Hi, I am Iva, an Art Historian and Curator, Art Advisor, Yoga Teacher and Embodiment Coach.
Creativity has always been part of my life. I grew up in a family of architects and art collectors and then I studied art history and theory, arts and culture in Bulgaria, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands. My Cum Laude MA from Leiden University (the Netherlands) led me to explore contemporary visual arts and what can they contribute to the societal issues of the present-day world, and, as a result, my PhD research at the University of Barcelona investigated the role of visual arts in rethinking the human relationship with water. ​
​
Yoga came into my life while living in Amsterdam and it soon led me to
a life-changing experience: inspired by arts, yoga, philosophy, exploration,
movement, love, the scent of a new place I visit, I traveled through Central
& South America and completed my Yoga Teacher Training with the School Yoga Institute in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Since then, I’ve been travelling to teach yoga, and I am currently based on Costa Blanca in Spain.
​
Currently based on Spain’s Costa Blanca, I work as an art advisor through my advisory Costa d’Arte, curate exhibitions, and guide others through yoga toward deeper self-connection.
