For Ivaylo, yoga is more than just movement—it’s a way to find mental clarity and physical strength, flexibility, and stability. Once a part-time practice, yoga has transformed his life so much that it’s now his full-time passion.

Originally from Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivaylo has a background in dance, where he trained and performed professionally for over a decade. His journey with yoga and Pilates began in the UK, where he lived from 2013 to 2023. He is extensively trained, not only in yoga but also in barre and Pilates.

Ivaylo loves exploring new places and is currently discovering different spots throughout the Netherlands. His ideal getaway includes sun, sand, and sea, with a laid-back schedule to fully unwind. In Rotterdam, he appreciates the city’s multicultural vibe. A perfect afternoon for him combines some form of physical activity, fresh food, and a relaxing stroll, book in hand or catching up with friends.
