From a background of investment banking and finance, Vlad came to the mat looking for a different type of personal development. Both the physical aspect and the value system of the yoga community were instantly appealing, but it was the mind-body connection that was a true revelation. Yoga and meditation have brought powerful, sometimes borderline magical benefits to him. 

Vlad’s aspiration is to help others discover similar benefits and possibly move a step closer to true happiness. Born and raised in Moscow, Vlad has been a Londoner since 2004, and also lived in New York. Vlad completed his 200-hours teacher training in 2016 with Cat Alip-Douglas at Sangye Yoga School in London. He focuses on vinyasa flow with elements of jivamukti. Find out more at www.crispyoga.com
