About us

Our journey together began in 2018. After years of dreaming, planning and building, we started a new chapter in Croatia. ZenCycle is the result of our shared vision: a place where movement, balance and connection naturally come together.

We’ve spent years working toward this goal – not just to create a venture for ourselves, but more so to offer a meaningful experience to others: a space to grow, explore and challenge yourself – surrounded by nature, community and good energy.

ZenCycle is more than a project. It's how we live. And we'd love to share that with you.

You're welcome here.

My yoga adventure started in 2012. I was looking for a new hobby that I could easily practice alone and at home. A hobby that also fits in with my healthy and sporty lifestyle. Yoga therefore seemed to me "a match made in heaven". I was quickly sold as soon as I discovered Tara Stiles' YouTube channel. Her yoga style made me feel like I was dancing on my mat. I couldn't get enough of it and so I started doing yoga fervently, every day, until today.

After practicing yoga intensively for three years, I started to feel the urge to delve deeper into the yoga world. That's why I decided in 2015 to travel to New York on my own to take my first Yoga Teacher Training with, yes, my great idol, Tara Stiles. In 2016, a year later, I completed my 200h Yoga Teacher Training at Shiatsu Yoga Mediterraneo in Spain. After this training I felt that I was capable enough and that I was prepared to stand in front of a class. For three years I taught non-stop yoga classes in various fitness centers. I could finally share my passion with other motivated yogis. Since my eagerness to learn has no end, after three years of teaching I once again looked for a new challenge and wanted to improve my yoga skills. In 2019 I made the decision to follow a 300h Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand at Pujan Yoga: a four-week tropical adventure where my love for yoga has only grown.
Because I have followed these educational teacher trainings and since I spend an average of seven hours in a class every week, I feel qualified to guide you through your yoga practice in a safe and professional manner. I explain each pose step by step, paying attention to correct alignment, so that you can follow my classes almost blindly. Moreover, I strive to offer varied lessons, so that you are constantly surprised and challenged.

Yogis with any background or any level can take my classes. Sufficient alternative poses are offered for beginners and for seasoned yogis I provide advanced options here and there. My skillset includes Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Power Yoga, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. This allows me to guide groups that want a calm and relaxing style as well as groups that prefer an active and dynamic flow.

With more than 10 years of experience on the bike, I am convinced that my passion for the outdoors and my technical skills make me the ideal guide for your adventure.

My love for mountainbiking started as a personal passion, but quickly grew into a ‘calling’ to let others experience the joy of this exciting sport. Over time, I have not only refined my skills as a cyclist, but I have also learned how to understand and exceed the unique needs and expectations of diverse groups of participants.

Through NIMG's Guide training and the Bike Repair evening school, I am committed to offer not only adventure rides, but also educational clinics where participants can improve their skills while enjoying beautiful landscapes.

Not only my technical ability, but also my ability to create a positive and safe group dynamics, make me a versatile MTB guide.
My priority is always to create an atmosphere of trust and enthusiasm, where each participant is encouraged to push their limits and enjoy the adventure.

As an avid outdoor enthusiast, I am also committed to environmentally conscious mountainbiking. I encourage sustainable practices and consciously try to minimize the impact of outdoor activities on the natural environment.

I hope to inspire like-minded people to ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy all the beauty that nature has to offer us.
