My first encounter with yoga was at the age of 18 through the book by B K S Iyengar "Light on yoga". In 2009 I started practicing Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga styles and have been practicing continuously ever since. In 2011 I finished Gaia yoga Teacher trainig (TT 200) school in Zagreb and started to teach. I continued my education (TT 500) at Divya yoga school under the supervision of Petra Carmichael. During these years I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful world known teachers, such as: David Swenson, Richard Freeman, Kino MacGregor, Marc i Joanne Darby, Govinda Kai, Manju Jois, Harmony Litchi, Eddie Stern, Petri Raisanen...
Since I was 20 years old I have attended many ten-day Vipassana meditation retreats that take place in nobile silence. Some of them were led by Buddhist monk Bhante Sujiva, and some were in the S.N. Goenka Vipassana Centers. Lately I have been attending numerous retreats led by Mislav Brečić. I finnished the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, Design department and I actively Design and Illustrate. www.instagram.com/tenayoga

Ashtanga yoga and I, it was love at first sight. Through practice I start discovering the world of yoga full of games and happiness, carefreeness, placidity and peace, all these states that I had known and which I had enjoyed as a child.
Through workshops, teacher trainings, learning, meditation and practice I uncover a free me, open my heart and gain strength for facing life's everyday challenges. Along with inner growth yoga fills my life with various goodnesses.
I firmly believe that yoga leads to a life filled with love and strength to face all the challenges which life brings. Because of all of this I wish to share with you the acquired knowledge and experience as well as love towards yoga. Big thanks to all my teachers for the love and support the have given me.

After practicing martial arts for over a decade and studying traditional Thai massage, my strong interest in further exploration of human body and biomechanics brought me to yoga in 2010. My style of choice is traditional Ashtanga Yoga which I find quite unique. I practiced with and learned from various respected teachers among which are Sharath Jois, David Swenson, Eddie Stern and David Robson.

His first encounter with meditation was in 1996, however his real dedication to the practice on theoretical and practical level started in 2003. Since then Mislav has attended numerous Vipassana and Zen retreats and has been developing mindfulness and loving-kindness (Mindfulness and Metta meditation). His passion is to pass on the knowledge that has helped him go through life himself. He was authorized to teach by his teacher Bhante Sujiva, a malaysian buddhist monk and famous Vippasana master.

I've been looking into various deep healing techniques for last 10 years or so. Somewhere along the road, yoga appeared in my life and I was instantly caught into it. Started practising various forms of yoga asana practices (Purna Yoga, Hatha for beginners, Vinyasa Flow), while in parallel learning basics of breathing and pranayama. 
Then in 2014, started to practise Ashtanga Vinyasa Mysore under the guidance of my primary teacher Petra Carmichael, who made my practise much more dense and dedicated, so I've been doing ever since. Afterwards, I've attended workshops of different distinguished international and Croatian teachers as well as going on morning Mysore classes led by Tena Rebernjak in Divya Yoga Center and, in addition to that, periodically on Mysore classes led by Tom Richter and Sandra D. Bianco in GaiaYoga Zagreb.
In addition to Ashtanga Vinyasa, integral part of my study of Yoga is Jnana Yoga of Self-Enquiry and Karma Yoga, as well as other traditions like Buddhism and Taoism.
