The aim of this training is to dive deep into the yoga teaching and practice: by understanding the cosmic geometry of your body, the Yantra (machine) which carries you in this world, you will restore your connection to the intelligence that goes beyond the intellect; We call this Mukti or self-realization. This training is rooted in the philosophy of bhakti-yoga and the ancient practice and legacy of Adi-Yogi: Shiva the original Yogi. (The OG)
Open to all Yogis and teachers of any type of Asana, this training is designed to make you a very proficient and exemplary yoga teacher through the careful study of philosophy, anatomy and verbal instruction.
Beyond yoga, students will be introduced to its sister science, Ayurveda. Ayur stands for life, and Veda for knowledge, therefore Ayurveda represents the ‘science of life’, an ancient medicinal and lifestyle tradition that perfectly complements yoga. The two together form a perfect toolset for a healthy, wholesome lifestyle! Keep the body healthy with yoga asana and Ayurvedic healing and nutrition principles, maintain mental and emotional peace, and find balance with mindfulness lifestyle practices.

Matea Zajec began her yoga journey at a young age, practicing bhakti-yoga, meditation, and asana. When she was a child, she suffered from various illnesses, until her mother found Ayurveda and she was quickly cured. That turned Matea, and her mother Adriana, towards a new path, and her mother became an Ayurvedic specialist, and later a doctor. Matea assisted her mother in her healing center from a young age.
In college, Matea lived in an ashram, rising early for meditation and practicing Seva, or selfless service, while studying ancient yogic texts and theology books. She graduated with a degree in Eastern Religions and Philosophy, and has been teaching yoga history, Bhagavad-Gita and Yoga Sutras in teacher trainings for years.
After years as a yoga teacher, she founded Hari OM Yoga & Wellness, aiming to offer the beautiful teachings of yoga and Ayurveda to the world. Matea is an E-RTY 500, and holds a 200hr certification in Vinyasa yoga, a 200hr certification in Anusara Yoga (both from prominent US-based Yoga schools), 300hr certification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda (from Rishikesh, India yoga school). She is also an Aerial and SUP yoga teacher, Tibetan singing bowl sound healer, Ayurvedic practitioner, Jyotish Vedic astrologer, Meditation teacher and Reiki master.
Matea is the lead teacher in the 200hr Yoga & Ayurveda

He is also a software engineer and marketing expert, and Hari OM yoga teacher RYT-200.
He will be offering his expertise in yoga practice, sadhana (daily routine/lifestyle), yoga philosophy, and some advanced Ayurveda topics.
Taking my yoga teacher training at Hari OM was the most transformative experience of my life. My instructor Matea is full of knowledge and wisdom. She is an incredible instructor who wants all her students to succeed. I feel confident in my ability to teach classes because of all the practice this training offers. My favourite aspect of the course was learning yogic philosophy and Ayurveda. I’m forever grateful to be apart of the Hari OM family.
I had an amazing experience with Hari Om Yoga in Croatia. My instructor Matea is a wealth of information regarding yoga, Hindu philosophy and Anatomy. I liked that she's more traditional in her approach than other teachers who have changed yoga from its roots into a hybrid that is almost unrecognizable. She's full of love, life and passion for her practice and has made a life changing impact on me.
My experience at Hari OM was a transformative, educational, and life-changing experience! Exceptional instruction in a caring, loving environment where you feel safe to really explore what your gift is as a yoga teacher. The course also combined deeper than typical teachings in philosophy of yoga plus Ayurveda – great additions! I highly recommend this course.
