My name is Kalina, but you can find me on social media as @Yoga_Kalina. I live in Poland at the moment - but I'm usually on the move - I lived in Australia and US before and I have visited over 50 countries.

I did my 200 YTT in beautiful Goa in India and had this pleasure to pursue my yoga education with Pranaluz completing my 300 YTT in Costa Rica.

FUN FACT: I did not know that Yoga even exists until I was 22 years old !!! First time I came across yoga class when I was in the University, but it was more like a fitness and I did not like it... When I moved to California I learned the beauty of yoga and the importance of the mental health.

I love how yoga strengthen my body and calms my mind. I teach a mixture of Hatha & Vinyasa yoga with a focus on mindful movement; my classes are inspired though by all my experiences, places I visited and people I met.

See you on the mats!

My name is Aina and I am from Barcelona (Spain). Yoga came to my life in 2017 when I started to feel the call of consciousness, with time it became an essential tool for my personal development. I always had the sensation that the practice took me back to my essence, connected to who I really was and it was there where I realized the practice of Yoga will always be a part of my life.

I spent several years practicing and improving my practice and in 2020 I did the 200h YTT in Barcelona, during some weekends while I was working. With time, I felt less and less bound to my work in the corporate sector, I knew and didn't come to the world to do what I was doing and I increasingly started to feel frustrated and apathetic, my everyday working life didn't make me happy, it was meaningless.

In August 2021 I quit my job so I could give space to rediscover myself, I had the need to add value to the world and live a fulfilled life. First thing I did was booking the YTT 300h with Pranaluz for November 2021, I knew professionally I would do something with Yoga but didn't know exactly what.

The training with Pranaluz gave me the business view I needed and time only for me and thanks to this I suddenly knew what I was going to do. It is said that you are born two times, when you leave your mother's womb and the day you find out what you will give to the world. Well then, Pranaluz helped me out with my process and I'll be eternally grateful for the experience I had there.

Currently I am a digital entrepreneur in the process of opening a space for promoting comprehensive health of body and mind as a method of preventing psychological and mental illness with the aim that people can live more fulfilled and conscious lives in connection with their true essence.

Grateful for the life I've been meant to live, happy and in peace.

Namaste,

Aina Mediavilla.

Hi, I am Petra and I currently teach yoga, pilates and other fitness courses in Vienna, Austria. I couldn’t have found a better second career (I spent 25 years in the corporate world in senior positions, working crazy hours), as I now get to do every day what I love most – teaching other beautiful souls how to calm their mind and strengthen their body at the same time. And the best part of it is, that I get to travel to the beautiful Prosecco Hills in Italy for my Yoga Retreats Yoga & Prosecco.

I am very fortunate to have found such excellent Yoga instructors in both my 200h TTC with Sunny Yoga in Dec 2019 in Thailand as well as with my 300h TTC with Pranaluz in Nov/Dec 2021 in Costa Rica. Especially with Analu and Robert I understood the importance and power of meditation & pranayama and started to understand yoga philosophy for the first time.

My training to become a certified Fitness- and Personal Trainer at the Vital academy in Austria gave me a great foundation on health in general, nutrition & physical training.

Life is good & lets connect:

I was born and raised in Leominster, Massachusetts; but have made a home on Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts, for the last eight years. Like most people, yoga found me at “just the right time”, during the winter of 2020. Knowing immediately that yoga was so much more than just a stretchy workout in tight pants, I enrolled in a 200hr yoga teacher training with Hot Yoga MV, and soon after that a 300hr teacher training with Pranaluz Conscious Living. I am currently continuing my yoga education with the Yoga San Kalpa/Yoga on the Vine 300hr yoga therapy program. I wholeheartedly believe that the practice of yoga can heal everything from the micro level to the macro level, and am eternally grateful to be able to share this path with anyone who is open to making a positive change in their life.

My classes bring together a combination of strength, balance, mobility, and endurance; all while keeping the priority on the breath. You will leave your yoga practice feeling “complete”; you will walk out feeling stronger, more vibrant, aligned, grounded….. and possibly even smiling :) .

Outside of teaching and practicing yoga, I love to travel, hang out with my yellow lab Norton, take time to enjoy nature, and explore various types of electronic music. And I can’t thank yoga enough for making all of those experiences exponentially better.
