You don’t have to adjust to yoga. Yoga can be adjusted to you!

Why Yoga Therapy?

Yoga is not a “one size fits all” practice. Each individual has a different body type, age, health, cultural background, physical and mental concerns, so Yoga should adapt carefully to individual´s needs, not the opposite. And that’s how Yoga Therapy can help.

Here yoga is completely adjusted for you, unlike in a regular yoga class where many general yoga poses are actually contraindicated and even dangerous for people suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, scoliosis and herniated discs, cancer, asthma etc.

These sessions are for YOU if you’re:

 

Struggling with chronic pain

Experiencing physical discomfort

Recovering from an injury

Facing mental health challenges and stress

 

Feeling disconnected or unfulfilled

Finding it hard to commit to wellness routines

✅ Managing limited time for self-care

✅ Seeking a natural approach to your well-being

For Whom

I get it —your work is stressful, your life is busy, and you probably have limited time for self-care.

But just like my students who find a way to dedicate just 2 hours a week to their well-being, you can too. Even a small commitment can make a huge difference in how you feel, both physically and mentally.

  • I came to Sviatlana's yoga therapy classes with a diagnosis of a hernia in L4/L5 and L5/S1 sections of the spine, plus I had a split in the hip bone.
    Classes were held 2 times a week. Sviatlana is a true professional. She is very responsible in the preparation and conduct of classes. The sessions were interesting and varied. She explains and shows each asana in detail, controls every moment of my performance, corrects and helps if any questions arise. She constantly monitors your condition, makes sure that this or that asana is comfortable for you and does not bring any painful and unpleasant sensations.

    After her classes, I felt the results in just 2 weeks. I felt more energetic, my mood improved, pain in the cervical and lumbar spine decreased, and after 2 months of classes, they were gone completely. The result of the classes is preserved to this day. I am very pleased. Sviatlana, thank you, and wish you success!

  • I came to Sviatlana after I got diagnosed with a herniated disk and sciatica, I had constant severe pain in my lower back and even foot numbness on some bad days.
    Sviatlana came up with a very well structured and organized schedule, the program was designed specifically for me and my needs. She also kept in mind that I have never done any sport activities or physical training in the past and by the time I joined her class I was carrying some extra weight.

    I was a bit afraid that I’m not going to catch up or do anything, but Sviatlana is not just a yoga therapist, she is a very careful listener and really willing to help. She never let me give up and mildly pushed me a bit forward every yoga session. I learned a lot about my body and senses, I now know how to relax and relief the pain, how to take care of my lower back. I also learned that my body can do way more than I thought it could. I got sense in my foot 100% back. Me and my lower back just want to say - thank you Sviatlana!

    I have been practicing yoga for 8 years with a lot of international teachers and yoga therapists, Sviatlana is one of the best I’ve come across. She is not only a beautiful soul, but an amazing yoga therapist and a teacher.

    With her I was able strengthen my inner muscles I never touched before; I have deepened my knowledge in asana practice. Moreover, I have learnt how to practice even when I am not 100% well physically, how to practice after trauma or injury.

    During the class, Sviatlana is fully focused on me, the class structure, sequence is well planned to ensure I get the right benefits from the session. All her classes are completely customized as per my needs and very safe to practice.

    The best part is that she does not leave me after the class, she keeps following up on me and how I feel, and pushes to practice at home as per her guided program. I highly recommend her both online and offline sessions; she is a true professional who puts her heart and soul into your practice.

  • Due to work, frequent business trips and not always correct posture while working on computer, pain in the lower back and cervical regions, also had problems with my knee joints.

    To improve the condition of the back and strengthen the legs, I joined yoga classes. Yoga therapy worked like magic and still helping. During our classes, Sviatlana takes into consideration all my problems, creates the right program that would benefit my health. She always leads very gently and pays attention how I feel.

    After each session, the body is relaxed as never before, all tightness goes away. Regular sessions with Sviatlana have improved my well-being, both physical and spiritual. With such a teacher, you can achieve all the desired results.

    I had 2 main reason to join Yoga therapy sessions. First is to strengthen the body muscles & second is to deal with my stress levels.

    I went through a surgery in 2020 and I realized loss of muscle strength accompanied with whole lot of stress. Joining Sviatlana’s sessions helped me with gaining muscle strength, reducing back pain and increasing flexibility. Moreover, it helped me to overcome stress with the guided yoga practice. And it was even more exciting for me as I did it along with my 10 yrs old princess. #momNdaughtertime

    Today I see a lot of improvement in my well-being. Each class was designed based on my health requirements, my mood and obviously by adding lot of fun to it.

    Sviatlana takes lots of efforts to understand each individuals’ problems and then accordingly design the class. I kept pestering her on my inability to continue the class, but she was persistent and kept me going. I think, the drive to continue doing yoga is even more critical than the results itself. This lady has all the powers and skills to keep me moving.

