Ilian begins to engage in yoga driven by curiosity and interest in the dynamics of Vinyasa Flow. But immediately after his first yoga session, he realizes his miraculous action on consciousness, and from then onwards, he is no longer a hobby, but a necessity.
So, from a student of Santosha yoga, Ilian quickly becomes a yoga teacher for children. It skillfully combines the excellent approach to younger yoga practice and this is due to the fact that Ilian started working with children years before entering the world of yoga.
Another aspect of the life of Ilian, who makes him a great yoga teacher, is that he is the fourth year student of medicine at the Medical University - Sofia. As a young specialist in medical science, he is well acquainted with the physiology of man as well as with the various processes that take place in the human body. It is this knowledge, coupled with his dedication to yoga teachings, that he claims that yoga has, above all, a soothing effect on the mind and works as a curer for the successful removal of stress, which in turn inevitably improves physical activity and creates great harmony for the spirit and the body.
His whole vision is that one can overcome every difficulty and conquer every tip as long as it achieves an internal balance.
