The Heart of Inquiry: The Art of Asking Powerful Questions for Clarity and Growth (EN/RO)
Part II: The Heart of Inquiry—The Art of Asking Powerful Questions for Clarity and Growth
Note: Completion of Part I is required to attend Part II.
What happens when we stop trying to “fix” each other and start truly listening? 🌿
I am excited to share Building Communities of Care, a journey designed specifically for those who would like to reconnect with themselves and their communities. Together, we will empower one another through active listening, presence, and powerful questions. This is not a “one and done” type of experience. It begins with two foundational sessions and it is designed to establish a peer coaching practice for mutual support and growth. We are building a community of care and support where participants can continue to practice and uplift each other long after our initial workshops.
The Journey
Building on the connection we established through active listening and empathetic reflection in Part I, we move into the power of the question. You’ll learn to ask the kind of curious, open-ended questions that spark clarity and empower others to verbalise their challenges and their truth and find their own heart-centered solutions and next steps.
You will learn how to:
- listen for the words that lead to the heart of the matter
- clarify the “what” and the “who” in a situation
- deepen awareness of the values and needs involved
- move from insight to action
🌱 Maximum 12 participants for Part II. This allows us to dive deeper into our practice and continue to build genuine trust within our growing community.
Ongoing Support & Bonuses:
✨ Monthly Peer Coaching sessions including coaching demos, peer practice, and Q&A.
✨ Access to a Community of Care: A support network for and by conscious individuals like you, rooted in active listening and asking powerful questions.
✨ A digital toolkit to support your journey long after the workshop ends.

https://sambodhi.ro/organizer/?fesection=organizer&feparam=732Hi, I’m Viorica and I am a Mindfulness Life Coach, Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), and Sound Healing Practitioner. After 12 years in Asia, I moved back to Romania and decided to make Bucharest my home. While working as a teacher in China and Thailand, I came in contact with mindfulness life coaching, the Zen Buddhist teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and various forms of yoga and sound healing. Having experienced and witnessed the effects of stress and burnout among educators and other professionals, I decided to change paths and dedicate my work to well-being and self-care. I bring with me a love of mindfulness, yoga, and a deep desire to create safe spaces for others to integrate self-care into their lives and thrive. My intention for my life is to live with joy and ease, listen to my heart, and cultivate love every day. I love dancing (salsa, bachata, kizomba), genuine human connection, and playing badminton and ping-pong just for fun. I’m looking forward to connecting with you.

An amazing experience. Thank you, Andreea and Catalina for guiding us through this experience. 🥹 and the place was amazing!
Lidia’s serenity and calming presence transcends through her yoga practice. After every session I feel reborn. Strongly recommend
When I first started teaching yoga, I was told: "You’ll face a lot of challenges at the beginning". And that turned out to be true. The beginning can be uncertain, full of questions and moments of doubt. But those challenges become lighter when you’re surrounded by the right people — those who truly support you.That’s exactly what I found at Sambodhi Studio, and especially in Marius, the one who leads it. From the very beginning, when I started teaching yoga at Sambodhi, he offered genuine support — always present with a calm and highly professional attitude. He responded to every message promptly, resolved any issue quickly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. That meant the world to me in those early days.The studio itself reflects the same care — always clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully organized. You can clearly see that it’s maintained by someone who puts real heart into this work.Thank you, Marius, for being there — steady, kind, and supportive.If you’re looking for a place where yoga is held with integrity and warmth, I strongly recommend Sambodhi.Cristiana Ilie
I love this place for the diversity of experiences of different classes and teachers. There are so many cool people you can meet here. Thank you!
I’m truly grateful for my experience at Sambodhi. The peaceful atmosphere and thoughtful design make it a perfect place for mindfulness and relaxation.A special thanks to Irina Scerbina, whose Hatha Yoga classes are both grounding and transformative. Her gentle yet effective approach blends Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation, creating a deeply enriching practice. She adapts to all levels, making each session feel personal and inspiring.I highly recommend Sambodhi, and if you get the chance, don’t miss a class with Irina—her teaching is truly a gift!
Thankful for the owner to have created such a place, where people can come and take care of themselves in whatever way fits them. And where people that have a calling to teach or accompany people in their growth journey, can do so.
