Hi!
My name is Ivana, and I’m a 24/7 creativity addict.
I was born in 1989, and I work and live in a small town in the northern part of Croatia, Ludbreg.
Since an early age, I loved to express myself through creativity, but it all kind of stopped in my 20s. But, through yoga I found my path again.
Yoga came into my life in 2013 with my first yoga teacher Gordana Damjanić (Studio Shakti, Varaždin), and in 2019, I decided to enroll in my Yoga Teacher Training at Dharma House Zagreb with my great teacher, Sandra Petra Pintarić. Soon after completing my TT200, my first group of yogis was ready for knowledge.
In 2020 ,with my fellow yogini Ivana Krobot, we opened an association for yoga and the first yoga studio in Ludbreg – Ayana Yoga. We have yoga classes on a daily basis, wwhetherin the studio or during summer on the open.
In 2023, I finished additional teacher training (RYT500), also with Sandra Petra, and an additional 10 hours of training for yoga nidra with Shir Shemesh (Satlaya Yoga).
We are all mainly students, and it is our duty to work on ourselves and educate as much as we can so we can be better versions for our students.
In 2024, I have finally opened my small business, mainly for my crafts – anaviART.
My free time I love to spend with my family and fiancé, reading, improving my drawing and learning how to play drums and handpan.
And yoga? Yoga gives me freedom, love, and happiness. It is all that you need in life – after yoga, everything just falls into its place.
Enjoy scrolling through my web, have a great time!
Namaste!
Ivana
