Yoga Teacher
Maxim studied Yoga in Hong Kong, India, and Vietnam.
Although he practiced many sports before, including football, skiing, and mountain climbing, he had never practiced any gymnastics or specific flexibility trainings prior to starting Yoga.
After meeting some inspirational spiritual leaders, he felt that his true calling was in Yoga and was amazed to notice how quickly and efficiently a regular and dedicated practice can improve the body and at the same time clear the mind.
He is passionate about teaching Hatha Yoga and Sanatana Dharma. Teaching his students has never felt like a job to him but like his devotional service to God and society, which brought him to Bhakti Yoga path.
His lessons are suitable for those who can challenge themselves, and change their being on both physical and spiritual levels. He believes that only by moving beyond our limits the true progress can be achieved.
