Traveller, professional guide, teacher of Tibetan yoga and practices involving the body and breath.

I have been travelling and exploring the world since 2005. During this time, I have travelled through Latin and North America, the Caucasus, Africa, the Tatras, Altai and Baikal. I lived in India for twelve years, travelling through practically all of its key regions. But the Himalayas became the main place of my journey.

I first visited Tibet and Kailash in 2008. Since then, I have regularly returned to these lands, and since 2022 I have independently accompanied groups on pilgrimage and expedition journeys to Kailash and other sacred places of the Himalayas.

༄ Yoga and Tradition

My path in yoga began in 2005 with Hatha yoga. For several years I practised according to the system of B.K.S. Iyengar.

In 2008, I met my teacher — Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche — and continued studying with him until his passing in 2018. From him, I received the direct transmission of the ancient Tibetan system of Yantra Yoga — “The Yantra of the Union of Sun and Moon.”

In 2011, I became a certified Yantra Yoga instructor and received the Master’s approval to teach this tradition.

I have been teaching yoga systems since 2008. For more than 20 years, I have studied traditional methods of working with the body, breath and states of consciousness, combining the knowledge received from teachers with my own practical experience.

I am deeply immersed in the Tibetan yogic tradition and Tantric Buddhism.

༄ Himalayas and Expeditions

For me, travel is not simply moving from one point to another. It is an opportunity to see a culture from within, to touch an ancient tradition and to experience the sacred space of a place.

I organise and lead expeditions and pilgrimages in Tibet, Nepal, Mustang and Bhutan, introducing people to monasteries, caves, ancient routes and places of practice, many of which are far from the usual tourist routes.

In my journeys, I strive to combine exploration of the territory with immersion in its cultural and spiritual tradition. I pay particular attention to breathing practices, which help with adaptation to high-altitude conditions and with a better awareness of one’s own body.

༄ Bodywork

A separate area of my work is manual techniques and bodywork practices.

During a session, I help people release chronic tension and bodily restrictions, restore natural mobility and create conditions for freer movement of energy and breath.

My work is based on attentive interaction with the body and many years of experience studying traditional practices. I view the body as an integrated system in which physical condition, breathing and a person’s inner state are closely connected.

༄ Freediving and Breath

I have been professionally practising freediving since 2009. I am a certified instructor of the international AIDA system.

Freediving has become another way for me to explore the capabilities of the body, breath and consciousness. The practice of breath-holding has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of breathing techniques and pranayama.

Today I teach my own practices of breathing and working with prana, combining traditional knowledge with my experience in freediving and high-altitude travel.

༄ Education

2005 — Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI).

2007 — second higher education degree, Moscow State University, Faculty of Gemology.

2002–2008 — active snowboarding.

2005 — beginning of Hatha yoga practice.

2008 — began studying with Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and first visit to Kailash.

Since 2008 — teaching in the field of yoga and traditional practices.

Since 2009 — freediving practice and becoming an AIDA instructor.

Since 2022 — developing the Bodhilife Expedition project.

Today my work combines three main areas: travel and expeditions, yoga and breathing practices, and bodywork.

For me, these are different expressions of one path — the exploration of the human being, their body, breath, consciousness and the space in which they exist.