  • I was lucky to join Sviatlana’s yoga therapy small group sessions. I already had some experience in yoga practice, I practiced with some Chinese and Indian teachers before, and kept my home practice on.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how professional she is! From the beginning till the end, Sviatlana leads her class only with her voice ensuring each movement is clearly instructed. She is like a fairy, correcting my asanas at the right moment. Also, she ensures the class is not boring and tastefully selects musical accompaniment, from intensive practice till relaxation!

    What surprised me even more, is how she manages individual approach while handling a small group of 3 people, and how much of attention she has to the smallest detail! I highly recommend Sviatlana, she is a real professional and a big fan of her work!!!

  • Sviatlana was the one who introduced me to yoga.

    I was looking for some kind of system to keep myself in good shape during my recovery process after two baby deliveries. I had severe pain in my neck, lower back. Massage therapy gave only a short-term effect, other types of physical activity were exhausting or simply did not fit. Moreover, a lot of extra weight put additional stress on my knee joints and heart rate.

    After the first session, while some movements were difficult at times, I had a feeling that I went for an hour of massage, and not yoga therapy! Pure delight!
    Everything in the class was well planned, I practiced both balance, strength and flexibility. Despite it was yoga therapy, it felt like gentle flow with props. She was exactly what I was looking for so long!

    After three months of regular classes (twice a week), I noticed lower back pain was gone, neck felt relieved, my knee joints did not make strange sounds)))
    The best part, I never had severe sore muscles like you get after gym practice, but still my muscles were gaining strength.
    After several months of my yoga therapy lessons with Sviatlana, I can confidently say that “I am back!”, and even healthier, fit and strong)))

    Sviatlana is as an excellent yoga therapist with an individual approach to her students! There is always a great atmosphere in class. And what an amazing feeling after the sessions, you literally feel that each and every cell in your body worked to the very last cell. Her sessions are just beyond words!

    I came to Sviatlana with a severe neck and shoulder pain and numbness in the arms. After years of studying and office work I developed the so called “desk neck” and had troubles to sleep. My arms were numb sometimes even during the daytime when typing on my computer or sitting in the car.

    I went to several 1:1 classes and mostly mini-groups classes, 1-2 times a week. After each class I felt so much more energized, nice lightness in the whole body remained throughout the day. 2 months later I noticed significant improvement of sleep.

    Around 4 months into yoga therapy routine with Sviatlana, I nearly forgot about numbness and neck pain! What I loved about her approach is that she showed many simple asanas that I could do on my own whenever I felt like exercise, so it became my healthy daily habit and not only in-class workout. She is also a very gentle and positive teacher and therapist, while she gives enough workload for me to sweat and train those deep muscles!

    I came to Sviatlana with back pain, two hernias in the lumbar region. With her I discovered so much! I learned about my body and for the first time felt my deep muscles, I had never thought that I could feel it. 😊 There were wonderful and new feelings.

    Each time I flew on wings to her classes, I liked it so much! Progress was very quick, we worked with all the deep muscles. Sviatlana used to give me homework as well.

    Initially Sviatlana spoon-fed everything and explained where and how I should feel. She would tell me how to adjust the moment I felt pain, she ensured I felt comfortable and still get health benefit.

    The result was very good and fast, my body responded well, my posture improved, the stomach pulled up (the weight remained the same), the shoulders straightened. The most important - that there is no more pain! And I got healthy toned body is a bonus, it’s so nice ☺️ Sviatlana is a very responsible with high integrity teacher. Also, she prepares in advance for each lesson and plans it for everyone individually! After only 2.5 months my results are amazing and I am overwhelmed with happiness!

    I had constant aching pain in the right shoulder joint for six months. Because of this, I could not sleep on my right side, doctors concluded damage of the acromioclavicular joint and I had to go through the surgery.

    Sessions with Sviatlana were designed as per my personal needs. Classes were very comfortable without pain and overexertion. Sviatlana always monitored the state of health and the reaction of the body, made adjustments during the lesson.

    After the first few sessions, the pain in the right shoulder significantly decreased. After a month of classes, the pain practically disappeared, I was able to sleep peacefully on my right side. There are no restrictions in the movements of the right hand. I learned to understand and feel my deflection in the lower back and how to control and correct it in everyday life. Improved general well-being. I am very glad that I had the opportunity not only to meet a wonderful person, but also to get the experience of personal training with a wonderful yoga therapist.

    Sviatlana is always attentive, responsive, moderately strict and demanding. She takes a very responsible approach to the organization of both the preparatory process before the start of classes, and to the training itself. This is my first experience of yoga in my life, and I am very glad that the first steps were taken "by the hand" with Sviatlana! I plan to keep exercising and stay healthy!

  • Online yoga can be effective! With Sviatlana! She saved me from severe sciatica pain when I could not even get up! Also, with her I forgot about my neck pain and got my proper posture back!   I liked the way we did our classes, I did not need to be distracted by the monitor, I just followed her voice, focusing on my inner feelings. One session fly by like 5 minutes. After the lesson, I feel like after a day in the spa and no more pain! It's incredible! Amazing classes! Highly recommended!
