Greetings, I am Tsveti

I fell in love with Yoga during my first visit to a yoga class in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 2000. Previously I trained in martial arts and karate with Rensei Stoyan Tsvetkashki, so focus, balance, strength, self-discipline and meditation were something I was familiar with.

I arrived in Brighton in 2002 and practiced Ashtanga yoga with Russell Case at Brighton Natural Health Centre. I was fortunate to deepen my knowledge of yoga in India in 2006 where I took informal training in Ashtanga yoga with the daughter of Sri Pattabhi Jois - Saraswati for a month, as well as informal training in Ashtanga Swara yoga with Master Siresh and Jonathan Patriarca. I met

Join us for our Yoga Retreat in Sri Lanka -
April 2026

I am beyond excited to invite you to my next unforgettable 10-day yoga retreat in Sri Lanka, happening in April 2026. After hosting three deeply transformational retreats in Bali, it is time to explore a new sacred land - and what better destination than Sri Lanka?

While my heart has always been drawn to India - I visited three times, once for six months in 2006 where I immersed myself in yoga, traditional Indian arts and dance, again in 2015 to complete my 200-hours teacher training in Kerala with the incredible Bhoomaji - this time I feel called to share something different yet equally magical and in 2025 to take my aerial yoga knowledge to another higher level in Arambol, Goa.

Sri Lanka , often called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, is a spiritual sister to India, filled with ancient wisdom, lush nature and vibrant culture. It is 11 times bigger than Bali, offering a diverse landscape of pristine beaches, sacred temples and misty mountains. From the busting energy of the markets to the serene jungle paths, every corner holds something sacred.

This retreat will be a soul-deep experience - yoga, meditation, culture, nature and connection. I am currently crafting the full program and will be sharing all exciting details very soon!

It was Tsveti with who I had my very first yoga lesson and who introduced me to the world of Yoga. The result was that when I returned home from Brighton I looked for yoga classes. I did participated many, but none gave me the same relaxing feeling that I had during Tsveti's classes. At the beginning of the lockdown in 2020 when my classes were cancelled, I wished that I could visit her classes again. So, I joined her online classes and I been enjoing ...

I have known Tsveti for over a decade. She is a wonderful thoughtful intuitive teacher and inspiration. Tsveti always brings a profound knowledge of Yoga into her teaching and is very sensitive to the needs and aspirations of each student. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people to help them develop and grow through her yoga skills and charismatic personality. It has been a privilege to know Tsveti. Her presence and radiance have illuminated the lives of everyone she meets.

Had a lovely taster session this morning! I am new to aerial yoga and wanted to give it a try! It's safe to say I will definitely be booking regular sessions, I left feeling so much more relaxed and tension was released in areas of my body. Thank you so much, it was really amazing and lovely to meet you! What a great gem to have in the area of Patcham!

I've started coming to aerial yoga and relaxation classes with Tsveti a few weeks ago and they are amazing. They are the highlight of my day and part of my weekly routine. Tsveti is helping me build up my core strength that I have lost due to long term illness. Tsveti is amazing instructor. She takes her time with me and allows me to work within my own pace and limitations.

I highly recommend it!

Thank you Tsveti you are wonderful!

Uniting the ancient wisdom of Yoga with modern life

Yoga is a spiritual science of self-realisation.

It comes from India and goes back over 5000 of years. The Indian sage Pantajali, in his Yoga sutras defines yoga as the control of the activities of the mind. Yoga methods encompass the entire field of our existence, from the physical, emotional and mental to the spiritual. Its methods include ethical disciplines, physical postures, breath control, as well as meditation.

Classical yoga as defined by the sacret yogic text.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is an eight stages process of spiritual development (the eight limbs ashtanga path):

Yama - social retraints or ethical values (moral codes)
Niyama - personal observance (self-purification and study)
Asana - posture (seat)
Pranayama - extention of life-force (breath control)
Pratyahara - withdrawal of the senses (sense control)
Dharana - concentration
Dhyana - Meditation
Samadhi - absorption, liberation (total peace)

Hatha yoga seeks to promote health and well-being through physical exercise (asana). In my classes I always teach with the spirit of yamas and njyamas as they are the baces of Yoga.

The regular practice of asanas, and breathing exercises (pranayama), makes the body strong, supple and healthy.

It has a profound effect on the circulation and on the functioning of the inner organs, glands and nerves, keeping all systems in radiant health and leading to greater energy, better concentration, and a happier, more fulfilling life.

Many common physical ailments can also be improved through the regular practice of yoga, and it is never too late or too early in life to take it up. Anyone can practice yoga.
