Practitioners' reviews

Discover what people think about our clases

I really enjoyed morning yoga and breathing exercises . It felt amazing to stretch after being in two airplanes and three hours of Taxi ride.

Aigel Khadeeva, New York, USA

The Yoga was focused on breathing, and was far more relaxing and enjoyable than the challenging "power yoga" i've been used to. It was such a pleasure to focus on delightful sensations, rather than intense workouts.

Our classes are synced with the Moon’s rhythms.

Our classes vary each day, flowing in sync with the lunar calendar. Depending on the energy of the lunar cycle, we offer Hatha Yoga, meditation, or breathing practices. On the New Moon, Full Moon, and the 9th, 19th, and 29th lunar days, our practice is dedicated entirely to meditation and breathwork.

Who teaches the morning classes?

The classes are led by the founders of Casa Yoga Minca, Alex and Katya — professional teachers with decades of study and personal practice.

KATYA GOLDINA

Yoga teacher, transpersonal psychologist, and breathing coach.

He began practicing Hatha Yoga at the age of 13, in 1988. He is a follower of the Nath yoga tradition and the Bihar School of Yoga. In 2015, together with his wife Katya, he founded the integral yoga and breathing center "Casa Yoga Minca" in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia. Everything Alex does is connected to breathing. Therefore, his yoga practice is imbued with deep breathwork and air retentions, making the execution of every asana a journey inward and an expanding of one's own boundaries.

ALEX AMARNATKH

Therapeutic Yoga instructor, holistic facilitator and therapist, wife, and mother.

Katya was born in Russia in 1982. Her spiritual path began in India with the practice of yoga in 2006. She is a Hatha Yoga, pranayama, and prenatal yoga teacher. For Katya, yoga is much more than stretching and physical activity; it is a therapy where breath and mindful attention bring the emotional and mental bodies into balance.

Katya is also a family constellation therapist, a facilitator of Mandala Dance practice for women, and the creator of the "Heal Your Roots" process. Her two wonderful children were born naturally at home.