I found this place by sheer luck (& google) and it’s wonderful. They have a variety of classes, warm atmosphere and great instructors. Definitely recommend!
It’s all very welcoming, like coming home. The stuff is attentive, the space is breathable. I come there to connect on a deeper level with other beautiful souls 🤍
Lots of different classes, like-minded people, many studio rooms, central. I like going there, there’s always something interesting to attend.
I highly recommend.Best Yoga studio in Bucharest. And i love this Studio. It's affordable, and for the reasonable price, You can find really great classes from truly great teachers. I've been practicing yoga at Sambodhi for more than 2 years now. I met so many great Teachers,peoples with very kind heart.Also i met my first yoga teacher Elena in Romania. Every sunday i go her class at Sambodhi. So for me Sambodhi is like a Home.I Would highly recommend Sambodhi to All Yogis.
Lovely yoga studio, plently of classes where to choose from, available every day, nice events and retreats. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
I attended a few classes and workshops until I became a regular at Rox Barbulescu's class, that I highly enjoy. From the beginning, I appreciated the atmosphere in the studio, all classrooms are nicely decorated, and everyone is nice and welcoming. I recommend this incubator to everyone, specifically mentioning the wide variety of classes, from yoga, pilates, to meditation, qigong and so on. Really lovely place!
Extremely grateful I've found a place like Sambodhi, cause it's more than a place which has all sort of classes, practices, workshops etc. It became a part of my personal healing and growing journey, it's where I've met wonderful human beings that otherwise I most likely wouldn't have met. I've found here support and empathy and an overload of kindness and acceptance. Regardless of which class/practice I'm going to I always feel better, happier, more relaxed, more aligned and without exception I always leave Sambodhi with a smile on my face and thankful I've made it yet to another class. So give yourself this gift that Sambodhi has to give cause it can take sooo many beautiful forms! In a world that tends to be grey, Sambodhi is a 🌈. Namaste 🙏❤️
A superlative experience,a reaI yoga practice that helped me more than anything with my health problems,there is a practice for each style of personality,some slower and some faster.There are more fine teachers that I could recommend,one of the new apparitions is IRINA SCERBINA.Very thankful to the owner and to all the team!
My very happy place where I can meet myself. This is not a studio it is a place for the soul. There is attention to every detail, in beautiful house of golden age Bucharest.
I started at Sambodhi with the yoga sessions and I liked the energy of the place and the people so much that I became a collaborator and now I teach collage workshops. It is my favorite place to relax, find myself and escape from the daily stress of Bucharest.They have a variety of self-connecting workshops through yoga, dance, meditation, creativity, it's impossible not to find something that resonates with you.The teachers are very well trained and attentive to the needs of the students, the environment is friendly, set up in such a way that you can detach and connect with yourself. And the prices seemed very good to me.I recommend the studio with all confidence!!!! 🙏❤️
Amazing experience about calm, finding peace and working the body !Always will find a warm welcome with smile and open heart , great teachers ( my favourite Cristina )and for this I am grateful!Thank you !🙏
We loooooved the studio and the class! Everyone was super friendly and kind. They have several different classes at different times of the day. We did Back Pain focused Yoga for 11 EUR and it was incredible. We loved the teacher and loved that she did it both in Romanian and English so that we could understand the class. 100% recommended.
I love this place. The owner is very friendly and went out of his way to show us around and make us feel welcomed. I recommend it to anyone looking to get out of the quotidian and enjoy some peace and relaxation.
