ALISA GRIGORYEVA
My name is Alisa, and I’ve been practicing yoga regularly since 2020. That same year, I participated in a transformative 7-day yoga retreat with Aniko, a Russian Vinyasa Flow Yoga teacher, who introduced me to the sacred practice of 108 Surya Namaskar. It was a deeply moving experience, one of the most profound moments of the retreat, when all the students came together, flowing as one in a united energy.
In 2024, I deepened my journey by completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) at Karma Teachers in Vancouver, which enriched my understanding of yoga’s physical, spiritual, and meditative aspects.
Yoga has become a way for me to reconnect with myself, enter a meditative state, and fully embody the rhythm of my breath and body. The practice of Surya Namaskar has always been special to me, and while it can be physically challenging, the soreness that follows feels like a joyful reminder of growth.
