I am not new to yoga. But I have never experienced a teacher like Nadia. Her depth of knowledge, empathy, ability to demonstrate the postures and insane! flexibility are exemplary. However, it is her deep attunement to the core teachings of yoga and genuine interest in meeting each student where they are that inspire and make each session with her an opening into oneself. Thank you Nadia!

New York City, USA/ Chennai, IndiaNadia’s wellness retreat in Turkey was truly a transformative experience. It felt like more than just a retreat—it was a space to slow down, reconnect, and grow. Nadia’s teaching went deep, not just into the postures and breath but the intention behind every movement. I understood more about these aspects of Yoga than I ever have before. What truly set Nadia apart was how present she was with each of us. She met us exactly where we were and gently guided us toward where we needed to be. Her warmth, deep compassion, and incredible knowledge created a space that felt both safe and inspiring. Over the course of the week, what unfolded was more than just a retreat it became a vibrant, soulful community grounded in presence, growth , and so much fun! Thank you Nadia!

    I used to be super-aerobic, playing high school and college lacrosse as well as pickup ‘Y’ basketball, when I was younger, then jogging frequently, playing tennis and hiking in the Rockies as I got older. Somewhere, somehow something damaged my lungs (doctors don’t know why) and I get easily winded when exercising, especially in the Colorado mountains, where we live half the year.

    A year or so ago, I started working with Nadia on Yoga breathing exercises. Although they won’t heal my lungs, they’ve made a major difference in helping me breath more fully, deeply and efficiently, while helping me recover quicker when winded. Altho I’ve never been one for routines, I now spend 20-30 minutes every morning practicing my breathing techniques.

    Nadia has even convinced me to adapt a few Yoga exercises – which I don’t especially enjoy – but realize they help my flexibility, alignment and posture.

    Turkey Wellness retreat May ‘25 I went to this retreat with no precise expectations. I only knew I wanted to bring something home with me. A learning, an insight, a practice…I came home with much more! Indeed I came home with Nadia’s super detailed explanation of how to do every pranayama and asana right for maximum benefit (I discovered muscles in my body I wasn’t so aware of :), but I also came back with so many laughs, some tears, deep conversations and hopefully lasting connections. I came home with all I needed.

    Turkey Wellness Retreat May 2025: A Transformative Experience The Turkey Wellness Retreat exceeded all my expectations! Initially, I anticipated a focus solely on breathing, yoga, and meditation, but this journey profoundly reshaped my understanding of wellness.

    Under Nadia’s expert guidance, I discovered the power of quieting my mind through breathwork and the importance of slowing down to fully engage with each movement in every asana. Her calm demeanor, patience, and personalized attention helped me maximize my practice and deepen my connection to myself.

    The retreat also emphasized the significance of forging new bonds and stepping outside our comfort zones as essential components of well-being. Nadia’s vibrant energy fostered a supportive atmosphere, transforming our group into a close-knit community of friends. We laughed together, shared experiences, and uplifted one another throughout the retreat.

    I returned home with far more than just new techniques to incorporate into my daily routine. I gained a profound reminder to be present in each moment and cherished bonds that I hope to continue. This retreat was truly a celebration of wellness in every sense.

    Thank you Nadia

    Nadia’s Turkey Wellness retreat was everything I didn’t know I needed. I thought the yoga and pranayama portion would be an easy, light and gentle flow. But Nadia taught pranayam and yoga in a way that I had never experienced. She was grounded and present and guided us to instinctively be grounded and present as well – in each inhale and exhale and in each asana. We went deep, finding our edge, our alignment, and ultimately ourselves in our breaths and poses. Nadia gave her all and worked individually with each one of us with so much kindness, patience and love. Her energy was contagious and created a beautiful synergy and bond between all the attendees that I’m sure will only continue and deepen. What an experience…Thank you Nadia! You are a gifted teacher and a beautiful soul.

    I chose this picture because it captures just how comfortable we became with one another. We started as strangers, unsure of how we’d come together—to being so free to express ourselves with both vulnerability and abandon. This was the essence of the retreat where we could flip flop from deep spirituality to a barrel of laughs and fun. It really was such a unique experience.

    Thank you Nadia and Ayeda

    I’ve been taking pranayama lessons on an ad-hoc basis with Nadia for the past few years and can attest to the efficacy of the practices taught by Nadia. Lineage is important when learning such energetic work, and Nadia’s classical pranayama is a practice that I can trust and work with. On Nadia the teacher – she is compassionate, kind and empathetic. I highly recommend starting or deepening your pranayama practice with Nadia, she’s one of the best yoga teachers I’ve met. Thank you Nadia!

    I have been practicing yoga on and off for over 20 years, but it wasn’t until I started learning from Nadia 1.5 years ago that my practice truly transformed. Not only is Nadia knowledgeable and skilled, but she also has an ability to observe and correct subtle details in postures that my previous instructors had overlooked. For the first time, I feel like I am truly understanding and aligning my body correctly in poses. Her hands-on adjustments and clear explanations have helped me unlearn bad habits and develop a safer, more effective practice. Nadia’s classes strike that good balance between challenge and mindfulness, leaving me feeling stronger, more flexible, and centered after every session What sets Nadia apart is her genuine care for her students. She takes the time to understand each person’s needs and tailors her guidance accordingly. Her calm, encouraging approach creates a space where I feel both supported and motivated.

    I am grateful to have found Nadia as my instructor. She has renewed not only my interest with yoga but also helped me to motivate my parents in their 70s to learn yoga. Her patience, kindness, and ability to adapt the practice to their abilities and needs have been remarkable. Thanks to Nadia, they’ve not only improved their flexibility and strength but also found a renewed sense of calm and well-being.

    I will highly recommend Nadia to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and inspiring teacher…

    I met Nadia in 2018 during a challenging time in my life, struggling with postpartum depression. My body felt weak, I was exhausted, and my mind was in a constant fog. Nadia’s yoga classes became a turning point in my healing journey. Over the course of 1.5 years, attending her sessions weekly with my husband, I began to reconnect with my body and deepen my intuition. Nadia is not only a skilled and passionate teacher but also a compassionate and intuitive guide. Her soothing voice, clear instructions, and ability to tailor her teaching to each individual’s needs make her sessions truly transformative. She understands that every body is unique and adapts her approach accordingly. Nadia has become more than a teacher—she’s a friend, and I am deeply grateful for her support. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking healing, balance, and personal growth…
