Lucy, originally from Slovakia in the heart of Europe, has been living in London since 2012. She graduated with a master’s degree in accounting and auditing, but life had other plans. While working in the office environment, particularly in the property sector, she felt a strong pull towards a different path. Her passion for a healthy lifestyle and self-care led her to become a personal trainer in 2019.

However, her journey didn’t end there. During the COVID-19 pandemic, yoga deeply touched her heart and encouraged her to delve deeper into this transformative experience. After obtaining a few yoga teacher certifications, she realised that unless she fully understood herself, she couldn’t truly help others. This realisation led her to pursue an extra course in trauma healing and emotional understanding with Dr. Gabor Maté.

After a year-long training programme, she realised that this was the highlight of her personal and professional life. It would not only impact her personal growth and transformation but also everyone around her. Therefore, she is evolving her life coaching qualification into therapeutic & trauma informed work.

Yoga teaching​

Teaching for Lucy is about creating connection and learning to grasp the preciousness of the present moment. First, we pay attention to our body, emotions, and slowly build a relationship with our breath, which leads us towards our authentic self. This part of us has always been within us, but we’ve lost the connection with it. Often, as a protection, we carry unresolved emotions and a lifestyle dictated by society, telling us who we should be and what is normal. However, with a deep and intentional practice, we can develop present awareness of what’s happening mentally, emotionally, or physically. During this time, we learn to listen to our body and recognise the suffering and carrying we’re holding inside, which is holding us back from expressing our full potential and our authentic self. Most of the time, we do this unconsciously.

It’s about giving our attention to where there’s tension and creating space for compassion and love for ourselves so that we can understand others. Lucy’s personal daily practice is strongly reflected in her teaching: without our own work on ourselves, we can’t expect pure and honest ability to navigate and guide others.

From that place, we can talk about a way towards healing and cultivating peace within ourselves, finding inner freedom to be our true selves.

What is her mission then? To guide people in such a way that we suffer less and live more with grace and love. To learn to choose to respond rather than react. To realise how much time we spend trapped in our minds, rather than appreciating the present moment, which is the only aspect of life we truly possess. Nothing else.​

''With an expression of grace in your practice, you will be directed inward to discover your energy body, where breath and emotions reside; your mental body, where thoughts and obsessions can be mastered; your intellectual body, where intelligence and wisdom can be found; and your divine body, where the Universal Soul can be glimpsed.'' - B.K.S Iyengar

Lucy has been blessed to study Yoga with her unique teacher, Troy Hadeed, from Trinidad and Tobago.
