About BYA The idea for a Balkan Yoga Academy came in 2015. At that time our lead teacher Anna Vesna worked with the Indian Yoga school Blue Pyramid Yoga Centre. While having classes there she, with her husband K.Konstantinov, decided to open a yoga center in Varna, Bulgaria where they live permanently. The idea was to deliver to the students authentic yoga experince by keeping the sources of yoga tradition. In 2017, after years of experience they opened together the Balkan Yoga Academy in Varna. Since the opening of Balkan Yoga Academy we teach straight according the directives of Yoga Alliance of America. Our program schedule is made strictly according the 200-hours script for Registered Yoga Schools RYS of the Yoga Alliance. Anna Vesna was born in Moscow where she met yoga in 2002. Several years later she went to India on a vacation. And since then everything has changed… Anna slowly realized that yoga is her way of life. She moved to India permanently and lived many years in a small village in Himalaya where she practiced. During her journeys all over India Anna met and took yoga classes with one of the best teachers. After almost 10 years in India she moved to Thailand in 2013. Anna Vesna did her first TTC-200hrs certificate with the Indian Yoga Alliance in Chiang Mai. And she started teaching there. In 2014 she did her next TTC-200 with the Russian Yoga Federation in Moscow. In 2016 upgraded to TTC-300 in Rishikesh, India. In 2017 Anna Vesna and her husband founded their own yoga school – the Balkan Yoga Academy in Bulgaria.
