Semra Kikic

Semra Kikic is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). She has been teaching yoga since 2012, although she has been interested in Eastern philosophies, mysticism and spiritual practices for much longer. After completing Philosophy and Sociology BA in her home country, she received a Master’s Degree in Indian Philosophy and Religion at Banaras Hindu University in India. During her stay in India, she learned yoga from several different teachers, mostly from Yogi Siddharth, the Nath Sampradaya devotee in Varanasi. She has been practicing reiki since 1996 and recently got familiar with the technique of vipassana meditation in Dhamma Karunika Center, Karnal, India. She also spent some time learning martial arts, worked professionally as a photographer and musician (guitar, vocals, percussion, DJ-ing, music production, and performances), cooperating with regional activists and alternative artists, and occasionally published texts and poetry. Her main drive has always been the transpersonal experience, mystical, ineffable. In hatha yoga, she found many benefits and simplicity that comply with the eternal law of nature. Her teaching style is traditional, emphasizing that yoga is a set of self-healing, self-discovery, life-affirming tools for spiritual development.
