About VIVI YOGA
Hey 👋
It’s nice to meet you and welcome to my Online Yoga Space.
But before we start let me introduce myself 😊
I come from the Kamchatka peninsula, with 8 years of life in Asia and already 9 years of experience in yoga and mindfulness meditation, as well as 9 years of studying and practicing Ayurveda.
At 15 I started a model career to be able to explore the world and gain some money for my dreams. And there started my journey, I learned many things while being just on my own. They taught me how to walk, how to pose, how to present yourself, and without yoga, I wouldn’t be able to reach all these results I’ve reached.
Many people think that a model job is very easy and very well paid. Well, the second is right, but to be paid well you have to work well and it’s not an easy job. You have to be very resistant, and very strong physically and mentally. You have to be just perfectly shaped but also healthy and positive.
And I had to do a big job on myself, to become that perfect. And I also realized that model success comes not only from your look but also from the way you feel inside. The more you are happy and satisfied more clients want to work with you.
And at 17 I started earning around $10.000 per month, working 24/7, sleeping 4-5 hours a day. I know very well what’s means hard diets. At that moment I was 45 kg with a height of 175 cm. There were moments when I was scared to eat salad, thinking it might make me gain weight. So I was not eating, working a lot, smoking, and sometimes doing some training to be sure I kept a small weight. So silly I was!
Two years later I fell in love with yoga. And everything starts changing then. After a year of practicing I start having healthy relationships with food, with my body, and with my life in general. And every year I felt only better. I quit smoking, I started eating without feeling guilty, and I wasn’t worried anymore about my shape. Also learned what means to be happy, just as you are, just by yourself. I realized that all this work on myself through yoga wasn’t only changing my body and mind, but my life started to change radically. I started meeting new special people, my dreams started to come true once I was only thinking about something. As if I had some special connection opened with the Universe.
And I understood what I would like to do after modeling… a Yoga Teacher. To help others to have the same experience as I had. To help them become healthier and happier through yoga practice.
So I closed all my model contracts, cut my long hair, and went to search for a new life. Again alone, traveling in Asia, I learned from Indian teachers the true ancient philosophy of yoga, and from American teachers a more scientific approach to yoga.
While exploring the world of yoga, I accidentally found myself. And together with finding myself I also found my soulmate. And my life changed in 360 degrees.
And here I am. Ready to share it with you. Even though my journey is not over, there is still so much to learn and understand.
Also, I am a young mom of two girls, and I gave birth naturally both of them using yogic techniques to prepare for natural birth-giving and healthy recovery after birth using yoga as well. And I can say it was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had ☺️ By the way, thanks to yoga both times it helped me to get pregnant as well as to love my body and feel myself sexy again after two pregnancies. But not only my body changed also my mind, as to be a parent is the hardest spiritual growth that without yoga would be much harder.
I am a very open person following an ethical, vegetarian, and sustainable lifestyle lifestyle🌱
As a Certified Yoga Teacher accredited by Yoga Alliance International, I am committed to continuous professional development through regular updates with additional courses and practices every three years. And for now, I’m certified in Hatha/Vinyasa Flow, Pre/postpartum yoga, Mindfulness meditation and much more is coming ;) Together with yoga, I'm studying Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medicine, to improve every aspect of my student’s well-being.
Right now I live in Italy, right in the center of Tuscany, where I host my yoga classes in person. So if you are going to visit Tuscany, don’t hesitate to contact me to join my class or just meet for a cup of coffee 😉
And let me guide you through such a beautiful life-changing journey as the ancient practice of yoga with a little modern view.
See you on the mat ❤️
