Practice across borders
Students join us live and through recordings from different cities and countries.
I discovered that I could practise the yoga I love online. It is incredibly convenient: if the time difference kept me from joining in the morning, I could always take the recorded class. Alexey makes the material accessible and creates a warm atmosphere.
Natasha KudryavtsevaStockholm, SwedenI appreciate the welcoming way the classes are taught, the simple exercises that gradually become more challenging and the freedom to practise at any time. I practise every day and feel renewed afterwards.
Natalia FadinaMoscow, RussiaOnline practice feels like being with a teacher without leaving home. One class settles my mind; another gives me energy that lasts for days.
