online · live in-person — šibenik for women 35+

Come back
to your body.

Evening yin yoga focused on recovery, breath, and awareness. No chasing the perfect shape — just the body you have right now.

My name is Irina.

Yoga has been part of my life for over 17 years — but if I’m honest, these days I’m not really teaching “poses” anymore.

17+ years of practice

What I’ve learned, over and over, is that most people don’t need complicated yoga. They need to —

  • stop being afraid of their own body
  • release tension
  • let go of pain they’ve been carrying quietly
  • feel steady in their movement again
  • get their energy back
  • learn to actually listen to what their body is telling them

That’s what I teach. There’s no competition in my classes. No requirement to be flexible. Nothing to prove to me or to anyone else. There’s only your body, exactly as it is today — and a practice that adapts to you, not the other way around.

I build my classes on classical yoga, functional movement, and modern anatomy, so every practice is safe, effective, and makes sense in your body.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs. Everyone who comes to me carries a different story — someone wants relief from back pain, someone wants to feel strong again, someone is finally, after a long time, choosing to take care of themselves. So every class is real, attentive work with a person — never a template.

For me, yoga was never about making life harder. It’s about making it easier: moving better, feeling better, living better. If you leave a class with your body feeling freer and your mind quieter — we did it right.

What I do isn’t “gentle yoga”, “power yoga” or “women’s yoga”. It’s respect for the body. Not pity for it. Not fighting it. Not forcing it toward some result.

I’m not trying to make you perfect. I want you to feel good in your own body — because the body is where we live our entire life. Movement should help you live, not become one more thing you use to demand more from yourself.

This was my first yoga class ever. I really loved it — it felt interesting and comfortable. Afterward, I felt like both my body and my mind had truly rested. Thank you!

I love how Irina explains the mechanics of each movement — she points out the smallest details, reminds you which muscles should be working in a given pose, and corrects every small mistake. Because of that, even short sessions are incredibly effective.

I loved our last practice so much! Even though I’d injured a muscle in my leg, the class was wonderful — we worked on releasing the tightness there, and it felt so good. Afterward the discomfort was gone completely. I think the pigeon pose really helped stretch it out.

I want to share how much I’ve loved being part of the group! From the very start there was this real sense of support and motivation — every class brought something useful. I especially want to mention Irina’s professionalism and how genuinely available she is for every participant — always responsive, always giving thoughtful advice. Through these classes I didn’t just reach my goals, I picked up things I know I’ll use for years. I recommend this to anyone who wants to change their life for the better.

Asking is already
a beginning.

Do I need to be flexible or already fit?

No. The practice adapts to your body — not the other way around.

I have an injury or physical limitation — is this for me?

Yes. Every practice adapts to what you’re working with.

How do the online classes work?

Live, over Zoom, at scheduled times — Croatian time (CET/CEST).

Is there an age limit?

No upper limit. The practice is made for women 35 and up.

What if I’ve never done yoga before?

Perfect — we’ll start exactly where you are. The rest comes with practice.
