About the Vitosha neighbourhood
The Vitosha neighbourhood covers the area south of the ring road, at the foot of Vitosha Mountain. Vacation zones, new residential complexes, and houses with gardens are here. The proximity to Vitosha Nature Park offers countless opportunities for active recreation — from light walks to serious mountain hikes. The neighbourhood is quieter than central areas and attracts families and people seeking tranquillity with easy access to the city.
Transport to Studio Namaste
From the Vitosha neighbourhood you can reach the centre and Studio Namaste by car in 15-25 minutes (via Cherni Vrah Blvd or Simeonovsko Shosse Blvd). By public transport: buses to Vitosha metro station (M2), then by metro to the centre in 10 minutes. Combining car and metro is convenient during heavy traffic.
Yoga and the mountain lifestyle
Vitosha residents who love mountain walks and sports will find in Iyengar yoga a perfect complement. Yoga improves flexibility, which is key to preventing injuries during mountain hiking. It strengthens knees and ankles, improves balance, and teaches correct breathing — all skills that apply directly in the mountains. After a long hike, the restorative poses of the Iyengar method are ideal for releasing tired muscles.
