Andrey Boltyan
In 2006, Hatha Yoga became a pivotal part of my life, starting as a means of rehabilitation for injuries and evolving into a lifelong passion. My journey began with studying the works of B.K.S. Iyengar and A.V. Lappa, followed by training with both Russian and international mentors to develop my unique teaching style. Dr. Manousami Madavan significantly influenced my approach to teaching. For me, yoga isn't just about striking fancy poses for the 'gram; it's a rocking lifestyle that syncs mind and body in every beat. This philosophy is what I aim to impart to my students during the retreat.
I believe in taking a holistic approach to health, incorporating yoga practice, Thai and visceral massage therapy, and homeopathic consultations to witness positive transformations in people's well-being and see the joy on their faces.
