My name is Irina (Ira) Shtern. I'm a mother of two amazing kids, a nutritional therapist at foodconnection.life, and a Yoga Alliance-accredited instructor based in Carshalton. Since 2012, I have taught private and group classes primarily around Sutton, Cheam, Wallington, Carshalton, and Banstead. I have also been delivering the EPP (Expert Patients Programme) course at NHS Kingston Primary Care Trust for people with various chronic health conditions. It was during my MBA studies that I started practicing yoga. As my passion for yoga grew steadily more intense, I gradually moved into teaching. Having studied various forms of yoga, I always design a course with a variety of styles and build the course specifically for the individual needs. It is important to remember that we all are different and that we need to listen to our body, pay attention to our needs and exercise at our own pace. We are not in a hurry, Life is not a race… if it were then what happens when you reach the finish line?
