Mindfulness Yoga Practice I am here to help you be stronger in facing challenges and gentler towards yourself. What is Mindfulness and What Will You Learn? Mindfulness practice helps us manage stress, gain more energy and vitality, handle difficulties more skillfully, use our intellect more effectively, recognize ways to rest, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and influence personal development. Studies by the American Psychological Association and JAMA Internal Medicine highlight the role of Mindfulness in reducing stress, improving focus, and increasing productivity by up to 43%. I understand it may seem dry, but Mindfulness is still a new concept in Serbia. It is just a name for a set of techniques. Just as it’s important for me to understand everything I do, it’s equally important to convey it to others. Mindfulness is a blend of neuroscience and psychology, widely accepted worldwide, from school systems to corporations and individuals. I want you to refresh your knowledge that there are ways to change and acquire new habits and beliefs, becoming more advanced human beings, not through fear but through an exciting journey. The techniques I combine and design for individuals, in line with the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation program, include: Breathing techniques Mindfulness yoga Interactive meditation Somatic regulation techniques Quality communication is vital for progress, in the amount that suits you. We work on the issues you face and the values you want to enhance. If you decide to work with me, you'll also receive gentle homework assignments that won't be burdensome. We can work in person or online, where you'll receive a recording. Values That Drive Me Understanding: You are needed just as you are, without judgment. The diversity of human architecture is my inspiration. Connection: The relationship we create is based on respect and support. I aim to see you through the uniqueness of your life and respond with all my capacities. Knowledge: I am fascinated by the human makeup from the perspectives of neuroscience, physiology, and psychology, which are the foundations of Mindfulness. I am currently in the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation program, with additional training in Mindfulness meditation, yoga, somatics, and trauma healing. My Truth Past: I have to push myself. How can I be both a princess and a tomboy? Endless perfectionism, self-criticism beyond limits, forgetting how capable I am, constantly planning the future, pushing myself into situations where I feel bad to ‘conquer myself’, self-talk that I always have to be strong - that nothing hurts + I'll do it all myself, taking on others' responsibilities, fear of rest, burnout, hyper-empathy to the point of almost becoming the people I connect with. Wanting everything but also wanting nothing. It all started with a desire to feel comfortable in my own skin, regardless of life’s flow, and Mindfulness is definitely the best thing that has happened and is happening to me. The greatest inspiration is the people I work with and how the Mindfulness method impacts them. The magic of their progress motivates me to advocate for greater visibility of Mindfulness globally, but in Serbia also.
