After 12 successful years in marketing -- and having been part of virtually all major marketing campaigns in the small and beautiful country of Kosovo -- Uta gained a clear understanding of what she really wanted to do. She realized that her passion was outdoors: hiking, climbing, running, and cycling. All with a touch of style, graciousness, and beauty. Four years into splitting her time between marketing and outdoor adventure -- and having climbed everything in the vicinity and up to the highest peak of Europe, Uta decided to merge it all into one company: Butterfly Outdoor Adventures.
Uta is also the first Albanian woman to climb Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. After Mount Everest (May 22, 2017), she has climbed Manasulu (8,163m), Cho-Oyu (8201m), Lhotse (8516m), and Gasherburum (8080m), thus making her officially the first woman from the Balkans to summit 5X8000 meters peaks. She is also a Sustainable Development Goals Champion, promoting gender equality, youth empowerment and environmental preservation.

She hopes to share her love of nature and to offer safe and impactful outdoor experiences to her clients.

I discovered Yoga years ago, through my best friend and my business partner who thought I needed some relaxation, calming, centering time and self care, right when we were founding our first enterprise company since I was burnt out from my regular job.

I discovered Yoga years ago, through my best friend and my business partner who thought I needed some relaxation, calming, centering time and self care, right when we were founding our first enterprise company since I was burnt out from my regular job.

It was an encounter that completely changed my life, my way of thinking, and my approach towards things.

Since then, yoga has affected me in ways I could have never imagined, introducing me to new physical, mental and spiritual challenges.

I say Yoga shapes you just like a rough diamond who is soon to take the brightest and shiniest form that will allure everybody around. I continue to grow every day and I am sure mayor positive changes will come to everybody who tries and continues with it.

Being curios to learn more about things I love, I had to go to a Yoga school and become a very positive and caring Yoga teacher who enjoys sharing knowledge in yoga classes of different styles like Hatha -Vinyassa , Yin, Ashtanga and Pranayama.
