If we talk about the official façade, I am the founder of the Kyiv Yoga Studio. I have been practising yoga since 1999 and teaching since 2000, and I am a world champion in yoga sport (Portugal, 2003, artistic yoga category). I am also an internationally certified yoga teacher (diploma of the International Yoga Federation).
From 2008 to 2016 I lived in Kathmandu, Nepal, near the Great Stupa of Boudhanath. There I earned my second university degree at Kathmandu University, at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery (abbot: Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche), as a Bachelor of Buddhist Studies and Himalayan Languages. So I know Buddhist philosophy and authentic practices first-hand. I regularly lead yoga seminars in Nepal, Turkey, Italy, the Baltic states, India and other countries. From 2016 I lived and worked in my native Kyiv, and in December 2018 I started teaching regular classes. When the war began in 2022, I moved and spent two years in southern Spain, and then emigrated to Germany.
Since 2018 I have been a practising psychotherapist (officially in the method of positive psychotherapy for now, although I study other approaches too). For me, though, psychology without Human Design makes little sense. So first of all I do a Human Design reading, to have a sound basis for the most important life decisions. I teach techniques of self-diagnosis and self-help. If you have a request, get in touch!
A few years ago I wrote a detailed autobiography, which you can read here.

Details coming soon…
Time, place and price are still being created by the Universe.
Once again you can expect the full spectrum: yoga practice, meditation, work on making your wishes come true and other psychological topics. And, of course, an introduction to Human Design!
If you want to know what you did in your past life, look at your present condition.
If you want to know your future, look at your actions today.

Online consultations
Working with your request in psychology as well as in yoga, Buddhism and the spiritual path in general. I suggest starting with a Human Design reading: many questions disappear once you understand your “mechanics”, and then working with the “content” becomes much easier!
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
