I did yoga on and off for about 10 years, but i didn't have any basics knowledge about postures alignment. I would normally just drop in to the class of random levels with 15 or more students. For sure, I got some benefits even from this chaotic experience. However, when I took the first three lessons with Irina I realized that I just lost 10 years in doing yoga in a wrong way. Irina's explanation, assistance, her desire to share her love to yoga and her knowledge made a mirricle to my perception of yoga. After her classes I can say I fell in LOVE with yoga, I understood my own way to get depth and progress. I learned more from Irina's 12 lessons of Yoga Basics program than in past 10 years. We had students with different experiences, physical abilities and restrictions in our group, but Irina challenged every one in class so each of them got their own progress that works for their current level. I felt very welcomed, supported and seen by Irina and loved her assistance. I had to drive from Green Lake to Redmond 3-4 times a week during the program but it was worth that effort! This class is must have for each who want to be conscious yoga practitioner seeking for results and growth.
Irina is a wonderful yoga teacher - she puts her heart into everything that relates to yoga, she thinks holistically about her students, and guides them masterfully and carefully towards being better and more knowledgeable yoga students.
She is an inspiring teacher and joy to be around! Even though I wasn't new to yoga when I started attending her classes, each and every time there were new discoveries and gems that she'd share with the group.
SolarYou is the best I have ever attended!
