Ana Tepavac was born in Zagreb in 1971. She has had an interest in the invisible presence of energy around us and within us since she was a child.

In the lower grades of elementary school, she attended the Elementary School for Classical Ballet. There, she developed a love for movement and discipline of the body and mind.

She received her formal education by attending the Pedagogical Education Center, majoring in preschool educators, and the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation, majoring in speech therapy.

Her great interest in the functioning of the body and mind, especially the brain itself, led her to search for connections between the physiological and energetic in humans. She studied Ayurveda, chiropractic, bioenergy, astrology, and tarot.

From 1997 to 2003, she worked as a preschool teacher in several kindergartens in Zagreb.

In 2003, a major life change occurred when she found her first job in her profession at an elementary school on the Island of Vis, where she still works and lives today.

From 2008 to 2010, she attended the Transformation of Karmic Patterns training course of Tomislav Budak.

From 2012 to 2022, she was a recreational long-distance runner. During that period, she participated in several half-marathons and one marathon.

In Komiža, she first encountered the practice of Zen yoga, and for some time she led group yoga classes of combined styles.

In 2020, she attended the Ashtanga Yoga teacher training (YTT 200) of Tonči Gulišija, who has since initiated her into various Vedic mantras, rituals, and Tantra.

After all the experiences that mantras brought her, the journey to Bhole Das in India naturally continued.

He blessed her to, together with her partner Tonči, transfer the knowledge of this tradition to the West.

The past three years have been dedicated mostly to mantra meditation and personal yoga practice.
