About the workshop
Being born from the stirring of the primordial milky ocean by the gods and demons, Lakshmi holds the remembrance of meeting and befriending both the light and the shadow within us in order to rise with beauty and grace into material and spiritual abundance. To embody Lakshmi, the Goddess of Love, is to cultivate an open heart and call home all the dark corners of the Self, to awaken into your inner radiance. In this practice, we’ll explore the principles of backbending and the subtle aspects of opening our hearts to the world.
* Open for all, including beginners.

About the teacher
Gea’s first contact with Yoga happened early in her life at home in Croatia, with her mother who is a Yoga teacher. Once she enrolled in the University, alongside studying Mathematics and Computer science, she developed a deep devotion and curiosity for the practice of Yoga. She pursued her Yoga path as a teacher, and ever since, taught Vinyasa, Hatha, Prenatal, Postnatal & Restorative Yoga across Europe, the US, and now in London.
Gea offers a heart-centered yoga practice rich with creative sequencing, functional alignment & skillfully weaved yoga philosophy for inspired living. Her aim is to honor the ancient wisdom of yoga, be inspired by modern science, and convey the often misunderstood Yogic philosophy & spiritual teachings in an easily digestible way for a modern practitioner of yoga & meditation.
She is the founder of the SOMA Yoga studio in Wandsworth, and besides that, she is a part of the Spanda Institute faculty as the Program Director for Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, lead teacher on 200h Yoga teacher trainings, and a teacher and mentor for the advanced 500h teacher training.
