About Us
Sagara is a sanskrit word meaning Ocean
Ocean is the source of all life forms and is the symbol of power, strength, life mystery, hope and truth.
The ocean teaches us that we are all connected. Everything we do echoes into the universe, and even the smallest changes can build into a positive life momentum.
"We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something."
‐ Mother Theresa
Our Story Started in 2018
Yoga Sagara Bratislava was established in October 2018. The foundation of our studio combines the physical with the inner emotional and spiritual journey. By integrating body, breath, movement and meditative awareness, we promote interdependence of all these aspects in personal health and wellbeing.
At Yoga Sagara Bratislava, we use our extensive training and in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche to share and cultivate awareness of one's own practice and life process.
Yoga is a Way of Life, not Just a Sport
Yoga isn't considered a sport or physical fitness. Yoga is a lifestyle and a way of living that can give us strength to face our difficult moments in our life.
Through our own experience and our past experience with students, we witness all forms of changes in their physical health, mental health and the positive mind state when facing our daily life. The beauty of yoga is not limited to the yoga studio and yoga mat but it can bring us strength to accept all changes and discover our inner hidden power.
Our main reason to name our studio "Ocean" is because the ocean itself demonstrates the source of power and the strength. We believe that we all are born with the same power and strength to make our lives beautiful. We are dedicated to provide a variety of classes, activities and experiences to bring our life to:
- Healthy living
- Positive thinking
- Proper relaxation
- Proper exercise

Daniela
Yoga and Aerial Yoga Instructor
Nutrition Specialist
Yoga has been an important part of Daniela's life for over 15 years. During this time, it took various forms, from being a physical exercise to becoming a meditation in motion, as well as a way of learning patience. Deep interest in learning more led Daniela to instructor courses in India and Thailand, and she has not stopped learning about yoga and its effects since then. Daniela believes in a holistic approach and that correct asana and breath work can greatly support the benefits of yoga and thus change the view of ourselves and the world around us. This affects how we communicate with others and most importantly, how we continue our journey from the yoga mat into everyday life.
