About me

I'm Klára — born and raised in Prague, with a background in economics, who has fully immersed herself in the never-ending world of yoga and Pilates.A world that truly inspires and fulfills me – not only through physical practice, but also through the wisdom that surrounds it.

I'm fascinated by how beautifully interconnected the human body is. I love studying anatomy and understanding how all systems work together. I'm equally drawn to the power of breath, balance, and focus. For me, it's not only about knowing, but truly understanding. This path keeps bringing me new insights – and every time I start to feel comfortable on it, something comes along that takes me back to the very beginning, where I rediscover the same things, but from a new perspective.

But let's take it step by step. I've been practicing yoga for over 16 years. I started with Bikram yoga, which taught me patience and quickly increased my flexibility. I loved that feeling of a complete mental reset that Bikram brings at 42°C – you're simply proud of yourself for surviving it!
Over time, I discovered the deeper philosophy of yoga – realizing that it's not about sweat and struggle, but rather harmony, stillness, connection, joy, and awareness of oneself. I shifted toward a more static hatha practice, and today my favorite style is vinyasa for its smooth, flowing rhythm – often blended with elements of Pilates.

At the end of 2023, after leaving a managerial position in the corporate world, I decided to invest more in myself. I travelled to India, where I lived for several weeks as a yogini and earned a Yoga Alliance certificate (200h teacher training) in hatha and vinyasa yoga. Upon returning to the Czech Republic, I completed an intensive six-month teacher training course at Karma Yoga (200h), certified by the Ministry of Education and concluded with a state exam. This year, I successfully completed the Pilates – Matwork 1 course at IQ Pohyb with a state exam and now teach Pilates full time. And no, the certifications don't stop there. There is always more to learn, and I already know this will be a lifelong journey. What I do know, I love to pass on.

You can join me for Pilates at regular group classes at HelaYoga studio in Dejvice. In 2025, I also put my managerial and teaching experience to good use and helped launch ORIGAMI yoga studio in Žižkov from the ground up – a beautifully scented space with a stunning glass-roofed hall. I lead Pilates classes there every Tuesday.

I prepare every class with care and always try to bring a little something to think about. Come give it a try! Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner – DO IT FOR YOURSELF.

See you on the mat.
