Gjenita Zekaj

Yoga teacher

I attended my first yoga class in 2016, originally looking for balance alongside my professional life. I quickly realised that yoga is much more than movement: it brings me inner calm, challenges me both physically and mentally, and has helped me become more aware of my breath. For me, yoga is a place to recharge, find strength, and arrive fully in the present moment.

Alongside yoga, horse riding has been part of my life since childhood. The respectful connection with horses taught me early on the importance of trust, patience, and mindful awareness between body and mind — values I also find on the yoga mat. 

Do you have any tips for Yoga newbies?

Don’t compare yourself to others and give yourself time. Yoga is not about flexibility or perfection; it is about getting to know your own body, breathing consciously, and finding your own path step by step. Listen to your body, enjoy the process, and take the time you need.
