Yoga for every body

Namaste, my dear friend. My name is Veronika, and I’m so excited to meet you. I’ve been teaching yoga for over 15 years, from Kazakhstan to Cyprus, Korea and now Kent. My day retreats, women’s circles and classes, near Canterbury and across Kent and London, are a space to move, breathe and let go of everyday worries. Wherever you are on your journey, there’s a place for you here. Simply come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, calmer and a little more yourself.

    Private lessons

    One-to-one yoga shaped entirely around you: your body, your goals and your pace, at a time that suits your life.

    About private lessons

My philosophy

“Make the asanas work for you. If it makes you feel good, do it.”

Yoga is for everyone and for every body. Beyond the poses, I believe in overall wellbeing: we help ourselves through our bodies and our minds to look after our soul.

  • Body

    Move in a way that works for you. Every pose can be adapted, so you never have to force it.

  • Mind

    Let go of everyday worries. Drawing on positive psychology, I help you find calm and a little more happiness.

  • Soul

    Care for your body and mind, and your soul follows. That’s what keeps us happy, every day.

Women’s circles

If being kind to yourself is your cup of tea

At university back home, I always had a wonderful circle of women around me. When I moved to England, making friends was harder than I expected, and I missed that circle.

So I started my own. My women’s circles in Kent bring like-minded ladies together to enjoy good food, yoga, a sound bath and great company. There’s nothing you have to say or share, and no experience needed. Come on your own, and leave with new friends.

You’re invited

Meet your teacher

Hello, I’m Veronika

My love of yoga started at home in Kazakhstan, in classes at my local leisure centre. Years later, while studying business management in Cyprus, a friend invited me to lead a morning of yoga for children at an English summer school. That’s where it all began.

After a spell working in an estate agency, I knew I needed more. Life took me to India for my 200-hour teacher training, and I’ve never looked back. Today I teach in gyms, studios and private lessons, host women’s circles and retreats, and I’m studying positive psychology with Harvard University. What people love most about my classes is how they feel afterwards.

Retreats & overnight stays

Time to recharge, just for you

As a busy mum of two, I know how hard it is to find time for yourself. My day yoga retreats and overnight stays in Kent are planned to fit around real life, giving you time to rest and fill up on energy and love for yourself before you share it with the world.

  • Farms

    Open skies, fields and fresh country air

  • Barns

    Characterful spaces with room to breathe

  • Pod sites

    Sleep close to nature, wake up slowly

  • Country houses

    Comfort and calm in elegant surroundings
