Visit Yoga on MainMila moves through a practice the way a gardener moves through a garden, patiently, attentively, with care for what is actually growing in front of her. She has taught yoga for more than twenty years, and her teaching carries all of it at once: the discipline of Ashtanga, the quiet of women's practice, the long view of philosophy, and the healing traditions she grew up with in Ukraine.
Her path began in Ukraine and has been shaped by Ayurveda, women's yoga practices, the folk healing of her Slavic heritage, and a steady study of yoga philosophy. She has led international retreats in Madagascar, Tunisia, Egypt, Greece, India, and the United States. A native Ukrainian and Russian speaker, she teaches privately in English or Ukrainian, and she shapes each class around the person on the mat rather than the other way around.
In her words
My work is to help people build a real connection with their own body and their own nature. I believe yoga can make for a happier, more honest life inside a family and a community, across whatever social, cultural, or religious lines might otherwise divide us.
I do my best to make the practice safe and rewarding. I ask each student to move with love and respect for the body, and to stay patient and attentive while we work through the practice together.
Let yoga be a key that opens understanding and acceptance of yourself.Mila
