Fotinia Efremova
Psychologist, sexologist, teacher and practitioner.
I first encountered Kundalini Yoga at the age of 32.
During my work with people with drug addictions, finding ways to restore energy was a pressing task.
Afterwards I spent some time trying Kundalini Yoga and Hatha yoga. Over five years I travelled to India, where I studied Tantra yoga and received tantric initiation. But traditional Yoga does not take account of gender differences; it considers them unimportant. And observing myself, I came to the conclusion that it is more of a male practice, and that gender matters a great deal.
I have worked as a psychologist and gestalt therapist since the age of 26. I run training programmes. And I am also a sexologist.
After my experience in yoga I began to go deeper into body-oriented psychotherapy and Bodynamics.
At 42 I went through a trauma, followed by a hormonal breakdown. My sense of myself and of life changed; I turned back towards myself and my femininity and began looking for a way to return to who I had been. I met Nune Rojas and the practice of hormonal Yoga.
And a stage of bodily and emotional healing began for me.
Today I have begun teaching hormonal yoga. And I am gathering all my knowledge in sexology, body-oriented therapy, psychosomatics, bodynamics, biosynthesis, gestalt therapy and hormonal yoga, along with all my experience, into a single direction — practices for women. To help women, to improve their lives and restore their health.
I am 47, married, with 5 children. What do I do in my free time? There is not much of it. I study lithotherapy; stones and metals are my passion. I love spending time alone with my husband, I love nature, I study theosophy, I read, I practise yoga and I do a little embroidery).
I teach yoga online, outdoors and in a home yoga studio) I like running classes in an intimate, welcoming setting close to nature (ed.)
As for results — I have only a little teaching experience so far, but feedback and thanks are already coming in: women’s menstrual cycles are returning to health) these results make me very happy and confirm that I chose the right direction. I always think with gratitude of Nune, her method, and the chance to study and discover this wonderful yoga for women!
I live in Smolensk and teach online and in person in my home yoga studio)

Yulia Kotova
For over 12 years I have taught women around the world how to restore and maintain a youthful face on their own, without harming their health: through facial gymnastics, self-massage techniques and natural skincare.
I am the creator of my own method of natural facial rejuvenation, “FaceExpert”.
Besides facial gymnastics, I am an instructor in women’s Taoist wellness practices.
And since March 2020, a hormonal yoga instructor.
“I have always been interested in ways of keeping all the systems of our body healthy and functional for many years.
I saw that possibility for myself in hormonal yoga too.
I practise hormonal yoga almost daily.
I get enormous pleasure from it. I feel how responsive my body has become; an inner calm has arrived and at the same time my energy has increased.”.
