"When I was living in Singapore I signed into a yoga studio. It was the place where I could be inspired by teachers from London, New York, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore and especially from THE Indian Rishikesh. Thanks to them I was in the studio every single day and it has taught me that yoga is also a great way how to start listening to your body, how to calm your breath and mind. And it had led me to successfuĺy finish my first Hatha & Vinasa Teacher Training and yoga has become a part of my everyday life."

Daniela Bacíková, BACI

My name is Baci and we will be seeing each other at YOGA & ESSENCE lessons. I have spent eight years playing basketball and it gave me the love for music, love for movement but also tight muscles. I know very well from my own experience, how hard the beginnings are, but it’s importnant to start, start with something that you will enjoy and feel fullfilled by. We will be a bit badass in the class, yet our health is still the priority, so not forcing ourselves because of our ego.

Elena Kormanovskaya, Elen

I discovered yoga 6 years ago when I was looking forward to restart my life and so, from that time yoga constantly discover myself. I strongly believe that our body is a key to our deeper nature and that's why I unconditionally serve the holistic approach on my classes.

Veronika Ševčíková, Verča

It is more than 15 years since I have first stepped in the London yoga studio and fell for the beauty of yoga. I was fascinated at the beginning by the outer beauty, flexibility and also equally by the health and strength of the human body that could be achieved by practising yoga. I mainly focus at Vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Yoga for athletes that I teach at yoga studios and also right in the offices of big firms or individually in the comfort of one’s own home. Teaching yoga for surfers has become my favourite teaching activity, by the ocean or in the Prague yoga studio. Surfyoga is yoga for those who love the ocean, nature, surfing and travelling. It is for everybody that wants to improve their performance not only on the waves but also in their everyday life.

Piper Parker

Piper came to yoga from a background in theatre, music, and dance. Having spent her childhood in daily Vaganova Russian ballet class, she brings a strong sense of discipline, posture, and alignment to the practice of yoga. It's not often that one is given the opportunity to turn a passion into a livelihood, and she feels fortunate to have done that a few times in her life, one of them being this awesome journey with yoga. Piper has truly found her dharma in yoga, after leaving her ten year career as a Marketing Executive to teach and be of humble service as a teacher and educator in this mystical and magical lineage. She is dedicated to constant Svadhyaya, pledging to honor the traditions of a practice born from a culture far from her own. Her deepest passion is to proliferate yoga anywhere and everywhere, thereby making the world a better more sensitive and informed place especially here in Prague as an expat. She has successfully led two EN 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Trainings in Prague so far, and will launch a third January 2024. Piper is honored to be a part of the mindful progression of Yoga Movement Andel.

Sarah Vegnerová

Sport has been a natural part of Sarah's life since childhood. She pursued several sports at a competitive level and still enjoys trying new ones. Her passion for travel and water sports led her to surfing and combined with fitness, she began focusing more on dry-land training. In her surf fitness classes, you can expect high intensity, exercises for movement coordination and balance, core strengthening, and explosive leg power.

Katka Dymáková, Kat

I first tried yoga in London back in 2000, and since then, it has accompanied me through life. I completed my teacher training in Rishikesh, India (RYT 200), followed by an advanced training in Austin, USA (RYT 300). At Yoga Movement studio, you’ll most often find me leading vinyasa and hatha yoga classes, though I also adore slower styles like yin and restorative yoga. For me, yoga philosophy is an integral part of the practice, and I strive to ensure that yoga doesn’t become solely a physical exercise. In my hatha classes, you’ll often encounter pranayama, mudras, and we will always take a moment to sound the mantra OM together. I work with each group according to individual abilities, offering variations for beginners and guiding them carefully into poses with attention to proper alignment. For advanced students, I help them safely deepen their practice and explore more challenging poses.

Silvi Ravas

I've dedicated my life to professional dance (as a member of @DIVIZE_TEAM), and a few years ago, I also discovered a love for yoga. After several years of personal practice and visiting yoga studios, I attended a Vinyasa Yoga course in Bali (Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training), where I fully embraced the practice. I share my passion for yoga in my dynamic vinyasa classes, featuring creative sequences. Through repetition and challenging holds, you'll strengthen and sculpt your body, deepen your body awareness, and progress in your yoga journey. Most importantly, together we’ll awaken those much-needed endorphins. Class motto: "Get sweaty to be sweety."

