🙋♀️ Meet Your Guide — Kotryna
Hi, I’m Kotryna — yoga & meditation teacher, well-being educator, and founder of SAMA U Yoga.
For years, I was the one who took care of everyone else first. A mum of two, working in corporate leadership roles, always busy — even though I seemed calm and grounded on the outside, I wasn’t actually taking care of myself.
Like many women, I believed self-care needed to be a one-hour yoga class or a longer break, a perfect ritual of some kind, complicated, out of reach in my daily life. And because I didn’t have that much time… I did nothing.
Everything changed when I began studying the science of yoga, breathwork, and meditation, became a certified yoga teacher, and learned how small daily practices could completely shift how you feel, your mood and the state you are in.
This is why I designed the 24-Day Self-Care Advent Calendar: to give you accessible, realistic tools that support you — even on your busiest days.
My experience:
- Taught 200+ students live and online
- Led workshops for companies like Nespresso and InnoPark
- Co-created and delivered multiple yoga and nature retreats in Switzerland
- Created online courses blending movement, mindfulness, and science-based tools
- Corporate background in marketing & consumer insights (10 years)
I combine calm, compassion, and scientific curiosity — and I am here to support you through winter with practices that truly make a difference.
