Mateja is a seasoned yoga teacher with years of experience. Beyond yoga, she shares her knowledge and passion for movement through classes in conscious and oriental dance. She first encountered yoga in 2005 and began teaching in 2013. Over the years, she has dedicated herself to exploring a variety of yoga styles—including hatha, ashtanga, dharma, vinyasa flow, restorative, and yin—along with countless training programs. She’s had the privilege of learning from some of the biggest names in the yoga world, as well as exceptional local teachers to whom she’s deeply grateful for passing on their wisdom. Her most recent training was a TT500-hour program at the Dharmaway Center in Zagreb, completed in 2024. With her broad expertise, Mateja’s approach to teaching yoga is intuitive, fluid, and unburdened, always attuned to subtly listening to her students’ needs. She believes in a gentle yet profound and “powerful” practice, placing great emphasis on injury prevention and meditative, restorative sequences. For her, yoga isn’t about rigid discipline or pushing the body to its limits—it’s about enjoyment, softening, opening energy pathways, and creating new space within the body. The result? A deep sense of satisfaction, a renewal of life’s joy, and a balanced nervous system. Her experience is further enriched by contemporary somatic practices and body-therapeutic approaches, which inevitably shape her work. After earning a degree from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, Mateja has worked simultaneously as a Croatian language and literature professor and a yoga teacher. She also holds a degree in pedagogy, where her research focused on the somatics and therapeutic potential of dance and yoga. Teaching is her calling, and guiding yoga sessions brings her particular fulfillment. She loves sharing her knowledge with others, offering genuine support and gentle, unobtrusive guidance.

After one and a half decades working in the corporate world and chasing external pleasures without finding answers to life’s essential questions, Bojan began to reevaluate his perspectives and beliefs. Realizing that true satisfaction couldn’t be achieved through external objects, he discovered yoga and its philosophy—a union of duality, consciousness, and intelligence. Through yogic techniques, he brought balance to his body and its functions, calming his mind and cultivating inner peace, deep relaxation, and contentment. What started as a personal practice soon became an essential and indispensable daily ritual, leading him to dive deeper into this vast well of knowledge. In September 2021, Bojan earned his yoga instructor certification at the Yoga Academy Zagreb under the guidance of Oliva Vrbanek. Early in 2022, he began practicing Transcendental Meditation daily under the mentorship of Yogacharya Jadranko Miklec. In 2024, he completed his TT500 training at the Yoga Academy Zagreb, and he continues his exploration of the unknown and lifelong learning under Jadranko Miklec’s guidance. Alongside his yoga practice, Bojan enjoys swimming, hiking—often on Medvednica—and cycling. He finds great joy in music and all its facets, as well as in cooking, particularly Ayurvedic and vegetarian cuisine.
