My journey so far...
Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, I have been drawn to exploration and new cultures from a young age. My journey of self-discovery truly began with my first international move to Hong Kong, where I was introduced to mindful meditation, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Qigong, Tai Chi, and Ayurveda. This transformative experience sparked my deep connection to the yogic path.
Years later, after moving to London, yoga became my anchor, helping me stay grounded amidst change. I discovered the dynamic energy of power yoga and hot power yoga, which resonated deeply with me. This connection led me to embark on a lifelong journey of learning and teaching, continually expanding my knowledge and practice.
I had the absolute joy of studying Vinyasa Yoga in the beautiful Canary Islands, where every sunrise felt like a gift. And let’s talk about my mentor—Jo! What a find! She learned from some of the most incredible teachers, and I feel beyond lucky to have her guidance.
But of course, I didn’t stop there! I’ve attended amazing retreats, studied with brilliant teachers in Bali, and immersed myself in sound healing, Tibetan singing bowls, and a whole world of transformative practices. And guess what? There’s always more to discover. Yoga is a lifelong adventure, and I’m loving every step of it!
And now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you. Yoga is not just movement—it’s a journey back to yourself, a way to heal, grow, and connect. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening your practice, I invite you to join me on this beautiful path. Come flow, breathe, and transform with me—at my retreats around the world or wherever our yoga journey takes us!
Yulia Bystrova

Yulia is an exceptional yoga teacher, she combines experience, skill and knowledge in her classes and retreats. She is extremely talented and teaches several forms of yoga - Vinyasa, Yin, Power and Sound Healing. My personal favourite is Vinyasa! Her vinyasa classes are simply amazing, she builds to a fiery flow that almost mirrors dancing, creating a powerful, yet calming energy.

“After my arrival from a long-haul flight, Julia gave me a private Yin Yoga session. She explained the importance of stretching poses and combined with soothing relaxation phases to me, this session was the perfect recipe to get my body and mind relaxed, ready for the coming days of work! Julia is a very professional, highly skilled teacher with the ability to create a well rounded and soothing yoga experience!”
