A Bit About Me

Practice came first.

“I have always been interested in what changes through direct experience — not only through ideas.”

My path has crossed several worlds: martial arts, technology and engineering, meditation, Yoga, Thai bodywork, Tai Chi, Chi Kung and inner work.

I began with martial arts when I was young. The discipline, repetition and direct feedback of practice stayed with me. Later, while studying and working in Information Technology and engineering, I developed a more analytical and practical side — something that still influences the way I teach today.

From the 1990s onward, meditation and Yoga gradually became central. I studied and practised in Greece, Spain, Thailand, the Czech Republic, Canada, Romania and India, learning from teachers in different traditions without feeling the need to reduce everything to one system.

What matters to me now is simple: direct experience, careful observation, honest communication and a practice that can actually become part of everyday life.

Teaching Lineage

With gratitude and respect for my teacher.

My main Vipassana teacher was V.R. Dhiravamsa (1934–2021). His approach brought together Theravada Buddhist insight practice with a deep psychological understanding of human experience.

His teaching influenced the way I understand meditation: not as a belief system, but as a direct way of seeing clearly what is happening in body, mind and experience.

Areas of Practice & Teaching

Different disciplines, one common direction.

Different methods can point toward the same thing: a clearer relationship with the body, the breath, attention and inner experience.

Samatha and Vipassana Insight Meditation, taught progressively through practice, reflection, discussion and personal guidance.

03

Tai Chi & Chi Kung

Slow conscious movement, standing practice, coordination, breath and body-awareness work shaped by long-term training in internal arts.

Thai Massage & Bodywork

Training & Experience

A long path — without turning it into a résumé.

The numbers matter less than what years of practice teach: patience, discernment, adaptability and respect for the person in front of you.

Some of the places that shaped this path: Greece, Spain, Thailand, Czech Republic, Canada, Romania and India.

Earlier professional background: Information Technology and engineering — a practical, analytical influence that remains part of how I explain and structure practice.

Monastic Training in Thailand

Practice within the rhythm of monastic life.

Thailand was not simply a destination in my training. It was where meditation entered the full rhythm of monastic life.

My training included several months of intensive Vipassana practice and periods of temporary monastic ordination at Wat Ram Poeng (Tapotaram) and Wat Phradhatu Sri Chom Tong Voravihara, two established centres of Insight Meditation in Chiang Mai.

I later returned for several retreats at Wat Pa Tam Wua, a Theravada Buddhist forest monastery in Mae Hong Son, Northern Thailand. Its natural setting, daily practice and shared responsibilities offered another way of understanding how meditation can extend beyond formal sessions into ordinary life.

How I Teach

The person comes before the method.

Good teaching begins with honest communication. I observe, listen and adapt the practice to the person in front of me — their experience, body, rhythm, needs and goals.

I do not want a student merely to complete exercises. I want the practice to help them understand themselves better through movement, breath, attention and direct experience.

“I do not teach a method mechanically. I adapt the practice to the person.”
