Completing the Ashtanga training with Nea has been a before-and-after moment in my practice. Over the last six months, I’ve had the opportunity to deepen my understanding of Ashtanga yoga on every level—philosophy, Ayurveda, asanas, and beyond.

Nea is a truly inspiring teacher with an incredible depth of knowledge. She shares it with so much clarity, passion, and presence. Her guidance has helped me progress not only physically, but also in my personal connection to the practice.

If you’re in Dubai and looking for authentic Ashtanga yoga, this program is a gem. I feel more grounded, more connected, and more inspired than ever to continue this path.

I would do the program again and this was my second time. Nea’s knowledge and enthusiasm is inspiring and infectious, I found doing the program for the second time gave me a deeper understanding of the philosophy that surrounds the practice and the time spent exploring the poses and refining my practice is always enjoyable and brings the understanding that the practice is always evolving, the commitment to practice is always transformative.

The practice became a light and vector of my internal development which I rely on during difficult times in my life, helping me get back on my feet after “falls”. The appreciation program has deepen my knowledge’s of Ashtanga yoga ,its history and philosophy. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding about this wonderful and powerful practice.

It was the months of continuous growth, reflection and exploration. Nea is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher who shares everything she knows with genuine passion and love . Attending this program I really dived deeper into my practice and enhanced my understanding of what yoga really means through continuous reflection and Nea’s support on and off the mat.

The prepared theoretical materials was very informative and easy to understand and absorb. I highly recommend this program for those who wants to go deeper in to the Ashtanga Yoga practice in all aspects of it.

Joining the Ashtanga training was a spur of the moment decision and one of the best ones I’ve ever made. I loved learning the yoga philosophy as well as the workshops on deepening our physical practice. It was a wonderful learning experience that also brought me a great sense of peach.Nea is a wonderfully passionate master of her domains — philosophy and Ashtanga practice.
Sweta D.

Practicing Ashtanga yoga with Nea has been a truly transformative journey. Her deep understanding of the practice, combined with her calm, grounded energy, creates a space that is both disciplined and deeply nurturing.

Nea has a beautiful way of guiding each student with patience, clarity, and compassion. She pays close attention to alignment and breath, while also encouraging personal growth and self-awareness through the practice. Whether you’re new to Ashtanga or more experienced, she meets you where you are and supports your journey with genuine care and wisdom.

I’m so grateful for Nea’s guidance—her classes have not only helped me recover from my injury. I have become stronger and more focused, and also more connected to myself on and off the mat. I truly recommend her.
