For the first time I was interested in yoga in 1997 when I started to practice yoga in Iyengar Yoga Center in Moscow with Sergey Mikhailov (Senior Intermediate 2) and Inna Mashyanova (Junior Intermediate 3). After one year practice there came an interest in other methods and schools – I brought books by Andrey Sidersky (author of his own personal method of yoga teaching). After finishing these books I started to practice dynamic yoga at home plus – Iyengar yoga in the group.
In 1997-2000 I took part in workshops of Andrey Lappa (Universal Yoga), Andrey Sidersky, Anatolii Zenchenko (Ishvara Yoga) and other workshops, master classes and intensives of yoga teachers from Russia and Ukraine. From 2000 I started to visit intensive yoga classes in the Moscow Ashtanga Yoga Center with Denis Zaenchkovskii and began to teach yoga there in 2001.
I studied under the guidance of Bal Mukund Singh (disciple of Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari, Delhi), with B.N.S Iyengar (disciple of Shri T. Krishnamacharya, Patanjala Yogashala), Gopala Krishna (Bangalore), Dr. M.Madhavan (Karur, Tamil Nadu, Vivekananda Yoga Therapy Institiute, 2005-06), attended classes in yoga-ashrams of Rishikesh: Yoga Niketan ashram, Swami Samarpananda (Bihar school of yoga) and in Pondicherry (Swami Gitananda ashram). I participated in training-intensives with Kali Ray, Dominic Corigliano, Marc & Joan Darby, David Swenson, Andrey Sidersky and Andrey Lappa (Ukraine). I am also interested in Auruveda – in 2008 completed 300 hours course of American Institiute of Vedic Studies (David Frowley). From 2005 I practice Ashtanga Yoga. I practiced in Mysore with Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois.
