Satsang: TAPAS - hosted by Zorana & Flo

Tapas

Discipline. Austerity. Order. Inner Fire.

Is the idea behind Tapas only achievable when we submit ourselves to a “no pain, no gain” mentality? Or is another interpretation possible – one that invites us to slow down, approach ourselves with curiosity, and reflect?

Tapas comes from the Sanskrit root tap – to burn.

Join Zorana and Florian on 16 August in our beautiful studio in Mitte as we explore the transformative power behind the third Niyama of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

LOCATION: Three Boons Yoga Berlin-Mitte, Brunnenstrasse 29, 10119 Berlin or on our 3Boons Live-Stream

Costs: Free if you took the class right before, otherwise by donation for https://www.tierfreunde-niederbayern.de  or 3YB/USC Login.

Everybody is welcome ❤️

Zorana

Zorana’s interest in yoga began with a question she has carried since childhood: Who are we beyond the identity printed on a passport? She was born in a country that no longer exists — an experience that shaped her curiosity about belonging and what remains when external definitions fall away.

For Zorana, yoga is rooted in the classical definition from the Yoga Sūtra:
Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ — Yoga is the suspension of the fluctuations of the mind.

To her, this means loosening the constant coloring of the mind — the judgments and narratives through which we interpret the world. It is not abstract, but the willingness to sit, breathe, observe, and allow space.

For a long time, she believed strength meant staying productive and managing everything well. Only later did she recognize how easily busyness becomes avoidance. Turning toward what arises, rather than covering it, is where practice begins.

Zorana has been teaching since summer 2023. In August 2025, she began her mentorship with Rowena Johnson, whose trust and guidance continue to shape her work as a teacher.

Alongside her teaching at Three Boons, she works as a seminar leader in medical centers across Germany, integrating yoga into neuro-orthopaedic therapeutic settings. She also works as a consultant in the public sector.