I went to Sambodhi every week in the past month, to yoga classes, guided meditation, reflexology, workshops on manifestation, feminity and family constellations and I can say that the place has a magic of its own. The energy created around there is nothing but pure bliss and enlightenment.The people coming there and the facilitators are kind, open and willing to provide help or support to all the other participants.The facilitators are mostly freelancers so the bookings are made with each of them in particular, also the payment, directly to the facilitator.The studio easily reachable by public transport, being at 13 min walk from University metro station.There is also a small room where you can change, but the belongings must be taken with you in the class as there are no lockers.I truly recommend this place for everyone looking for peace and to learn new technics for emotional self management.Hope to see you there :)
Un loc magic ✨ inspirat din natură în centrul orașului. O comunitate de oameni minunați care pun multă pasiune și iubire în ceea ce fac. Clase de Yoga adaptate pentru orice nivel și disponibilitate, pentru cei matinali sunt clase de dimineață iar cei cu ziua mai plină se pot relaxa seara după agitația de peste zi. Workshop-uri și ritualuri, meditație samanică, constelații, locul in care indiferent cine ești, poți doar sa fii, sigur îți vei găsi tribul și o activitate cu care vei rezona și îți va umple sufletul. O lume mai mica in lumea asta mare și agitată, plină de iubire și armonie creată de un om minunat. Întoarce-te la tine, la natura ta, onoreaza-ți mintea, trupul și sufletul.Namaste ✨
Super peaceful lovely place to work out relax. All the instructors I’ve been to are great, they adapt flows and classes to the level of the participants. Great experience every time!
Beautiful studio, with great instructors and sense of community. Each instructor brings something unique to their teaching style. There’s a variety of classes to choose from and yoga mats/equipment available if you don’t have your own. It is a kind and warm space and I couldn’t recommend this studio enough!
Was looking for that place where you can combine mindfulness, mediation and yoga practices in one place. And the studio offered it all! Everyone here, be that staff, guest or teacher, feels like a close, warm friend ☺️ I recommend Sambodhi to all levels of yoga practitioners 💜
Great place, I recommend! The studio is a comfortable, energetically pleasant space in the heart of Bucharest. Most of the instructors are English speaking. But, on the other hand, doing yoga and further shavasana in an unfamiliar language forms new neural connections in you;) I wish you wonderful classes in Sambodhi!
Sambodhi Studio is amazing! The rooms are really nicely arranged. You really feel at peace there. Also, there is a great diversity of courses (either more meditation to really energetic yoga). I can only recommend this place :))
Am mers de la mai multe ori, la diferite clase la Sambodhi si impreuna cu mine am mai convins 3 persoane sa vina. Cu totii am fost foarte incantati de fiecare data.Ma ajuta mult atat din pdv fizic, cu durerile de spate, cat si din pdv psihic, linistindu-ma si ajutandu-ma sa ma relaxez. Imi place programul lor si faptul ca pot sa platesc de fiecare data strict pentru clasa la care merg. Clasele sunt foarte variate.
Locatia este super frumoasa, luminoasa, spatioasa, este echipata cu tot ce ai nevoie pentru a desfasura un workshop de succes! Am fost foarte placut impresionata de ospitalitatea, proptitudinea si energia minunata a gazdei, Marius este un om deosebit care te asista cu multa bucurie in orice ai nevoie.Recomand cu mare caldura oricui cauta un spatiu pentru desfasurarea unui atelier.Iar ca participant, ai de unde alege, exista o multitudine de ateliere, sustinute de oameni minunati care aduc atat de multa bucurie in inimile participantilor.Mereu revin cu placere!
Since I discovered the place, I came every week for a very authentic yoga practice. People in the studio are nice and friendly and have a good range of yoga classes. Although I stick to Cristina`s class because for me was the best combination of yoga movements and meditation.
Cautam un studio unde sa pot tine clase de yoga si am venit sa vad Studioul Sambodhi. Mi-a placut felul in care este amenajat studioul, faptul ca este localizat in centru, intr-o zona in care gasesti locuri de parcare daca vii cu masina, dar poti ajunge usor si cu alte mijloace de transport. De asemenea, m-a impresionat curatenia studioului, acest lucru fiind remarcat si de participantii la clase :) Atmosfera este una foarte prietenoasa, Marius are grija ca toti cei care trec pragul studioului sa fie intampinati cu caldura si sa se simta bineveniti.
An amazing place for self discovery and much more. The space is superb, the host so nice and all the people finding their way to here are so nice.Is not only yourself that you find in here, but also great people.The light, the smell and the sounds, all cozy.Highly recommend.
Daca stai sau treci prin Bucuresti, iti recomand sa ajungi la acest studio aparte unde vei gasi oameni frumosi si calzi, gata sa te ghideze intr-o practica de yoga blanda sau sa iti ofere un masaj de neuitat :) Ofera-ti o experienta altfel si vino sa cunosti studioul. Poate te va fermeca inca de la intrare, asa cum m-a fermecat si pe mine :)
