“To me yoga is synonymous with a life with no pain and the ability to no longer worry about my body. Somehow, everything turns out alright” - says Jelena Micanovic, yoga instructor who will welcome you if you decide to visit Ananta Yoga studio in Vracar.
Jelena didn’t start doing yoga because it was trending, but because she had no other choice left.
14 years ago she started off because of back pain and was an exerciser who would skip ⅔ lessons. But with time and effort, she became a certified instructor at Vidya Yoga School run by Dragan Loncar.
She has been teaching group and individual yoga lessons for 6 years now.
Ananta Yoga studio is located in a peaceful part of Vracar. The hall is tucked away in a quiet yard in Sumatovacka street, shielded from view and the city noise. There, you are sure to find your safe space both as a beginner or an advanced yoga practitioner.
The groups can include up to 10 participants and Jelena will give each of them as much individual attention as they need to advance on their own.
The lessons are coordinated with the group so that everyone can advance at their own pace. Previous experience, flexibility or strength are not required. You can join us just as you are, with all your strengths and weaknesses.
The benefits of yoga are now well known, but let’s remind ourselves of them anyway: they reduce and prevent the consequences of stress, lower blood pressure, improve circulation, reduce pain, increase the body’s flexibility and mobility. On a psychological and emotional level, you will feel relaxed, satisfied, more focused, concentrated and have a sense of inner peace, wellbeing and balance.
It sounds like a fioscula but yoga does offer all those benefits, regardless of whether you take lessons from us or somewhere else.
