My biography

I'm dancing since I can remember and since I can remember I'm dancing!

 

Born into a family of Artistes with a grandmother being a ballet dancer and an uncle who was a guitar and piano teacher, already in my hildhood everything was about dance and music. The freedom to express oneself was planted into me and my younger brother not the least by our parents, who are both Artistes.

 

At the age of 14 I came to Germany due to the war in my home country Yugoslavia. Music and dance were my way to find my place here and to integrate into the new society. I soon started dancing on a local level in Düsseldorf as well as deejaying and making music myself.

 

I discovered Yoga when I was 16. It fascinated me to get in a state of meditation and find myself with the help of Yoga moves. Ever since it is my companion through good and bad times. For me Yoga is much more than prestige or a trend. Yoga is free of dogmas and can be practiced everywhere every day. It doesn't matter wich religion, culture, body size or gender you have, Yoga is for everyone. It is physical and mental work on oneself. It is simple. It is a journey to yourself, with you, within you.

 

At the age of 18 I started to study social pedagogy. At the same time I began to give my first lessons as teacher of urban dance styles and to do live shows to finance my living. Various music recordings and tours with different projects (Ischen Impossible, Las Balkanieras) followed. It was a pretty intense time full of  important experiences on stage and in the music business.

 

After some time I was hungry for new impulses and so I started to study dance pedagogy. New perspectives were emerging. The study offered me different modules I could integrate into my own projects and inspired by my son - who was born in 2006 - I dared to start teaching Dance for Children at elementary level which I still do besides having expanded my work to the primary level as well.. 

 

In 2015 I did a Yoga teachers training with the emphasis on Vinyasa flow and Hatha Yoga . It was followed  by seminars, retreats and workshops in other Yoga styles like Yin Yoga, Shadow Yoga, Hormone Yoga which inspired me to create my own style - "Grounding Yoga Flow" and my own brand - "Beatz & Yoga".  Today I offer different "Beatz & Yoga" courses and workshops. My teaching credo is to be authentic for the content to be passed on professionally.

 

Since 2015 I also organize and do Yoga retreats in Ražanj, Croatia, at Sub-Art Yoga.
