Una Torbica is an experienced yoga teacher, functional movement specialist and founder of Hothaus Yoga. Having lived and travelled across a number of countries over the past 20 years, she is now settled in Switzerland where she runs a Hot Yoga and Movement studio, offering yoga classes, workshops and yoga retreats both in Switzerland and internationally. Una came to yoga 15 years ago and has completed her RYT 200 in Hatha and Hot Yoga in London, UK. She has been practicing and teaching Hatha, the 26x2 sequence, Vinyasa and Power Yoga but she found her true home in the heat and has developed Hothaus Yoga Method: a comprehensive, inclusive and innovative system of hot yoga sequences that blend different styles of yoga, movement and functional range conditioning. Una's teaching style reflects her belief that yoga practice is a very intimate and personal process of growth and she approaches each student as a unique individual while encouraging their self-exploration, mind-body connection, and self-awareness.
