About me
My first interaction with yoga happened in the first year of univerity in 2015. It beggined as PE class, but it has become part of my everyday life. Yoga helped me cope with challenges of studying and life in general. Depending on my free time, I regularly attended yoga classes, and I enjoyed practicing alone in my student room. On the way to my diploma, I decided to get another one - a yoga and pilates instructor. I had deepened my knowledge and discovered the magic of Pilates. After returning to my hometown Orebić, in 2020, I started teaching yoga. Since then as interest turned out to be great, I decided to open my own business and set up my own studio. The studio is called Tenger, which means sea in Hungarian. The symbolism behind the name is hidden in my family roots and the connection with the sea by which we live and which brings great peace to our lives.
I thank all of you who made it possible for me to turn my dreams into reality!

FAQ
What are the benefits of Yoga?
Yoga offers numerous benefits that are increasingly recognized by both practitioners and healthcare professionals. Physically, it enhances posture, flexibility, and muscle endurance while promoting bone health and joint wear and tear. Additionally, yoga improves circulation, concentration, and can help lower high blood pressure. On the mental health front, it effectively reduces stress, improves sleep quality, and fosters a positive mood through various breathing and relaxation techniques.
What are the benefits of Pilates?
Pilates focuses on proper breathing, movement control, and technique, making it an effective workout for all fitness levels. By emphasizing the and stabilization of the core—comprising the abdominal, back, and pelvic girdle muscles—Pilates offers numerous benefits. Participants can expect improved posture, enhanced mobility, and better coordination, along with increased concentration. Additionally, like yoga, Pilates can be to meet individual needs, promoting awareness of body movement and control.
What is the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
With yoga, we exercise the whole body, but we also connect our mind. It has relaxation techniques and teaches us to overcome mental obstacles. For example, we are afraid to do a headstand because we are afraid of falling. Once we overcome that fear, positive feelings about ourselves awaken in us. Pilates, on the other hand, is oriented only on the physical part of our body, primarily strengthening the stability of our torso - the abdomen (core). In addition, a large part of the exercises also involves the legs. Pilates is also done on a mat on the floor, but the exercises are more dynamic than yoga and involve more repetitions of movements. Props such as pilates balls can also be used when performing exercises.
Is yoga only for women?
It is a common myth that yoga is only for women. In the beginning, it was even practiced only by men. Today more and more people are discovering the benefits of yoga on their bodies, including both men and women. Similarly, yoga does not ask about age, so it is desirable to exercise and move your body at any age. If men are uncomfortable because of the majority of women in the classes, a group for men can also be organized. Especially since male and female bodies are different mostly in terms of flexibility.
I am not flexible, can I do yoga?
Most people think that it is necessary to be flexible in order to do yoga, but the opposite is true. We do yoga to, among other things, become flexible. Some people have innate flexibility, and the rest of us acquire it with practice. Yoga postures (asanas) allow us to work on this. Therefore, we must give enough time and exercise to our body, and the results will become visible. If you are not flexible yoga is what you need!
How difficult are advanced yoga classes?
Advanced classes are designed for those who have been exercising for some time and want to challenge their body and mind. We do more advanced positions and the classes are more physically demanding than the beginner classes. Everyone is welcome, but it is recommended to start the beginner's classes if you have not done yoga before or it has been a long time since the last time. When the basics are mastered and the body is sufficiently strengthened, then it is time to move to advanced classes.
I have certain injuries, is yoga for me?
If you have some injuries or operations, sometimes yoga exercises are recommended as part of rehabilitation. Each injury is individual, so it is always good to consult a doctor before starting exercise. It is also important to contact me first so that I can explain to you if there are any positions that need to be avoided or modified. Almost every position can be adjusted according to individual needs using aids such as blocks or blankets and pillows. We have also a group for seniors and people with injuries.
What yoga style we practice?
There are many types of yoga today, and we do Vinyasa yoga in our classes. This type is characterized by positions that build on each other. Inhalation and exhalation are connected with the movement of our body. The class starts with breathing exercises, then by warming up the body we reach the central part of the class, which is the most strenuous, and slowly move towards cooling the body and stretching positions. At the end of each class, there is relaxation that lasts 5-10 minutes.
I am pregnant can I do Yoga or Pilates?
Yoga is recommended during pregnancy for several reasons. With breathing, visualization and meditation exercises and adapted yoga positions, it is possible to alleviate or eliminate many pregnancy ailments such as back pain, poor circulation, water retention, slower digestion, insomnia. Prenatal yoga helps the pregnant woman to connect more deeply with her body and the baby. Breathing techniques and control of one's own body help during labor and birth itself. Therefore, it is desirable to do prenatal yoga for a healthier pregnancy and easier recovery after. Pregnant women can participate in regular classes with position modifications, but if there is interest, a group for prenatal yoga can be established since I also have that certificate. It is important that your instructor knows about your pregnancy. Our Pilates programe is not suited for pregnant women but it is for postpartum recovery.
