About Stefania Zen Yoga

Hello! I’m Stefania.

My yoga journey began nearly two decades ago when I discovered its power to alleviate the back pain caused by scoliosis. As a teenager, carrying a backpack on one shoulder, I turned to Hatha yoga to improve my posture and quickly fell in love with the practice.

Originally from Kyiv, I worked in administrative roles and on film sets after graduating from the University of Philology. In 2015, I moved to Paris, where I continued practicing yoga while working in the hotel and real estate industries. My passion for yoga led me to teach colleagues struggling with office-related tension and back pain, and this naturally transitioned to online classes during the lockdown.

In early 2022, I expanded my knowledge of Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in Rishikesh, and shortly after, began teaching Anatomy and Sequencing at a teacher training school in India, where I practiced alongside Indian teachers.

Now in Sri Lanka, I’m grateful to continue my yoga journey and share my passion with others. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or just starting out, I look forward to guiding you in exploring the profound connection between mind and body through yoga, helping you alleviate back pain and enhance your overall well-being.
