About
Photography by Caro Aubry
Alya is a seasoned yoga teacher with over 600 hours of training in Vinyasa and Jivamukti and over 7 years of teaching experience. Of Moscow origin, she first came into contact with yoga through her employer’s gym offerings. What first seemed to be a fun workout has gradually developed into a holistic lifestyle.
Alya’s goal is to spread the teachings of the dharma and to encourage the shift from the egocentric and anthropocentric lifestyle towards a kinder, more compassionate, diverse, and inclusive world for all sentient beings.
In her skillfully crafted vigorous Jivamukti classes you develop listening skills and concentrate on a conscious connection between your breath and body movements. You will be encouraged to gradually develop your practice in facing obstacles and to explore the potential for growth both physically and mentally.
