The secret of success. In elementary school, she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics for several years. I remember that stretching was easy for me, without strain. However, due to injury, classes had to be interrupted. Later, at a more conscious age, I was engaged in various types of fitness, oriental dances, salsa, flamenco, choreography … At the institute I taught aerobics for about a year. Once I was attracted by sports ballroom dancing and our love with them lasted about 7 years. Then I started attending yoga classes. I tried myself as a yoga teacher.
