I'm a seasoned yoga teacher since 2003 and the proud owner of "Ambika-Yoga" yoga studio in the vibrant city of Riga, Latvia. Over the years, I've delved into various yoga styles, from Shivananda to Jivamukti, but it's the grace and safety of Iyengar yoga that truly resonates with me and my clients' well-being. Teaching Iyengar yoga since 2014, I also embrace meditation and Kriya-yoga inspired by Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings. With a master's degree in Theology and Religious Studies, I've been sharing the rich history and philosophy of yoga since 2016. My passion for teaching extends to beautiful corners of the world, where I've crafted and led yoga retreats in Latvia, India, Indonesia, Maldives, and beyond for over 15 years. Join me on this journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being!
