Ada began her yoga journey in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, around 2015, in a small and intimate setting, at a time when the local scene was still far from the popularity yoga had already gained in the West. For a while, her practice was mainly Vinyasa, with consistency shifting alongside the different phases of her life.
Relocating to Lisbon opened a new chapter, bringing both fresh challenges and new inspiration. It was there that she deepened her discipline and focus, while also exploring the many styles of yoga and the teachers the city had to offer. Even so, she always felt a need for more independence in her self-practice — something Vinyasa, with its constantly changing sequences and intentions, could not fully provide.
In 2019, she discovered Ashtanga. It was not an immediate connection, but she remained drawn to the concentration and structure it offered. Her practice truly shifted after meeting Sonia at Agora, who introduced her to a more mindful and conscious approach, rooted in respect for the body’s own needs. That was when she began practicing Mysore style regularly, experiencing the clear growth and benefits it brought.
Yoga is more than a practice for Ada — it is something she reads about, speaks about, and lives every day. She is deeply passionate about continuing to learn about the body, the mind, and the brain, so she can bring a broader perspective into her classes. Through that lens, she hopes to share yoga with anyone who wants to explore the benefits of a steady practice.
She completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with a strong emphasis on anatomy and posture through the LYT yoga method. Her mission is to bring fresh ideas and supportive approaches to Ashtanga practice, helping students use the body as a safe and conscious tool to access and understand mental patterns more clearly.
