Hello there! I'm Zarina, a certified yoga instructor with a 500-hour certification and over 7 years of practice. My yoga journey started in my home country of Russia, where I was introduced to Hatha yoga through a foundational 100-hour training guided by an Indian Brahmin. I quickly became passionate about yoga and looked to expand my knowledge in my free time, practicing in-between my music and flute classes at university. I soon pursued further education in a European yoga school, learning under some of Russia's finest instructors. My teaching initially began in Russia, however after relocating to the USA in 2021, I gained experience in various yoga methodologies within different studios, including Everman studio, where I was able to craft my unique teaching style and grow my English teaching and speaking capabilities. Proficient in teaching both in Russian and English, I specialize in Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama, and Yoga Therapy. Central to my teaching ethos is the fusion of Hatha yoga and Vinyasa into a holistic practice of Vinyasa yoga flow. I emphasize a profound understanding of traditional Indian philosophy and its integration into yoga. Yoga has been a transformative force in my life, facilitating a deeper connection with my mind, body, and soul while restoring energy and cultivating inner peace. It taught me to approach life empirically and encouraged living in harmony with life's natural laws, grounding me in authenticity. It has been my anchor through challenges, aiding in mental tranquility, releasing physical tensions, and coping with insomnia, depression, and anxiety. My passion Is bringing to others the benefits of yoga that have shaped my life for the better, in so many ways.

Namaste - I'm Alayna, a seasoned globetrotter with roots woven between the shores of New Jersey, the vibrant heartbeat of New York City, and most recently, the beautiful beaches of Pensacola where I've been residing with my husband for the past three years.

Eight years ago, I took a leap of faith, bidding farewell to my finance career on Wall Street trading foreign currencies on a bank trading floor, and embarked on a transformative journey to the other side of the globe. A one-way ticket to Asia unfolded into a 14-month backpacking odyssey, leading me to the spiritual haven of Rishikesh, India. It was there, on the sacred banks of the Ganges River, that I studied under a local Swami (teacher) and earned my Hatha Yoga teaching certification.

Before this soul-searching adventure, meditation seemed like an impossible feat given my overactive mind, chronic anxiety, and years of undiagnosed depression. However, stepping out of my comfort zone, shedding deep, rigid societal expectations, and venturing to the birthplace of this ancient practice, I was able to not only learn the art of yoga, but I was able to tap into a hidden knowledge that exists within each of us, transforming my life profoundly.

In India, my studies covered the rich tapestry of yogic philosophy, asanas (yoga postures), Reiki (application of universal life force energy), the art of pranayama (breathwork), and mantra chanting in the ancient language of Sanskrit. Having traveled to nearly 40 countries and learning from teachers from around the world, I bring a global perspective to my teachings that I hope to share with you as you deepen your own practice on and off the mat.

With almost two decades of Vinyasa yoga practice under my belt, I love infusing my classes with a blend of Hatha and Vinyasa teachings, anatomical placement, pranayama, chakra knowledge, the deeply relaxing resonance of singing bowls, and the transformative power of the mind via meditation and visualization practices. Yoga has been my guiding light, and I'm eager to share this practice with you, inviting you on a journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being. We are all full of infinite potential. Shanti, shanti, shanti. ॐ
