Wiktoria Skokowska
Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher in Puerto de la Cruz.
I'm Wiktoria, a yoga teacher and currently at the helm of Tushala Yoga Studio in Tenerife.
I began teaching in 2019, while I was still working as a fitness instructor. Very soon, yoga began to transform the way I live. One of its first lessons was teaching me to move my body from a place of care rather than demandingness.
Over time I began to deepen my understanding of its teachings, and in 2020 I completed my first 200-hour training with YogaRenew. During the pandemic I continued developing my personal practice and, little by little, yoga ceased to be just an activity and became a philosophy of life: a way of living with greater presence, more awareness, and a kinder relationship with myself. From there I also discovered that yoga transforms the way we relate to others, helping us live with greater listening, empathy, and connection.
Over the years I have moved several times, and in each place I've lived, I've sought to continue practicing and sharing yoga. I've taught classes and workshops in both Poland and Spain until arriving in Tenerife and taking on the responsibility of continuing the Tushala project.
In 2024 I traveled to India to connect with the roots of this tradition and completed my advanced 300-hour training with Himalayan Yoga Association. Since then I have continued studying and learning with teachers who inspire my path, including David Cabezas (Rocket Yoga), Parveen Nair (Embodied Yoga), and leading teachers in Poland such as Małgorzata Kobus and Magda Gebert, with a particular focus on applied anatomy and specialized movement, including work with backbends and other posture families.
I come from the world of dance, and it was the fluidity of Vinyasa and the creativity of its sequences that first made me fall in love with yoga. But over time I learned to appreciate what each style offers: the stability of Hatha, the repetition of Ashtanga, the energy of Rocket, the stillness of Yin, the therapeutic nature of Restorative Yoga, and the deep work of breath, concentration, and meditation.
Today I dedicate my life to this path and to sharing it with others, knowing that each person can find something different and valuable within this practice.
Because yoga doesn't need to be perfect. It only needs to be true.
