Hi there, I’m Ivu
A holistic therapist.
I fell in love with ayurveda and holistic healing SO MUCH that I actually moved from Prague to the Himalayas to dive into it. To live it. I am healing my chronic digestive issues here, studying and working with Dr Arun Sharma at his Dharamsala clinic. I am constantly in awe with life, the mountains, and the occasional teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
My story
I grew up in a small village in Central Bohemia. I studied at the university of humanities in Prague. I always enjoyed teaching and sharing knowledge. I spent a couple of years after school as an English teacher, then I switched to teaching street dance, then yoga… which eventually brought me to India in 2019, when I got to meet Dr Sharma, to study Ayurveda and fall in love with holistic health care.
Apart from holistic health care, some of my greatest passions have always been music, dance, arts, handcrafts, healthy baking, food tourism and enjoying plenty of relaxation in life.
My life can be neatly divided into before and after LA (that’s where I took my first yoga class), before and after India (that’s where I found Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda), before and after my Ayurvedic Therapist course (that’s where I found myself from a whole lot of new perspectives)… I could go on.
Frankly, it’s safe to say I’ve made a nice habit out of these huge milestones and U-turns. And oh my, how I love it. It’s not a bad habit at all.
There have been many such milestones. The process of change itself, however, remains the same: what used to be a miserable, unhealthy, unaware being is slowly growing into a healthier, more balanced self. It’s still me, it’s always been me, but with each milestone, I’m even more me than ever. I’m exploring and revealing my true self. And I consider that healing.
Yoga and Ayurveda have helped tremendously in this journey towards self. They have provided me with many tools, and that’s why I love sharing them so much. The truth is, though, that none of those tools are responsible for the change. I am.
Every step I took on this journey was a choice. It was me who stopped torturing my body with unhealthy habits. It was me who noticed that my chronic digestive issues are telling me something important. It was me who listened. And it was me who packed up my stuff in 2022 and moved to India to give this healing process my everything.
Holistic health is, first of all, an aware journey towards self.
Holistic therapy is so powerful only because it places all the power and all the responsibility back into our own hands.
I invite you to join me on this journey towards self.
All you need to do now is get in touch.
