​Anastasiia commenced her yoga journey during high school, describing it as a soulful calling. Battling anxiety, eating disorders, and PTSD from a traumatic incident at the age of 12, she sought refuge in yoga, unsure of what to do or say and apprehensive about others' opinions.

 

Yoga evolved into a sacred space where she spent her days, practicing with teachers, volunteering, and introspecting. Recognizing the significance of that precious hour spent in a cozy yoga room, breathing consciously, and moving with intent, she realized its profound impact. Her journey led her to pursue yoga therapy at VSOHA, culminating in her becoming a yoga teacher in 2016 and a yoga therapist in 2023.

 

Seeking to deepen her practice, she specialized in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, completing her training in Kyiv, Ukraine, and furthering her education through courses and retreats across Europe. Teaching both online and in person, Ana developed a unique style blending a strong physical practice with breathwork and meditation.

 

In 2019, she founded the Women Circle "Devi Circle," hosting circles and retreats to help women reconnect with their inner wisdom through yoga, meditation, and indigenous practices.

 

Relocating to Vancouver in 2022, Ana attended 240YTT at VSOHA, followed by Yoga Therapy training, becoming a C-AIYT candidate therapist. Her journey came full circle as she decided to bring the transformative benefits of authentic yoga to the world, particularly aiding those dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. 

 

Currently teaching regular weekly classes in Vancouver, indoors and outdoors, Ana's therapeutic approach extends worldwide, assisting women in recovering from depressive episodes, healing wounds, finding their voices, and embracing the sacred feminine. Her interests lie in shamanic drumming, women's rites of passage, and the magical/spiritual aspects tied to natural cycles.Ana envisions inviting more women to explore their true nature, reconnect with their divine aspects, and foster connection and empowerment.
