MEET MISCHA
A Yoga Teacher, Tantrik Practitioner & Transpersonal Coach
MEET MISCHA
Mischa is devoted to exploring the unfolding of the Self and Love that resides within each of us.
Mischa first experienced Yoga's capacity for transformation and self discovery almost 20 years ago and has since remained dedicated to the study and practice of the ancient wisdom tradition. She is continually humbled by the practice; the way in which it inspires growth and invites a profound experience of the fullness of life itself. She is devoted to exploring the unfolding of the Self, to realising the innate freedom and Love that resides within each of us.
Mischa holds enormous gratitude to all of her teachers who have inspired her practice and a sincere commitment to honour the roots of yoga whilst being relevant to modern times and practitioners.

Exploring India’s sacred heart since 2007 and shares a layered & heartfelt practice
The deepening of Mischa's studies has also awakened a longing to transform the fire of the practice into a passionate exploration of Sacred Activism. To understand how to create conscious action and change and to harness the wisdom of the spiritual journey to create a positive impact, not only within the individual but within the world.
Mischa’s life is determined by her sadhana (spiritual practice). She has been exploring India’s sacred heart since 2007 and shares a layered and heartfelt practice which reflects the adventure and texture of this. The practice is rich with mantra, philosophy, myth, chanting, meditation and ritual. Classes are immersive and include creative sequencing, a deep focus on breath and alignment and combinations of strong steady flows and longer holds to both uplift and tap into the stillness whilst allowing for deep listening and integration. Mischa's teaching is passionate and authentic, her intention is to both inspire and empower whilst holding a space for individuals to open, reflect and restore. You will be taken on a joyful journey of internal and external unfolding.
In Tantrism, we throw our entire beings in, endlessly, without distinguishing between pure and impure, beauty & ugliness, good & bad.
All the pairs of opposites are dissolved in the divine. The deepest urges, the most sublime capacities - no one lacks them. We begin to communicate with the divine when we totally accept the complete spectrum. All beauty contains darkness. In trying to obliterate it we dry ourselves up. When one sees nothing but a singular and shared divine energy in all things, the consciousness can no longer go astray. The Sadhana is fed by the entirety of the experience, and no longer by inconsistent fantasies of purity, of spiritual realisation, of power or greatness.
