When Irina stepped on the mat for the very first time many years ago, she knew she had found her path. She fell in love with the practice and it quickly became her way of life. At this moment, she realized that she wanted to share this love for yoga with others.

Irina traveled the world to study with amazing teachers and completed several in-depth teacher trainings in Hatha, vinyasa, Anusara, restorative, and yin yoga. Very grateful for and inspired by all of her teachers, Irina created a unique style of teaching that is both intense and gentle.

Her love for yoga and life is tangible in every class she teaches. Besides being an inspiring yoga teacher, Irina is a gifted holistic coach. She incorporates her knowledge of Ayurveda, Tantra, myths, and philosophy in her classes and coaching sessions. By doing so, she always manages to inspire those around her to take better care of themselves.

Irina teaches on the hugely popular Ekhart Yoga platform and writes for several yoga magazines, such as the Dutch and French Yoga Magazine. She has written two well-received yogic cookbooks: Headstand in the Kitchen and With a Pinch of Yoga.
