About us
The Sanskrit word anahata means: unscathed, unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten.
Anahata is the heart chakra which consists of two components: the awareness / mind constantly variable, and consciousness.
Anahata is the emotional center of the fine body. It is as if the „central control panel” for all relations with people, nature, animals, as well as the root of all karmic connections with people, also consequence and the result of thoughts and wishes. Anahata is also associated with love, compassion, mercy and other deep and personal feelings.
Anahata is associated with the ability to take decisions outside the scope of the karma.
In Anahata – decisions are taken following the own voice of the heart based on higher force.
Types of classes
all types of classes are available in English however with some teachers only. Check schedule for more details
FOR BEGINNERS
Practice of asanas (poses) already during the very first classes stretches the body, relaxes muscles and joints. The body acquires feeling of freedom, the thorax opens, breathing becomes smoother, deeper and more deliberate. Standing, sitting, reverse and twisted asanas are learned. Starting with simple exercises (standing asanas), one gradually is researching the body and its possibilities. In order to exercise the highest possible quality, props are used.
Beginners are our heroes!
FOR PRACTITIONERS
Learning of more difficult asanas, staying in asanas for a longer time. A conscious work with oneself: careful alignment in asanas, control of internal energy flow and pranayama (breathing). When the body and breathing change, also the mind changes. Our attention during the practice includes all parts of the body; we feel the way it works, thus our mind becomes centered and quiet.
Experience creates strength!
FOR SENIORS
It is never too late to start yoga – older a person, a greater benefit one acquires already from the first class. Yoga slowers ageing processes, sets free from stiffness, rigidity and feeling of weakness. Middle-aged people need not only ordinary physical exercises, but a deliberate, no-mechanical practice affecting personality as a whole – the body, mind and spirit. Yoga exercises are performed more slowly and gently, in this type of classes. Such pace is also suitable for those who are recovering from injury or surgery.
And life acquires vibrant colors!
FOR WOMEN
A woman is supposed to be calm and balanced and yoga is the way to achieve it. During the classes a work is done to influence reproductive and endocrine systems. By practicing the asanas, output of hormones is regulated in the body and well-being is improved. Particular emphasis is placed on inverted poses which are practiced longer, thus obtaining maximum effect from them.
Love resides within each woman we only should remove obstacles which do not allow to express oneself!
YOGA MIX GROUP
Both easier and more sophisticated asanas are practiced. Suitable for beginners, who have already for some time been practicing yoga as well as for yoga practitioners who want a lighter load. When the body and breathing change, also the mind changes. Our attention during the practice includes all parts of the body; we feel the way it works, thus our mind becomes centered and quiet.
The practice of yoga is a journey beginning in the body and leading to the soul!
FOR MEN
Men are seen as strong kind, however strength benefits from flexibility. In many cases masculine strength is ability to hide or ignore pain. Yoga for men helps improve strength and flexibility, get rid of pain, improve mental stability and self confidence.
Yoga is not only suitable for girls!
WORKSHOPS
Anahata is regularly organizes masterclasses as well as invites world-known Iyengar yoga teachers to deliver workshops.
LECTURES
The story of yoga belt – from Narasimhana to Dakshinamurti
The last edition of “Yoga Rahasya” had an article about yoga Narasimhanu and us, disciples of Iyengar yoga. It was exciting to see a representation of Lord Vishnu depicting Lord Vishnu sitting in a yoga pose with a belt around his feet. It is considered that these sculptures are at least 400 years old.

Yoga is a silent dialogue with oneself, a therapy of oneself. The healthier one becomes, the more harmonic becomes the environment around.
Ludmila Iljina
“The most important thing in your practice of yoga, is not breathing technique, knowledge of asanas or joint flexibility. The most important is to spread out the mat and start practicing.”
Irina Zeme
“The most important what a man can do is not to change the world but change oneself.”
