KLARA KALKUSOVA

Klara started practicing yoga with her teachers at Himalaya yoga valley centre in Cork, Ireland in 2012 and has been dedicated to her practice since the  very first class and she never looked back. Klara quickly realised that yoga wasn’t just about the physical benefits, yoga left her feeling happier and more balanced.

After two years of studying with Lalit Kumar and Lisa Fahy she was on the way to India to study the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga with Lalit at his 200hr TTC in  Himalaya yoga valley centre in Goa. Her love and respect for yoga deepened immensely during that month. Qualifying as a teacher was just a beginning of a lifelong journey for we are all forever students in this ancient science. 
She’s been sharing her practice ever since.  She was a teacher at a retreat centre in Siem Reap, Cambodia and then at a women’s spa in Kampot, Cambodia. She introduced yoga to the students of a primary and secondary school in a Himalayan village in Nepal where she volunteered and has been giving private lessons in Ireland, India, US and now Iceland, combining yoga with Reflexology as she’s been a practicing Reflexologist since 2010.

Klara understands that her students come to yoga for different reasons and her role is to create a safe environment where everyone can learn how to honour their body at their own pace without judgment and criticism. She puts emphasis on correct alignment, enhancing poses with adjustments and she offers modifications and the use of props to make yoga accessible for every body. She believes anyone can practice yoga regardless of age, shape, strength, flexibility…
Klara has an adventurous heart, she has been traveling the world for a decade but it feels like yoga gave her travels a different purpose. Regular practice keeps her grounded and balanced wherever she is and she feels very blessed to be able to share her love for yoga with others around the world. She moved to Iceland only recently and is delighted to be part of the amazing yoga community in Reykjavik and to teach along great teachers at Yoga Shala.
