Masha is originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, but was raised in Chicago, IL. She was introduced to yoga by her mother at a young age and has been avidly practicing yoga since she was a teenager. Masha’s personal practice really took off when she moved to Paris in 2010. Alone in a new place, yoga helped ground her. Embracing the fact that yoga could help with stress and anxiety, she began to expand in her physical and mental practice, finding a love for Vinyasa Yoga. In 2016, Masha received her RYT 200 certification at The Studio DC in Washington, D.C. Since then, she has been teaching both group and private classes in Washington, D.C., New York City, Portland and online.
