Instructors: RNDr. ALENA VYDROVÁ (instructor of breathing techniques Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko method). Tel. 721 636 578 (also SMS), alena.vydrova@borago.cz I graduated from the Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague and professionally focus on botany. Besides traveling, I spend my free time on herbalism and photography. I have been practicing yoga for over 22 years, but have been more intensively dedicated to it for the last 11 years. In 2018, I completed the training for a second-degree yoga instructor at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Prague, specializing in Hatha yoga. In 2017, I participated in the Czech Yoga Sport Championship and the European Yoga Sport Cup. In 2018, I again competed in the Czech Yoga Sport Championship and in December of that year at the World Championship of Yoga Sport in Beijing, China, where I placed 5th in the 'senior women' category. From 2017 to 2022, I taught yoga in Beseda and at the Regional Hygiene Station in České Budějovice. I currently teach yoga in Včelná and at the Pauline Center for Healthy Movement. I am currently educating myself in new trends not only in yoga but also in nutrition, breathing techniques, and meditations. In December 2024, I completed the Oxygen Advantage Instructor Course. In February 2025, I completed the Buteyko Method Instructor Course (CertBBM). ALENA BÁRTÍKOVÁ In my work, I connect functional breathing, body work, nervous system regulation, and a therapeutic approach. I work with children, adults, and seniors and have a long-standing interest in how breathing, bodily experiences, and psychology together influence our health, inner stability, and quality of life. I am a certified instructor of Buteyko Clinic International and the author of the NEURO·SOMA·MIND approach, where I connect functional breathing, conscious work with the body and mind. I also draw from many years of experience in helping professions and working with people at various stages of life. An important part of my professional journey is ongoing education and seeking connections between the body, psychology, and the nervous system. I am currently studying Applied Psychotherapy and further educating myself in somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, polyvagal theory, and functional breathing as well as TCM. In my work, I emphasize respect for each person's individuality, creating a safe space, and practical tools that can be transferred to everyday life. I believe that change does not have to start with a big step. Sometimes it begins the moment we learn to perceive our breath, our body, and ourselves again.
