From a young age, I have been passionate about helping others achieve balanced health and harmony. I completed my midwifery training at Medical School in Belgrade, Serbia, but soon realized that physical wellness alone was not enough. Thus, I moved to Greece to pursue yogic and spiritual training at Satyanandaashram Hellas under the guidance of Swami Sivamurti Saraswati. There, I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in yoga’s authentic and ancient teachings, specifically the Satyananda System of Yoga, founded by the esteemed Swami Satyananda Saraswati. This school of yoga is recognized for adapting classical yoga to modern needs through collaboration with scientists and doctors.

 In 2005, I was initiated into poorna sannyasa by Swami Niranjananda Saraswati, a spiritual successor to Swami Satyananda Saraswati, and was given my spiritual name and the title of Swami Savikalpananda Saraswati. Sannyasa is a path of self-discovery and self-mastery that requires years of training, discipline, and dedication. I completed my first teacher training course in 1989 and have since attended many more in Greece and India at the renowned Bihar School of Yoga, which is Satyananda System of Yoga’s headquarters and one of India’s leading recognized yoga schools.
