About Ivana
Leaving home at 14, I faced the trials of early adulthood—struggling with unhealthy habits and difficult family dynamics—until I began my healing journey. Inspired by my experiences, I became a certified Yoga instructor in 2016 and expanded my training to include Mindfulness and Meditation (master accredited by Miguel Cervantes University in Madrid) In January 2019, I completed advanced teacher training in Rishikesh, India, and shortly after, I opened my first studio (April 2019), following my divorce.
In 2020, I discovered Breathwork, which was exactly what I needed, and after having done a Superior Level in Gestalt Therapy in February this year, I decided to become a Breathwork instructor. This calling took me all the way to Thailand, where I spent a month in a beautiful community in Ko Panghan.
I am an avid reader with a passion for personal development, drawing inspiration from figures like Tony Robbins, Joe Dispenza, and Wim Hof.
In addition to offering weekly yoga classes, I eagerly organize retreats—over 30 so far and a trip to India—and thrive on collaborating with talented professionals from various fields. Their unique knowledge and magic enrich our studio experience and broaden our horizons.
Thank you for joining us on this beautiful journey of yoga and community. In my sessions, you’ll find a nurturing space to reconnect with your body, release emotional blockages, and cultivate inner balance. Together, let's unlock your true potential and embark on a transformative journey toward self-empowerment and well-being.
I look forward to sharing this path with you!

Yoga experience
- Practicing Hatha yoga sporadically since 1999, until 2009, when I discovered Vinyasa and Power; since then mostly Vinyasa Flow and Power Vinyasa but also Ashtanga, Restorative and Yin as per need.
- Due to the teacher trainings I have done, I have practiced or at least tried almost all the other yoga styles: Kundalini, Iyengar, Aerial Yoga, Rocket, etc.
- This is the reason why in my classes I combine different styles and I find it difficult to name classes I teach. Sometimes a Vinyasa class feels more like slower paced Ashtanga, and sometimes it is a mixture of Hatha-Vinyasa with a Yin/restorative ending.
- Yoga instructor since April 2016 private classes, Violeta Yoga; Mindfulness y Psicologia, sporadically IOMFIT Pilates &Yoga Center, Malaga.
- Trainer and examiner at teacher trainings.
- Tutor at an Intensive Teacher Training Course in July 2019, IOMFIT Pilates & Yoga Center, Malaga.
Yoga & mindfulness retreats
- Since June 2017 collaborating with Mabel Laguna, psychologist and Mindfulness Instructor.
