- Tetiana DerevetsYoga trainerCertified Yoga Teacher | Member of Yoga Alliance
For over a decade, yoga has been my way to stay centred and balanced while raising three children. What began as a personal journey turned into a passion for sharing movement and mindfulness. I now teach both dynamic and restorative yoga, inspired by ADHO Yoga — a unique Ukrainian method blending strength, alignment and awareness. My classes often include sound healing with singing bowls, helping students unwind and reconnect. Yoga, for me, is a lifelong path of balance and discovery — and I’m honoured to share it with others.
