"I've always loved dancing... I was looking for a place where I could do it - comfortably and to music that resonated with me at least to some extent:)... it was the beginning of the 90's in Lithuania, Klaipėda... and there were very few such places. In 1995, I organised my first party for myself and my friends with some friends, playing electronic underground music, and in 1997 I started playing music from vinyl records. I became the first female dj in Lithuania.

I experimented with mixing different styles. Then I felt that I wasn't just playing for myself, it was like an education that the world is much wider... And music helps to explore it, the space, our body, emotions...

I didn't have any idea about meditation back then and the word yoga seemed taboo...

After 10 years I started to meditate, to go deeper into body practices, and became a teacher of body architecture, but dancing and music are also very important companions in life and instruments to connect with oneself and the universe...

I dance a lot. Alone at home, everywhere there is music that takes and carries...

With the wind, with the air, with the sea, with the river, with the trees, with the meadow...

I dance and make soundtracks of melodies from all over the world, in different styles, that make me feel a warm shiver inside, that send shivers through my body and make my insides expand...

Music is for me an instrument to learn,

to experience, to expand, to remember, to radiate..."
