About Me

Gabriela Ružeková

RYT 500 Yoga Alliance Teacher • Level 2 ASI-CONI Massage Therapist (Italy) • Naturopath

For more than ten years, my daily life has been enriched by practicing and exploring various styles of yoga, breathwork, meditation, the study of Vedic texts, and the chanting and recitation of mantras with masters and teachers from around the world.

After years of studying in yoga schools, I decided to become a yoga teacher and earned my RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certification at Akasha Yoga Academy in Bali. The academy is inspired by the teachings of Krishnamacharya, widely regarded as the 'father of modern yoga', and is aligned with Tantric traditions.

In India, I discovered Ayurveda with its healing therapies, treatments, and rituals, as well as the restorative power of Ayurvedic cuisine, which continues to support and strengthen me. Yoga, Ayurveda and Plants – Guides Through My Life is the title of my thesis, with which I completed my Yoga and Ayurveda studies in Bergamo, Italy.

I studied Naturopathy at the Italian School of Holistic Medicine (SIMO) in Milan, specializing in phytocomplements. During this five-year program, I gained practical experience in techniques based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spagyric medicine, Bach Flower Remedies, psycho-energetic techniques, and kinesiology. Most importantly, I experienced firsthand and came to understand the essential role of nutrition in everyday life, learning how to combine foods appropriately and eat according to their energetic, therapeutic, and nutritional properties as taught by various cultures and traditions. I completed my 1,600-hour study program with a thesis entitled Synergies Between Plants and Humans.

I also began my journey into massage therapy in Milan. I completed a 224-hour professional training program at the Diabasi Massage School, specializing in holistic massage. I continued my education through courses at the Accademia Italiana Massaggi, Elitropia, Biosintesi, and the Centro Studi Benessere in Bologna, and further expanded my expertise with training in foot reflexology, craniosacral therapy, crystal therapy, ThetaHealing, Thai massage, and Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage. I am a certified Level 2 massage therapist.

Living with respect, staying connected to nature, and nurturing the harmony between body and soul allow us to feel at peace with ourselves and live in love, balance, and harmony with both ourselves and the world around us. ❤️
