Yogic wisdom for practical living, accesible and undiluted, honouring the roots of the tradition.
My own journey of seeking wisdom and healing began in my early 20’s, but at that time I was still confused about the world and who I am, and I didn’t have any teachers to guide me.
My karmic patterns brought me to Yoga, and soon after my guides and teachers started to show up. I knew that I wanted to share with the world this powerful knowledge, so I seeked more and went deeper. This meant that I had to do more healing of my own. I did this with the help of my trusted teachers and mentors, and my healing journey began through Yoga and Āyurveda. The picture became clearer when I began studying Jyotisha, Vedic Astrology, and since then my internal life has changed completely. To read more about my story, scroll further down.
“Yoga, with its physical practices of purification, helps us work with the physical body, and teaches us how to access the energetic field. Āyurveda teaches us about the nature of the world in which we live, and the nature of the body we inhabit. Jyotish shines light and meaning into our life, looking at all the threads that make up our story. ”
I am now working as a Yoga teacher, teaching yoga classes in person in Cambridgeshire, and virtual Yoga classes inside the Online Yoga Studio. The Online Studio is a special place, because here I share the wisdom that I have experienced. For in person classes, go here. For the studio, click the button below.
Yoga therapy has been a huge factor in improving the quality of my life through deep listening and physical release, and I am now also teaching and using Supreme Release Yoga, SRY, with clients. I work with individuals online and in person from my home studio in Swavesey. To find out more about Supreme Release Yoga therapy, click the button below.

Yoga literally saved my life
I was born in the Carpathian mountains, in Transilvania, sacred land that used to belong to the Dacian empire before the Roman empire came and colonise. Born in a mixed family to a romanian father and hungarian mother right at the end of the communist era in Romania, as everyone was going through major transitions after our last communist president got assasinated. The history of the land, the history of the people and their stories and evolution, it all has an impact and leaves a residue molding people into having similar experiences because there is the same residue.
We take these residues with us, and carry them through our life and take actions in life being influenced and conditioned by what was before and who was before us. These all come to paint a picture of who we are, how we perceive ourselves in the world and how others see us also.
I have always managed to have my own spending money since the age of 15. I got my first job at a fitness club when I was 18 and at 20 I was managing a night club while I was getting a Bachelors in Journalism. I left my country in 2010 because I had gone through a difficult childhood which had its effects all the way into my young adult years. I was a contradiction and I was always the odd one out, but I always had lots of friends and people around, some good some not so good. I was doing a masters in PR when I decided I need to get out and see something else, I needed to cut the ties I had and create new ones. What I studied wasn’t for me because no one wanted to hear the truth from me. My truth was so honest that it always hurt someone, so I learned to stop and mould myself after the people I hung out with but in writing, it had to be the truth.
I moved to the UK and here life changed though it was difficult to adujst at first, but I had finally the freedom to learn what it is to be myself…to find myself.
I pursued a long term relationship a year after relocating, and it had it’s moments, but mostly it taught me many lessons and evetually gave the final trigger to break free. Even in the relationship I was still too much or not enough.
Some people really need to be broken to be able to get up again, and while I was discovering myself as being an emphatic being, yearning to get closer to natural ways of living I was always brought back by what it felt to be a hammer on the head. It was a contradiction…I had left my country because of that, only to find myself in the same conditioning that made me mould after someone else’s desires and deciding if I was enough or too intense.
The time came when I stopped wanting to define myself by the relationships or experiences I had and just find out who the hell am I? Life is supposed to be wonderful, I knew that deep down, so why wasn’t it wonderful for me?
Why couldn’t I not let go of everything that I can see is dragging me down? I had been suffering with bronchitis my whole childhood, with anxiety my whole life, panic attacks at age of 27, surgeries, accidents throughout my 20’s into my 30’s…Hammered down everytime I wanted to come up. But the thing with this residues is that seeds of actions remain, even when life breaks you down, and if you are moving in the direct direction after you get hammered down you had already planted good seeds and with some love and attention towards what you are moving, you can pick yourself up and continue.
Books, documentaries, diet, yoga, movement, mindful lifestyle, relationships and teachers. Ups and downs, highs and lows, but I showed up all the time. At age 30 I took my chances at becoming a Yoga teacher and went to India to do some travelling that I should have in my 20’s, but as it all happens with a reason I believe that though my karma was heavy, from my first breath I was strong enough to be here now, moving through obstacles and adapting, learning to be like water.
For 5 months I got to taste incredible India with all it’s spice and colours, deepening the knowledge more while I travelled on my own, putting my heart out there for the first time in my life and learning what it means to heal a broken body, a broken mind and a torn heart. The culture and the tradition is so deep and rich with stories that are ancient but the teachings are very much alive and learning to adapt deep wisdom in modern times was the greatest gift. I was learning how to heal and discovering bits of who I truly am.
In India I learned that MY ESSENCE IS JOY!
Movement brought me freedom and eventually got me to sit still enough to listen to the wispers of my heart and soul, listen to my inner child and to my ancestors reconnect to what my inate essence is and start healing deeply. I never looked back.
I have been teaching Yoga asana since 2019 and opportunity had it that I started teaching at the school where I graduated from. I ended up changing my whole travel plans and stayed on with my teachers to help them with the next 200h batch. Upon my return to the UK, I established classes in Cambridge and from 2023 I began teaching yoga beyond asana introducing a “Cosmic” therapeutic approach.
Milanam in Sanskrit means to join, to meet or to come in contact with something.
It is my passion and calling to weave mystical stories with wisdom teachings, practical tools supported with sacred knowledge and offer you a way to live in alignment and in support of Dharma, the natural way of the Universe.
In 2020 an injury and deep lessons of karma forced me to take one year off, time I spent working on my emotional healing with a private Ayurvedic therapist and recovering from meniscus surgery. With time on my hands and a curiosity to know more I began my studies in Jyotisha- Vedic Astrology with Steven Highburger, my Jyotisha mentor after he was recommended by my then new found yoga teacher, Kaya Mindlin.
During this time I truly discovered Kaya Mindlin’s yoga classes with a therapeutical approach to Yoga, weaving the mystical with the practical. I didn’t understand just how much deeper we can get until I started taking most of her programs, trained in Yoga Nidra and even to this day each week reveals something new. She has become a mentor over the years and I am deeply grateful for the transformations I was capable with the grace of her teachings and illumination.
By weaving together the knowledge of Yoga with the wisdom of Ayurveda I offer you an opportunity to live your best life in a healthy body and mind. I bring Jyotisha to shine light on your journey so that you better understand how time unfolds. We work on your needs from the point of view of the body, the mind and the spirit. I am a space holder and facilitator of healing and transformation through classes, courses and retreats where I help you build a container for transformation through sacred teachings, asana, pranayama, meditation, chanting and storytelling in line with the lineage I am part of.
Both my teachers come from the same lineage of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, a great teacher of Vedanta. The lineage is a great inspiration for me and also a guide. All these changes have had a huge impact on the way I practice yoga and ultimately on what and when I choose to teach what I share with you. Everything that I offer and is of benefit to others, is with the grace of my teachers. All of my errors are my own.
