MILA

CO-FOUNDER, Head Yogi, Tarot Readings, Breathwork and Philosophy. Archetype: The Sage

Hello, I’m Mila.

My relationship with the body began through theatre. For over three decades, I worked as an actress, artistic director, and teacher of the arts, exploring movement, expression, and the many ways the human experience is carried through the body. This long immersion eventually led me to a deeper inquiry — a recognition that we are not only physical beings, but layered, sensing, and meaning-making ones.

Yoga entered my life as a continuation of that exploration. What began as a personal practice slowly became a way of living, learning, and listening. Over time, it offered me a language for uniting movement, breath, awareness, and inquiry — not as something to master, but as something to return to again and again.

For more than 25 years, I’ve immersed myself in holistic health, self-healing practices, and Eastern philosophy. My path has included studies and practices such as Ashtanga Yoga, Tai Chi, Reiki, breathwork, lucid dreaming, tarot, and astrology, alongside training as a vegan and vegetarian nutritionist. Each has shaped my understanding in its own way, contributing to a broad and integrated approach to teaching and holding space.

Eventually, I stepped away from the world of theatre to dedicate myself fully to sharing yoga and embodied philosophy. What I offer now is not a system to follow, but an invitation to explore — to listen inward, to question gently, and to experience how clarity can arise when the mind and heart begin to move together.

At Samudra, I hold space as someone who has walked this path for a long time, and who continues to learn through practice, curiosity, and lived experience. My wish is that each person discovers the quiet strength that comes from alignment — where there is less striving, and more truth.
