Iva has been teaching yoga for 7 years and practicing since 11.
She grew up in London, where she studied dance arts, improvisation and choreography. that
what leads her to yoga practice is the need for a healthier life physically and
spiritually, and the need for self-discovery and the cultivation of tranquility. After some
years she went to study in India where she studied classical yoga, meditation,
philosophy and anatomy.
After his second trip to India and after years of teaching in famous studios around
London, Iva began to specialize in Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation, and began
to practice Buddhism.

techniques with teachers such as Sarah Lo, Bernie Clarke, Paul Grilley and others. Also
practices mindfulness with Plum Village in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
