My name is Makhina Dzhuraeva. I was born in 1990 in Tajikistan and moved to Russia with my family at the age of 10. From an early age, my life has been closely connected to the arts: I studied music, dance, and theatre, which shaped my understanding of the body and movement.

Since the age of 16, I have been working professionally in theatre, participating in stage productions and performances, and studying dance and physical theatre directing. Since 2011, I have been working with the renowned DEREVO Theatre in Germany under the direction of Anton Adasinsky, performing in all productions and creating my own solo projects. Working in the theatre has taught me to deeply feel the body, space, and movement — skills that I joyfully bring to my yoga classes.

My yoga practice combines breathing techniques (pranayama), work with bandhas (“body locks”), and conscious movement inspired by my experience in dance and theatre. In my classes, we develop flexibility, strength, endurance, balance, and mindful body awareness. Regular practice strengthens deep, often underused muscles, stabilizes the spine, and opens new possibilities for movement.

My classes address all dimensions — physical, energetic, emotional, and intellectual. Each session concludes with a deep shavasana incorporating elements of Yoga Nidra. The practice is suitable for all levels: I always adapt it individually to each student, regardless of experience.

I believe that yoga is not just a set of exercises, but a path to mindfulness, harmony, and freedom of body and spirit. My classes create a space where art, movement, and breath come together to help you find inner balance, develop strength and ease, and experience the joy of movement.

Classes are conducted in Russian and English.
