She is based in the capital city of Chişinău. She tarted practicing yoga when she was just 9 years old, and actually did her yoga teacher training at Moscow University of Modern Yoga. She teaches Hatha and Vinyasa yoga and has been teaching yoga for 7 years. Moreover, Alina studied psychology education in University, and completed a degree at the Institute of Physical Culture and Sports as well. What to expect in the Yoga In Moldova episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Alina came to yoga when she was just 9 years old. There were kids yoga classes offered at the school across the street from Alina's house. It’s the longest relationship to anything Alina has had that has stretched all the way until today. She feels like it was a sign from the universe that she was supposed to be involved with yoga. She actually started teaching yoga when she was only 15 years old. She started teaching yoga at the kids yoga studio, and offered kids yoga classes. At age 18 years old, she realized there was nothing better than yoga, and she was given an adult group to begin teaching. She’s been going through different trainings and seminars in yoga in Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine. In regards to yoga in Moldova, Alina feels that it is “just the beginning.” She has her own studio, and she works with a lot of people who worries that yoga is boring or just sitting in meditation. There are a lot of people in Moldova who have a lot of preconceptions about yoga, and Alina is working to break those stereotypes down. At Alina’s studio, every day there are about 8 brand-new students who show up for their very first yoga class. I asked Alina, why does she think that new people come for their first yoga, she said it is because they are in pain or there is a problem with something in their lives. There has been a growing awareness in Moldova that yoga can help with physical pain. Curious about yoga in around the world? Yoga teachers around the world? You just got your first-row ticket!
