Namaste!

I am Diana, Yoga teacher and Gong Master. Also, the woman behind Cub. I have always searched to reconnect elements of my own biography and to discover what’s the deal with me being born, what do I have to do in this world and how can I make the best out of it authentically and compassionately.

I travelled quite a lot very determined towards a direction which looked serene, and yet I felt the road is not mine to walk. On this road, though, I discovered Yoga. In the beginning without realizing what kind of effects it will produce in my life, I started to practice. On and off in the beginning until I developed consistency. It took me some years to understand how innocent I was in this inquiry. How far I travelled to search myself, when, in fact, the answer lied down in my inside univers all along. And here the real journey actually started.

In the winter of 2022, after almost 4 years of practice, I pivoted and travelled to India, in an ashram (traditional Yoga school). There were valuable lessons hanging there in my karma and I refused to have a look at them until that point in time. Gradually, the road felt like was indeed mine to walk this time, so I just kept going.

The decision to start teaching was an organic answer of how things looked like for me during my Indian getaway. Never actually wanted to start teaching, my travel to India was mostly about me tasting the flavour of the ashram life. Yeah, sure…..fast forward and look at me now!

I am not an enthusiast of diplomas and titles, though I understand their necessity introduction wise. So here they are:

  • Yoga Teacher Training 200hrs in a Yoga school (ashram) at the Himalayan mountains foot - Yogada ashram, accredited by Yoga Alliance International, where I studied Hatha Yoga - Hindu filosophy and mithology, sacred Yoga texts, asana | physical posture, Pranayama and meditation techniques, Restorative Yoga, as well as foundations of Kundalini Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga

  • Restorative Yoga Teacher Training - accredited by Yoga Alliance YACEP

  • Yoga Nidra Teacher Training - accredited by Yoga Alliance YACEP

  • Gong Master Practitioner (Sound Therapy) - trained by Elisabeta Ghelber

  • various Gong Masterclasses with Don Conreaux (father of Planetary Gongs) and Yaelle Shaphir (his daughter)

  • Ayurveda - first level of study with Romanian Association of Unconventional Medicine

Please, rest assured. Commercial spirituality bothers me as much as it bothers you. This is why my guidance blends a mixture of biology, science and philosophical approach. Yoga is an extensive act of presence in one’s life. Because Yoga is not only a philosophy or a technique, it is everything we consciously experience on this road we call “life”.

Cub used to be a physical location until June 2025. Which strangled me all the way. Yoga was no longer giving me freedom, just helped me to be creative enough to develop yet another coping mechanism to make things to eventually work out. But, sometimes, “enough is enough”. That was basically the whole reason for me changing the course of my life: living with Yoga - meaning love, freedom, truthfulness. So, the next I know is, Cub continues its journey, but in a more flexible and vivid form.