Judita Barabas Sereghy

In my view, yoga isn't about how your leggings look on you, but about how your life looks when you take them off. Yoga has the power to transform our relationships — with ourselves, our loved ones, humanity, and the planet we live on. It offers tools to work with emotions, uncover ingrained patterns, find calm, gain perspective and experience the ease of being. Regular yoga practice can offer all this and more, if you’re open to it. I teach gentle, playful vinyasa flow accompanied by music. In my classes, I focus not only on linking breath with movement and correct body alignment, but also on explaining the physical and mental benefits of each pose. I weave in elements of yoga philosophy and conclude with a guided meditation.

Adéla Cejnarová

I fell in love with yoga in 2017 in the USA. Since childhood, I have competed in various sports, and yoga showed me a refreshing new path. In yoga, I didn't have to compare myself to others or constantly compete. At the same time, yoga helped me feel better in my shortened and imbalanced body. In 2022, I completed my Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Teacher Training with Piper Parker in the Vinyasa Yoga style. My classes are playful and focused on strengthening the body and improving mobility. I love connecting movement with breath, and my goal is for you to fully immerse yourself in your mind through this connection during the class.

Šárka Štursová

My name is Šárka, and I am not only a yogi but also a stylist. For me, yoga is a journey of self-care and an opportunity to meet interesting people. I enjoy its variability and the ability to experience a different practice every day, depending on what my body needs. Yoga has been a part of my life for many years. It helps me calm my mind on hectic days and positively impacts my entire physical body. I found my way to yoga over 10 years ago, but my practice was quite irregular. Still, I always felt that it was beneficial for my body, and I simply felt better after a yoga class. This feeling is something I wish to share with others. I love leading classes that flow smoothly, transitioning from one pose to another on the wave of breath, both at a slower and more dynamic rhythm. My goal is for you to leave the class with a pleasant feeling in both body and soul.

Bára Nejedlá

I believe that yoga is absolutely for everyone and has the power to fundamentally change a person's life. In my classes, I create a safe space for all who are ready to better understand themselves and learn to connect with their body and mind. One of my many goals is to humbly share the joy that yoga brings me with others during classes and various yoga events. Through yoga, I discovered the magic of sound baths years ago. The beneficial effects of therapeutic instruments will never cease to fascinate me, and I sincerely wish this experience for everyone. So, if you feel the need to find inner calm, relax your body, lighten your mind, gain new strength, or simply tune in to yourself more, you are warmly invited to any of my events.

Tereza Hrabinová

Yoga has resonated with me for over ten years, consistently bringing calm and presence into my life. It is an endless journey of discovery, love, patience, and compassion for myself and others. I continue to deepen my relationship with yoga—previously through teacher training courses in the Czech Republic and India. My own practice is enhanced by my teacher Vijith Pavi, to whom I regularly return in Kerala. In my classes, I aim to help you tune into the moment, here and now, and synchronize movement with breath so that you leave the studio with a big smile. My goal is to guide you in connecting with the present moment here and now, and synchronize movement with breath, so that you leave the studio with a big smile.

Kristina Faltejsková

Trainer, yoga instructor, travel and food enthusiast, and someone who enjoys life to the fullest. Movement has been a part of my life since childhood, but I discovered the magic of yoga just a few years ago, and I immediately fell in love with it. Yoga helps me be myself, feel gratitude, live in the present moment, and quiet my mind. In my classes, I combine dynamic movement with mindful breathing, music, and meditation. You can expect inversions and other challenges as well. It's about trusting yourself and realizing that you are capable of more than you think.

Simona Harániová

Yoga is an endless journey of self-discovery for me. In the beginning, it taught me to work with my body through an intensive asana practice and gradually introduced me to breath work. It brings more calm, patience, and grounding into my life. Yoga teaches me to turn my attention inward, see the beauty in small things, and the art of pausing to fully experience the present moment. I strive to share all of this in my classes. You can look forward to the connection of movement and breath, flowing through vinyasa, playful sequences, and asanas that may help you surpass your own limits and find balance in both your body and mind.

