      COURSE TUTOR
      • Kati Shanti
        Yoga teacher
        Founder of Tbilisi Yoga Loft
      Kati came to yoga at 16 with poor posture after a small car accident. Without sporting experience, yoga seemed to her a real challenge, but the goal was to get rid of the displacement of the vertebrae, to become more enduring and more balanced.

      "This is how I got to know yoga therapy. A few years later, I was already practicing hatha yoga. And I took my first course for teachers of Yoga Flow from the Petersburg School of Yoga.

      In 2010, I went on an endless journey. Started in Asia, where I studied yoga with different masters. Then took a 200H TTC in Yoga and Pranayama in India, a 100H TTC in Prenatal and Postnatal yoga in Spain. My biggest influence was practicing Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore (India) and Forrest yoga with Ana Forrest (USA)."

      Kati has been organised a number of workshops and yoga retreats worldwide, including India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sweden, Greece, Russia, Georgia.

      "I believe that every person is unique and every day is special. In my lessons, I give students the opportunity to reach their own potential in a safe environment. All we need is love."
