Кristiana Bakalova first encountered The Art of Living and the Sudarshan Kriya technique in 2013. The Art of Living - Part 1 and the principles taught in the course inspired her to completely transform her life and dedicate herself to teaching yoga.

She became a Sri Sri Yoga teacher in Bad Antogast, Germany. Since 2022, she has been leading the Art of Living – Part 1 course, and from 2023, the children’s programs Art Excel and YES. In 2025, she also joined the organization’s most magical program – the Intuition Process for children.

Christiana continues to be inspired by the deep healing powers of the practices, gifted by the founder of The Art of Living, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and by the experiences shared with her by course participants. This motivates her to reach more people and share these ancient and invaluable practices.
