Ilia Kostenko
My martial arts journey began at an early age, 31 years ago. I attended school sections of martial arts, fought a lot on the streets and constantly tried to come up with exercises and techniques myself. At the age of 12, having experienced a deep experience of loss, left an orphan, I became deeply involved in spiritual search, discovered the philosophy of Tao and Zen, and began to practice Qigong and Meditation, which went hand in hand with the practice of Chinese Wushu. I studied with the eminent masters Sam F.S. Chin and Alex Skalozub, as well as their closest students. In 2015, I was honored to receive a certificate and the right to teach from the patriarch of the school, Sam F.S. Chin. Now I am happy to share this art here in Georgia.

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.

6 years ago I started doing yoga because of the horrible back pain I had after doing some acrobatic tricks. Now the pain is gone but I still a huge fan of this practice because it helps me to be more stable, to ground myself, to feel better, to be more aware of my thoughts and emotions and handle them with much more ease. So my mission is to share this ancient wisdom of yoga with people who have a call for it or who have enough curiosity to see how life can be different when you start practicing. Namaste. See you on the mat.
