Art of Yantra

The concepts originate from the tantric tradition. In combination, they are part of the esoteric practice of yoga and hence the process involves chanting, visualization, puja (worship) use of mudra (hand gestures) and breath in specific ways.

They can be experienced on different levels, initially there is a shift in awareness and attitude, the body and the mind may feel more relaxed, more focused. As the process deepens and one undertakes this process as a sadhana, or regular spiritual practice, then we begin to see and awaken

The process involves ritualistic practices to create connection between microcosm and macrocosm. Rituals are external and non-religious practices that help us connect with an inner experience.

The retreats are held in a simple and natural environment and give the time and space to go deeper into this process, combining a comprehensive yogic approach of regularity and routine, with asana and pranayama classes, yoga nidra and meditation sessions, plenty of mantra chanting

I have been involved with yoga since i was 18, and teaching since 2003. Before making this a full-time life, I was a life sharer; a juggler and occasional fire breather; and also spent 15 years as a teacher in special needs education and autism and as a mental health social worker. I also studied Western and Indian philosophy, but experiencing these things was always more important than thinking about them. All throughout this time yoga was at the core of it all.

Practicing with mantra and yantra has been a process of discovery and a deepening of sadhana, combined in recent years with the magic of sacred geometry of all traditions, it has discovered new ground and become a fully immersive practice.

I have learnt and shared many good things with the people I have worked and studied with over the years, they have taught me a lot, and I am very grateful to have had that experience in this life and very happy to be able to share this with others.

Born in Sofia and living in Vienna, Austria, I am an artist and art and yoga teacher. My art exploration has been in the fields of the fine arts, tapestry and animated films. For me art and creating have always been a spiritual practice and in the last few years I increasingly devote this quest by exploring the science of Yantra, Mantra and Mandala.

I believe that every one of us has a creative potential which we should open ourselves to, explore and unfold in our life. I am committed to encouraging everyone to develop and live their creativity. By practising yantra and mantra we can approach ourselves in a different and more intuitive way.
