THE TEACHERS:
I am Veronika, originally from Slovakia. I have been living in Santorini since 2010. I attended my very first yoga class on vacation in Philippines, this was in 2009. I became a yoga teacher in 2012, I completed a 200 hours mindful yoga therapy course with Kathy Ward. Every year I work on deepening my education. I have a diploma in perinatal and baby yoga with Birthlight, I attended a training in yin yoga and numerous courses in yoga related to physiotherapy. In 2022 I competed my 500 hours certification with Jason Crandell.
I have been teaching retreats since 2013, usually at Caveland in Santorini as it is the place that I manage as a boutique hostel.
I usually teach hatha flow classes with an accent on alignment and eccentric strength.
