Our Story

My name is Alena Karlovská and I come from the Czech Republic. I’m currently living in Wadi Rum and I have my own company providing tours in the desert. I changed my life a lot to stay here in the desert but my passion doesn’t change and it’s dancing. I dance all my life and I want to bring a little bit of dancing and artistry into the desert. Wadi Rum desert is so beautiful and inspiring - It’s artist too actually and when we put this art together we can create something special not just around us but also inside of us. 
Thanks to my professional dancing career I have knowledge and contacts in the dancing and yoga business that I can provide for you not just the best teachers and professionals but also people I trust and know well. Svatava (Yoga teacher) is one of them. So we're looking forward to creating a new journey with Luna Releaseness.

Our
Stages

Yoga Stage
 

We want to have continuity and a connection all week, so it’s gonna be more of a yoga journey than just classes. We will focus on different body parts and connect them through asanas and breath. We want to bring awareness to our bodies and breathing, so we can consciously use them in life. We will also use different spaces for lessons. We will start with touching all aspects of our bodies. We will bring more awareness to our breath. Then continue to focus more on our core and balance. Then try to ease our edgy states of mind by opening our hips, legs and lower back. Throughout the week we will try to find the right balance between dynamic and stillness. We will also enjoy the sun salutation by the sunrise and meditation techniques by the sunset. 
Classes will be suitable for everybody. Previous yoga experience is not necessary, but will be an asset. 

YOGA TEACHER: 

Svatava Kobzová (CZ)

Dancer, Yogi, Teacher

 

Svatava has been in motion all her life. She started dancing in 1999 and she hasn’t stopped since then. She dances contemporary, street styles, African dances, oriental etc. She is teaching, mentoring and choreographing. She has been doing shows for Tv, Commercials, Fashion shows, Theaters, Site specifics.

13 Years ago, she came across Yoga and it taught her how to reverse the energy, she has been focusing constantly outwards, inward. Also it helped with body damages she collected, when she was younger. After some time she found Boston Yoga teachers and she did teacher training with them in Prague in 2012, so she got YTT200. After that she went to New York and found Kula Yoga and stayed there for a month to get inspired even more. After that she started to teach yoga in Czech and it is balancing her dancer's life till now. She taught in companies and studios. Also individually, special groups (like dancers, stunts etc.) She also taught abroad in Sri Lanka and Spain. She considers herself a constant student and explorer.

Dance Stage

Dancing stage is open for everybody; it doesn’t matter if you’re a dancer or not. I would call it  more DANCE THERAPY than dance class. As I announced we want to have a connection so our dancing sessions will be connected to our yoga sessions because we want to support the final result of well being. We will put more awareness into our body, mind and senses. We will connect our movement with the music and we will be trying to find freedom in our expression. 

DANCE TEACHER: 

Alena Karlovská (CZ)

Artist, Dancer, Teacher, Choreographer

My dancing career started early on as I was dancing since a very young age. In my teen years, I founded my own dance school and started choreographing. I remember I felt hungry for knowledge and education and that has stayed with me. I visited countless workshops in Europe where I learned from the best dancers in the business.
I love to improvise when I can discover my body, my mind and create my own vision of a dance, simply being myself. I try to touch people's hearts and shake their emotions through my choreographies. As a choreographer; I'm a storyteller. I mostly focus on Popping style in battles but I'm a versatile dancer overall and love all genres and styles. 

Certification and awards: Coach of the year 2018 - prod. Czech Olympic Committee,  Winner of internship in Los Angeles - prod. Best Dance Group 2018, Choreographer of the year - winner of internship Broadway Dance Center New York 2017.
