in the park. Since Kundalini yoga is closest to my heart, I am continuing my studies at the Gian Institute in the Netherlands to obtain an international Kundalini yoga teacher certificate under the Yoga Alliance (RYT).
What has yoga given me?
I feel happy and content, I wake up in the morning with joy
I can recognize my limits and I don't let myself be subjugated by the demands of those around me
I have accepted my own and other people's "flaws" that I have struggled with in my life
I have improved my relationships with my children, husband, and entire family
I have enough energy and strength to handle my daily responsibilities
I have broken free from the role of victim and taken full responsibility for my life
I follow my intuition when making decisions
I have tamed my ego and am able to recognize its positive aspects as a helper

I will be happy to share my life experience and knowledge with you in yoga classes, which you can find in OFFER.
