Biljana Sykes

I began practicing yoga in 2000 after relocating to London from my native Macedonia, but I only truly began to understand its power when I was diagnosed with breast cancer eight years later. I made a complete recovery and yoga was an integral part of the healing process, which took me to a higher holistic level.

In 2009 I travelled to India and completed Iyengar training at the Yoga Gang Centre founded by Swati and Rajiv Chanchani in Old Rajpur-Dehradun, going on to study with renowned teachers in a variety of styles. Most recently I was certified in Vinyasa Flow RYT 200 after training with Vidya Heisel and Jennifer Yarro at the Frog Lotus Yoga International School in Costa Rica, 2012.

The sessions I teach are energising, non-competitive and relaxing, creating a practice which detoxifies both body and mind. My own yoga path is ongoing and I will continue to develop new understanding not only through my teachers but also from my students. In my classes as in my personal practice I want people to find a healing space protected from the pressures and stresses of modern life.

I feel blessed that yoga showed me the path of life and light and I hope to continue to share it with the world.

Natural look is an art! I am passionate about using colour and texture to create a strikingly beautiful look that does exactly what the occasion calls for. Great make up is not a mask one has to wear, it's a look of health and natural glow that shines from within.

I am pleased to say that my approach and attention to detail are appreciated by many loyal clients, both individuals and professionals in photography, film and TV.

Trained in LA, with professional film experience on international productions in Macedonia with the likes of Joseph Finnes, David Wennam, Ann Brochet, Adrian Lester and others, I am based in London and work in photography, film & TV as well as on special events.
