Andrey Lappa's 200 and 500 Hour Teacher Training at YogaFlex! Individual weeks and master classes are available to attend. Please see the events/workshops page for more details.
Andrey began to teach yoga professionally
in 1987, and in 1991, his qualification was confirmed with a
certificate from the Indian Embassy in Moscow, authorising him
to teach yoga as a profession in the former USSR. In 1994 the
Ambassador of India in Ukraine rewarded Andrey with an
opportunity to study at the Yoga Institute with world famous
teacher B.K.S.Iyengar. That was his first visit to India, but
Andrey subsequently travelled, studied and lived in India,
Nepal, Tibet, China for extended periods of time. He continued
to develop his own yoga practice, studying with B.K.S. Iyengar
in Puna and Yogacharia Rudra at Sivananda Ashram in Rishekesh in
the Himalayas foothills.
Amongst Andrey's many other achievements and experiences - he was the first Russian speaking student to study with renowned yoga teacher Sri K. Patthabi Jois of Mysore; he personally visited His Holiness Dalai Lama at his Dharamsala residence where he received his blessing; he practised various types of meditation and took part in an initiation ritual at Osho ashram with Bhagavan Sri Rajnish - where he was named Chetan Uttsarga -"Gifted with Consciousness"; he trained in the ancient Indian martial art - Kalaripayatu in Trivendram and also ancient styles of Indian dance - Bharata Natiam and Odissy with two of the best Indian masters, Guru Nath Jena and Pratibha Nath Jena, as well as the art of Zyong-Shin (Vietnamese yoga) and Viet-Vo-Dao. During his many travels, Andrey took the opportunity to study not only with famous yogis but also with lesser known, yet sometimes more authoritative and irreproachable teachers and sadhus, expanding and extending knowledge about the practice and spirituality of the Yoga Tradition. Since 1999, Andrey has been the president of Kiev's Yoga Federation. Possessing many key principles and a deep understanding of yoga technology essence, Andrey uses a wide variety of the most effective methods and yoga styles in his practice and teaching - which has led to students developing superb abilities, consciousness and freedom from spiritual dependence.
Andrey continues to spend extensive periods
of time in retreat each year at a monastery in Nepal, practicing
under the guidance of Choje Lama Phuntsok.
