ABOUT PETRINA

Petrina was first introduced to yoga at the age of 16 in her native Slovenia. About 10 years later, her career as a professional modern dancer and choreographer in Europe was ended by injuries from a car accident. As part of her healing journey, she (re)discovered yoga, meditation (Shambhala and Vipassana), and healing arts. Before becoming a full time yoga teacher and therapist 15 years ago she has studied and practiced shiatsu, taught macrobiotics, eastern and western approach to nutrition at the Gulliver’s Institute (now Institute for Integrative Nutrition). 
She honors the Krishnamacharya lineage of yoga, and is deeply grateful to her most influential teachers: Nancy Gilgoff (Ashtanga - studying with her in Maui was life changing), Mary Sinclair (Iyengar), John Friend and Desiree Rumbaugh (Anusara Yoga), Eric Schiffman, Nateshvar Ken Scott (with whom she has completed Contact Yoga and DansKinetics teacher training), to Rodney Yee, David Swanson and Shiva Rea for the incredible guidance through the advanced vinyasa yoga teacher training, and Sarah Powers (Yin and Insight Yoga). There are others, including her students, who continuously remind her of the power of studying and practicing the wisdom traditions.
