About yoga teacher Mairi [my-ree]

Mairi started practicing Hatha Yoga more than 20 years ago, soon after graduating from the Medical School at the University of Belgrade. Since then she had an honour to learn from many amazing yoga teachers across the world. Her practice was, however, particularly influenced by the Bihar and Hridaya schools of yoga. This orientation led her to the Akasha Yoga Academy (Bali/Thailand), where she completed her 200hrs Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in 2017.

In 2022, Mairi took an advanced training in yoga, with the renowned Mohans family (India/Singapore), to expand her interests and knowledge in the field of yoga therapy. Mairi also holds a first class certificate in Philosophy of Yoga (2016) from the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies affiliated to the University of Oxford.

Before getting into full time teaching of yoga, Mairi worked as an international academic researcher and lecturer in social medicine and medical anthropology and sociology.

Mairi’s academic background based on a mixture of natural and social sciences, with a sprinkle of humanities, occasionally adds a quirky flavour to the Hatha Yoga classes that Mairi offers. However, the classes are primarily based on Mairi’s own, longterm and versatile yoga practice, and her heartfelt sharing of what she has learned from her amazing yoga teachers.