Johana Friedrichová

Yoga came into my life by pure chance. It was meant to be just a tool for relaxation and stretching my shortened body from playing volleyball and, primarily, from constantly sitting at a desk over textbooks. My body was completely stiff from stress and the pressure to be perfect. At that time, I was studying mathematics, where mistakes are simply not allowed. Over time, however, I began to find a much deeper meaning in yoga. Today, it brings calm and balance into my life. It teaches me to be patient, to appreciate myself, and to be content with where I am and what I have. Yoga encourages me to allow myself to make mistakes and shows me the world in a different light. It balances my highly ambitious and technically oriented personality. Most importantly, it constantly proves to me that one doesn’t have to be perfect to be happy. I strive to share these thoughts and personal insights through my classes. I aim to show even the most hurried souls that when we take a moment to slow down, we can actually reach that elusive “goal” much sooner.

Alžběta Wulkan

Yoga is a fascinating, never-ending journey of (self)discovery that brings harmony and joy into life. I believe that everyone can find what they need in yoga. It teaches us to breathe consciously, to be aware of our body and mind, to experience not only the poses on the mat but also our lives mindfully, and to accept things as they are. I first encountered yoga in 2013 as a complement to the athletics I was practicing at the time. Throughout my life journey, I repeatedly returned to yoga until I fully dedicated myself to the vinyasa style in 2018, which is closest to my heart. Yoga has helped me slow down, find my way back to myself, heal my body, and live more consciously and happily. We can meet in my classes, ENERGIZING VINYASA FLOW and STRONG CORE VINYASA, where we flow through poses on the wave of our breath, strengthening while also releasing, creating space for a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Kimi Haijan

I discovered yoga almost ten years ago because of the photogenic poses on Instagram, but soon I realized that it is so much more. I became completely immersed in the practice, and since spring 2022, I have been sharing my passion and knowledge with others. On the mat, I combine slow yet powerful Vinyasa enriched with playful inversions, calming meditations, and themed playlists. My classes are open to everyone—whether you speak Czech or English, are trying yoga for the first time, or can do handstands in your sleep. I believe that with the right approach and mindful movement, there’s no need to label yourself as a beginner or advanced. I look forward to seeing you on the mat, where we will strive together to connect with our most authentic selves.

Denisa Chaloupková

I attended my first yoga class because of the stress I was experiencing in high school. I really didn’t want to go because I was quite resistant at the time and avoiding trends, which yoga was for me back then. However, I eventually left my ego at the door of the studio, and it turned out to be wonderful. Different. I remember that my problems began to fade away slowly. Yoga is like a toolbox for me. When you open it, you find all the tools you need to fix whatever needs fixing. Sometimes it’s the soul, sometimes the body, and other times it’s the senses when they’re out of place. It’s not always possible to use all the tools in life, but as the saying goes: “Take what you need and leave the rest.” And that’s how I fell in love—with yoga. I wanted others to experience it too. That’s why I decided to embark on the path of becoming a teacher. Several years later, I completed a 500-hour traditional Hatha yoga instructor training in Thailand. My classes are comprehensive, blending physical practice with philosophy, and focusing on improving overall mobility, coordination, and body awareness. I primarily teach Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. At the end of the class, you can look forward to the sound of the Indian instrument Shruti box, which accompanies my intuitive melody or mantra.

Šárka Jelínková

I discovered yoga around 2012, and it was love at first sight. It entered my life and has never left. For me, it’s a continuous journey—a way to become a better person not just for myself but also for those around me, especially for my daughter. Yoga teaches me inner peace, patience, discipline, and as I always say, my yoga practice makes me a much kinder person. It has physically and mentally supported me through all the challenging times in my life, during rehabilitation after an injury, throughout my pregnancy, and after giving birth. Every time I step onto my mat, it feels like I’m returning to myself. That’s why I strive to create a safe space in my classes where you can relax and truly just be and flow. It doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete, a yogi, a stay-at-home mom, or a busy manager. Through dynamic Vinyasa, I found my way to Ashtanga yoga, which remains my primary practice. However, I also love teaching creative dynamic Vinyasa, so you can find that in my classes at Yoga Movement or in private sessions.
