"Hello, my name is Yulia Forde (Sinyavskaya),
Welcome to my site dedicated to a holistic approach to health and happiness!" 🙂
Hi beautiful souls! On this site I share the methods that I've been practicing for almost 20 years to maintain physical and mental health as well as help others to do so. The methods are very diverse, so the resource turned out a little like a delicious pizza. However, the essence of all the methods is one – the ancient science of achieving wholeness (that's where the word "health" comes from) Yoga.

I am convinced that we are here to discover and reconnect with the Source of Love and Peace within ourselves. And for this we just need to get rid of what doesn't belong to our true nature - our illusions of separateness, insufficiency and our instant habit of judging. This is actually healing from pain caused by our separation from this Source. And this is exactly what the goal of Yoga is – a return to wholeness.

For me Yoga is Life. This is the way Home. And you can practice it in different ways, and not necessarily on the mat, performing cool twists and bend or super long breath retentions. It is in the first a path to developing acceptance, humility and compassion for both yourself and others.

This is the road to Damascus, which requires great courage to see the light and be honest with yourself. This is a path that does not allow haste. Are you ready to stop? Then you will walk in Joy. After all, when we can stop and contemplate, we rejoice. And this is the Art of Yoga.

I try to develop both a scientific and intuitive approach to the practice of yoga and especially yoga therapy, combining them into a single yogic (=holistic) method.

How did I become a yoga teacher and yoga therapist? I came to this on a very winding path. From a forgotten childhood dream of becoming a doctor, through working as a lawyer and learning many painful lessons that my body taught me. And I'm still not a wizard, I'm just learning! I learn with every breath I take. I study and thank God and Life and everyone who meets me on this Path, teaches me and learns with me.

This is a study that lasts more than one life, perhaps. It happens here and now, at every moment of our lives, with every single breath we take and give. And basically - that's all you need on this path: to live here and now, on Earth, and remember Whose beloved child each of us is. And daily yoga practice helps great deal to stay present to this greatness of ours! I wish you peace and joy!
