Founder of Tbilisi Yoga Community
Kati came to yoga at age 16 with poor posture after a minor car accident. Without sporting experience, yoga seemed to her a real challenge, but the goal was to get rid of the displacement of the vertebrae to become more enduring and balanced.
"This is how I got to know yoga therapy. Over the years, my practice evolved to include hatha yoga, and I embarked on my journey to become a certified Yoga Flow teacher through the Saint-Petersburg School of Yoga.
In 2010, I went on an endless journey. Started in Asia, where I studied yoga with different masters. Then took a 200H TTC in Yoga and Pranayama in India and a 100H TTC in Prenatal and Postnatal yoga in Spain. Additionally, I obtained certification as a Yin yoga teacher. Among my most profound influences were my experiences with Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India, Forrest yoga under the guidance of Ana Forrest (USA)."
For the last 16 years, Kati has organized a several workshops and yoga retreats worldwide, including India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sweden, Greece, Russia, and Georgia.
She is the visionary behind the Tbilisi Yoga Community, established in 2019, and the proprietor of two studios: Tbilisi Yoga Loft and Tbilisi Yoga Villa.
"I firmly believe in the uniqueness of each individual and the significance of every moment. Through my classes, I strive to create a safe space where students can unlock their potential with confidence and love."

Since 2016, I have been practicing yoga, and I started teaching it in 2018. My teaching method is based on the teachings of the Sri Vidya tradition of Tantra, which focuses on leading the jiva (our soul) towards enlightenment. This path not only results in better health and increased energy but also leads to spiritual growth.

FAQ
- Student:Can I teach yoga with a 200-hour certification?Academy:Yes. Generally, a 200-hour certification is the worldwide accepted standard for teaching yoga.
- Student:Do I need to register as RYT 200?Academy:It is not mandatory to register as RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance (or any other yoga teacher federation) for you to teach. You can teach just with a 200-hour certification. In some countries, however, registering as RYT 200 might increase your credibility if you are looking for a job.
- Student:Are all 200-hour courses the same?Academy:Not at all; some 200-hour courses don’t cover even a fraction of other courses. While choosing a course, it is essential to examine the curriculum and research if the training suits your needs and expectations.
- Student:Where course will take a place?Academy:Classes will be held at Tbilisi Yoga Villa (Saburtalo branch), on Otar Oniashvili, 37
