Anastassia Leppikson

I began my journey with yoga in 2011. I don’t have a “love at first sight” story to share about my first encounter with this practice; rather, it was uncomfortable, incomprehensible, and foreign. Only after two months of discomfort and resistance, in a completely out-of-context moment, did the thought strike me that “something is very different.” Had someone told me earlier that yoga would become an inseparable element of my daily life, I would have laughed sincerely and from the heart, and would have had no other response than that you really don’t know me at all. Looking back now, I must admit that the person who didn’t know me at that moment was I myself. Even now, I cannot say that I know myself completely; instead, I enjoy the fact that nothing is “final” but rather in constant flux – every day I discover something new that I relate to, and something I no longer do. Through this, I also understand the functioning of other people and the world better, which in turn brings color, playfulness, care, and respect to life.


Initially focused on the physical, the practice has now evolved into a holistic approach to yoga as a lifestyle and human integrity.

I have been sharing my sense of yoga since 2016. Here, too, I don’t have a romantic story about how I always saw myself in this role and how I reached my goal. Both my introduction to yoga and my sharing of it began for reasons that seemed “outside of me” at first glance, but were actually through synchronicities that life had offered and aligned. To me, that is one of the greatest gifts and tools of yoga: how beauty and recognition are born in simplicity.


I am grateful to my teachers in Europe and Asia for the training I have received in Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, Tantra, and yoga therapy, spanning over a thousand hours, yet the core value lies primarily in experiencing this practice and the yogic way of life and worldview. I am grateful to everyone who comes to class and allows this practice to create a clearer connection to the purity within themselves, where the cup is full and the non-essential falls away.


Since 2023, Anastassia has been regularly teaching Ashtanga yoga and Yin yoga classes at the studio.
