Alongside Body-Mind Centering®, which remains my core lens, I draw on several other practices woven into my work:
Yoga of the Heart
Yoga, for me, is the joyous participation in being — a study of movement in body, breath, emotion, thought, and energy, always moving between stillness and expression. Asana is intelligent movement in union with breath; breath itself is one of our most intimate faculties, connecting us to the wider circle of life with every inhale and exhale. Using traditional terminology, what I teach is Yoga of the Heart — hatha yoga transmitted to me through the lineage of Krishnamacharya, Desikachar, Mark Whitwell, and Domagoj Orlić. I currently teach a specialized class for elderly participants through the city’s Sport for Everybody program, and also offer private one-on-one yoga sessions — see Sessions for details.
Geometric Art
I’ve long been fascinated by the spiral — a shape that begins at a single point and unfurls into infinity, appearing throughout nature: in cells, embryos, flowers, hurricanes, shells, galaxies. That fascination led me to mandalas and yantras, geometric forms carrying deep spiritual significance, both macrocosmic — mirroring the unfolding of the Universe — and microcosmic — mirroring an individual’s inner flowering. I create these as living objects, meant to imprint beauty and harmony into the space around them. I occasionally create custom mandalas by request — reach out if this calls to you.
Sound Healing
Sound has been part of my somatic work for years, but its roots reach back further than my Body-Mind Centering® training — to five journeys to Peru, where I was formally and experientially trained and initiated by don Rober and don Howard Lawler in traditional work with the sacred plants Ayahuasca and Huachuma, an experience that became the subject of my award-winning travelogue, Majka Ayahuasca (2013). What I offer today is sound work, not plant medicine — an instrument-based practice shaped by what those years taught me about presence and the body’s capacity to be moved by vibration. I work primarily with the shakapa, the Amazonian leaf-bundle rattle, alongside Native American flute, Tibetan singing bowl, rattles, drum, and koshi. Offered one-on-one, as part of Intuitive Somatic Sessions, and in group form within Povratak doma.
Breathing
Breath runs through everything I do — it’s one of the body systems I work with directly in Intuitive Somatic Sessions, and central to Yoga of the Heart as well. Rather than a separate, named technique, breath for me is a constant thread: a way of noticing what’s alive in the body right now, softening what’s held, and letting the nervous system find its own rhythm again.
Energy Work
Energy work, in my sessions and workshops, means attending to the more subtle layers of the body — its currents, blockages, and natural rhythms — alongside the physical, structural work of Body-Mind Centering®. It’s less a separate modality than a quality of attention I bring throughout: sensing what wants to move, what wants to rest, and following that intelligence rather than imposing an outside pattern from the outside.
Curious how any of this actually feels? Sessions and Workshops are where these threads come together in person.
