Founder
Izabela Marić
Certified Yoga & Yoga Therapy Teacher (1300+ hrs) | ICF PCC Professional Certified Coach | Founder of Verbasana Yoga | International Retreat Leader
Namaste, my name is Izabela. I discovered yoga more than two decades ago, and it has since become the foundation of my life—a path of self-discovery, healing, and service.
I am a certified yoga teacher and therapist with over 1300 hours of training, including:
- 800 hours with Yogacharya Jadranko Miklec (Institute for Yoga and Ayurveda Sunce)
- 300 hours at S-VYASA Yoga University, Bangalore, India (ITEC alumnus)
- 200 hours at Gaia Yoga Center, Zagreb
- An additional 200 hours of education in yoga therapy and prenatal yoga
In 2015, I founded Verbasana Yoga Studio in Zagreb, Croatia. I currently offer:
- Group and individual yoga classes
- Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for Moms and Babies
- Yoga therapy sessions
- Sound baths & guided meditations
- Workshops, retreats, and holistic coaching sessions
- Online Wellness Coaching Training
I studied Indology and Russian at the University of Zagreb and have traveled to India 15 times, spending winters in ashrams and deepening my understanding of yoga, Sanskrit, and Ayurveda.
From 2022 to 2025, I served as President of the Croatian Yoga Federation, organizing yoga conferences and national celebrations of International Yoga Day, in close collaboration with the Embassy of India and the Ministry of AYUSH, with whom I continue to work today.
In addition to my yoga path, I am an ICF PCC Professional Certified Coach and a certified Holistic Coach through Radiant Coaches Academy (USA). From 2021 to 2025, I served as the International Retreats & Education Ambassador for Europe at Radiant, and also as a trainer in Holistic, Chakra, and Yoga + Meditation Coaching in English, Croatian, and Russian. I am also a co-author of the book Radiant Self, available on Amazon.
Today, I lead international retreats around the world, including India, Bali, the USA, and Europe, as well as a retreat aboard the Wellness Cruise with Tatiana Cameron Tajči. I’m currently developing my long-held dream project, the Yoga Garden on the Kupa River: a green sanctuary for yoga, nature, and community connection.
I believe we are the authors of our own lives, the creators of our peace, and the designers of our reality. It is my joy and purpose to support you on your journey toward wholeness through yoga, meditation, and holistic coaching.
