23/ 07/ 2025

Listen to online Stop   In a time when daily life is filled with constant pressure and uncertainty, more and more people are seeking space to pause, reflect, and restore their inner balance. That’s exactly what theSouthern Ukrainian Office of the European Business Association offered during its mindfulness session “Returning to Yourself”, held on July 22 in “YogaDome” Odesa . The event was opened by Kateryna Morozova, Head of theEBA Southern Ukrainian Office, who emphasized the importance of emotional well-being as a key part of both business resilience and societal strength: “We are used to staying alert, reacting instantly, keeping everything under control. But even the strongest need time  to recover. That’s why we create such spaces — for support, shared presence, and reconnecting with ourselves.” The session program included body-centered and mental practices aimed at deep relaxation and inner realignment conducted by Andriy Sakhno, a physical practitioner, a trainer in hatha yoga, fly yoga, kvajai yoga, Animal Gymnastics, Thai massage, and the owner of a yoga studio in Sumy. Participants went through a series of stress-relief techniques, including restorative yoga designed to calm the nervous system. A special highlight of the session was sound healing — the vibrations of singing bowls created a meditativesoundscape that helped participants reconnect with their inner-self. The leaders of the harmonization were composer, poet, multi-instrumentalist, master of throat singing, Voice Yoga teacher, sound therapist, frontman of the band Solar Plexus - Sergey Golovin, and poet, actress, member of the band Solar Plexus - Natalia Poddubna. After a short tea break and informal conversation, the group transitioned into the final practice — a guided meditation titled “Creating Kind Relationships with the Future.” It was conducted by Alexandra Domanova - coach, bioenergetics, teacher of Kundalini yoga and transcendental therapy, head of “YogaDome”. This powerful exercise helped participants focus on their own innerstrength, define meaningful intentions, and feel grounded in the present while looking ahead. This event wasn’t about escaping reality — it was about returning to oneself to face that reality stronger,  more centered, and more connected. We sincerely thank to YogaDome and all its masters for their hospitality in an extraordinary experience, and to all the participants for their openness and energy that made this session truly special.
