Born in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, I practiced, taught and competed professionally in martial arts, karate, kickboxing and Thai boxing in Europe, and had the honor of studying with the great Dominique Valera of France. After two decades of training, my knees were so badly injured that I had to stop competing and teaching. It was at this point in time that yoga came into my life.

After being introduced to Ashtanga yoga, I took private classes for three years with Marcia Solomon of Ottawa, who now resides in Boulder, Colorado, where she teaches at Richard Freeman's Yoga workshop. It is through Marcia that I had the privilege of becoming a student of Richard Freeman.

I practice and teach a free style of Hatha yoga with a focus on flow and alignment. A certified massage therapist specializing in Shiatsu, I have also studied the art of oriental chiropractic techniques in Taipei. I was a co-owner of Santosha Yoga studio in Ottawa before moving to Taiwan in 2007. Since then I have taught thousands of students in Taiwan, China, Thailand, Austria and Bosnia. Presently, I teach at Space Yoga in Taipei, where besides teaching regular classes, I conduct workshops, intensives and teacher trainings.
