I first tried yoga 12 years ago in Germany and later I started intensively practiced at Tbilisi Yoga Loft, where I have explored the depths of yoga. It has made a big difference in my consciousness and my physical body.

It gave me the opportunity to share this magical power of yoga with people. In my yoga lessons with breathing exercises, asanas, relevant music and finally shavasana you will be able to figure out your own emotions, start exploring your inner world and get a healthy body.

Anna Geranina
My name is Anya. I'm passionate about travel and yoga. I started practicing and studying yoga philosophy when I was living in Nepal. I've also become incredibly fascinated with the anatomy of the human body. At some point, I realized that I wanted to share my knowledge so I took a teachers' course at Tbilisi Yoga Loft.
My classes are all about getting to know and reconnecting with our bodies. I offer a gentle full-body practice with a focus on the wellness of the spine, relieving tension from the shoulders and the neck. I offer different movements for warming the joints and the entire spine. All movements are accessible for all levels of training.
I try to draw students' attention to the sensations and processes that occur in their bodies during practice - thereby developing Body Intelligence. It is important for me that students understand what we are doing and why. The main ingredients of my classes are love and respect for our bodies.
