Who am I?

A little bit about me...

Hello Yogi!

"My name is Martina and I created Yoga Time YAY for us! I am a Bulgarian by birth and roots, a Londoner by nurture and expression and a Lisbonite through transformation.
My inner compass guided me to set up Yoga Time YAY! - where children learn by staying curious, create with love and grow in connection. To themselves and each other, through the practices of kids yoga, family yoga and cooking.
Yoga cartwheeled itself into my life around 2004 and we've been friends since. It's been a journey! I settled into the world of children’s wellbeing by serendipity, in 2015. That's also been a journey! I like travelling, you see...
It is children's inherent sense of wonder and creativity and their capacity to love and connect that inspire me to stay enthusiastic, to grow in patience and believe in the magic that surrounds us all.

I am a certified Family Yoga Teacher, a Yoga Nidra and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique/ Tapping) Facilitator, a Second Degree Usui Reiki Practitioner, a Purpose Quest Facilitator and an Astrologer. I'm accredited by The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, Safeguarding certified, fully insured and DBS checked.

I believe wholeness is the essence of wellness and share the practices that make me feel as I was meant to. Whole.

I am also a poet, a sea lover, an earth protector and a crystal collector! A kirtan devotee and a Vata Pitta, always chasing blue skies and hot suns around the world!

I am a forever student of Yoga and I am lucky to be able to share its magic with you, as your honoured teacher! I can't wait to meet you and learn more about YOU!"
