My Yoga Teacher Training initially began with Vinyasa Flow but I soon became truly inspired by, 'The Art of Yin.' Throughout my deep dive into the Yin experience, immersing  myself within the energies of the Feminine; such as, surrendering, stillness, vulnerability and receptivity, I learned that these softer energies, evoke enormous strengths too. Thus, I created, 'Potent Presence,' a carefully curated, deeply explorative practise, facilitated in such a way that you feel held within an intimate, safe space and guided to hold poses for longer periods of time; designed to rebalance our nervous systems. What you can expect on a physical level is completely beginner friendly, regardless of your fitness level you will feel confident to spend alot of time on the floor, gifting your joints a deep stretch and release. All levels are respectively welcomed and my guidance is rooted in the understanding that every body is different. I can not wait to begin our journey together!

Sunday Yoga 11.30 am
Monthly Sound bath sessions

My name is Margarita Blinova. I am a yoga teacher, osteopath, and sound healer.
My yoga journey began when I was just 11 years old. I first attended hatha yoga classes with my mother, and I was immediately captivated by its practice, which soon became an integral part of my life.
I began teaching yoga in 2001, but unfortunately, life circumstances and spinal injury forced me to step back from teaching for many years.
This led me to study anatomy and various osteopathic methods, which ultimately helped me to recover. During that time I also focused on my personal practice, utilizing meditation, exploring breathing techniques, and immersing myself in the philosophy of yoga.
I returned to teaching in 2020 after completing a comprehensive 500-hour course for yoga teachers.
With over 30 years of experience in practicing different styles of yoga, my main focus now is on Vajra Yoga, and I am a member of the Ukrainian Vajra Yoga Federation. I am passionate about its holistic approach to health, rooted in ancient teachings and safe asanas.
In my classes I prioritiz e creating a supportive environment where each student can practice at their own level and pace. I adapt the poses to cater to individual needs, particularly for those with injuries or challenges. I emphasize mindful movement, meditation, breathing techniques and sound therapy.
I am committed to supporting individuals at all stages in enhancing their physical and emotional well -being through yoga and meditation. I believe these practices are invaluable tools for personal growth and healing
