Yoga Alliance Professionals Training Academy

Irina has been a dedicated yoga practitioner for over 20 years and has been teaching since 2008. By now she has completed more than 3,000 hours of Teacher Training programmes, with her first certification by the Israeli Yoga Academy, then with John Scott and further on with her main teachers, Gregor Maehle and Monica Gauci. YAP recognised Irina as a Senior yoga teacher and Teachers’ trainer and she equally loves teaching both beginners and advanced practitioners-teachers. In 2017, after moving to the UK, Irina built a yoga school in West Sussex, - Iriness Yoga Horsham. There she focuses on Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, Patanjali’s yoga, pranayama and meditation. Irina sees yoga as a healing instrument for the mental, emotional and physical states, as well as a vehicle to fly beyond the body-breath-mind continuum, realising our Divine nature and interconnectedness. She aspires to help dedicated yogis dive deeper, get more comfortable not only with their asana practice, but with the higher limbs of yoga on both theoretical and experiential level, so they can share freely and confidently the undiluted gifts of yoga.
