Rayna was born in Varna, Bulgaria and has been practicing yoga since the beginning of 2017, starting with a yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India. Rayna: “The enthusiasm and interest to learn and deepen my understanding of yoga grew day by day. One class after another and just two months after arriving, I attended my first Iyengar yoga class at Omkarananda Ganga Sadan Ashram with Usha Devi and have been learning the Iyengar yoga method continuously ever since. B.K.S. Iyengar’s sophisticated approach to awakening the intelligence of the body and cultivating the mind as an instrument to discover and reconnect with the Self kept me in beautiful Rishikesh for 18 months.”
Back in Berlin, Rayna has completed the Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training, is a certified teacher, and attends classes with her teachers, Katrin Voigt and Elizabeth Brass. Rayna regularly attends workshops and takes classes with experienced teachers from Pune and around the world.
Rayna speaks German and English and can teach in both languages if required.
