My journey into yoga began in 2014 when I stumbled into an Ashtanga class during one of my travels through India. Since that day, I practice six days a week.
I returned in 2016, having saved up for my first teacher training. After another season spent in India with my first teacher, I simply never took that plane back to Berlin. Instead, I stayed on the road, mostly in India for about five years, to deepen my yoga practice. I completed several yoga teacher trainings in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, creative sequencing, adjustments and more. While I gained much from the yoga classes I attended every morning, my immersion into life in India taught me just as much about yoga, such as kindness, devotion, consciousness and service.
Since then, I have had the privilege of teaching yoga, holding retreats, and providing teacher trainings and workshops worldwide. By now, I am also a certified teacher trainer for Yoga Alliance.
It has been over ten years now that I have embraced a nomadic lifestyle, a choice that mirrors the flexibility and liberation I seek in my yoga practice. I believe in immersing myself fully in the world and remaining open to transformation.
Beyond my yoga journey, my background in dance and my let's say unusual choices of living have all deeply shaped my approach to teaching.
Before my yoga career, I spent many years touring the world as a dancer, gaining extensive experience working with bodies and movement. Finding ease in body control, alignment, flow states, authenticity, and connectedness - and sharing these with others - has always been at the core of my professional life and my personal passion.
At the age of 16, I started teaching jazz dance, aerobics, and hip hop, later followed by teaching Tango Argentino in Berlin's most renowned studios. I had the privilege of teaching in countless festivals, workshops, and prestigious institutions like Yale, Stanford, and Princeton.
In 2006, I graduated from a one-year dance pedagogue program.
I also hold two Master's degrees in Gender Studies and Educational Science and am a trained facilitator for spiritual practice groups.
As a teacher at heart, I draw from my rich and varied background to create a soft and safe space for self-exploration, supporting my students' journeys.
I teach with humility and respect in service of the tradition. In my classes, I aim to create the same space of heart for my students, that my journey to India has opened up for me.
I am dedicated to create spaces to reconnect to your inner truth, light and freedom.

My teaching styles
Yin
Practicing yin means checking out of your yang-achiever mode for a while and reconnecting to your inner truth, light and freedom.
On a physical layer yin is a slow-paced practice, sinking into long, deep stretches to increase your flexibility and to strengthen your connective tissues, literally activating rejuvenation and restoration of your body, while enjoying deep nourishing relaxation. Yin has lots and lots of health benefits.
Yin combined with deep inner work is what I focus on. You get to connect tenderly with yourself. It is a meeting with your authentic you. In slowness you get to attend to that part of your being that tends to be unmet. Yin is exploring your inner landscape: getting to know interior locations to rest and recharge, to anchor and stabilize, see through the tricks of the mind, find clarity, connectedness, belonging, love. You get to dive into the relation of body and soul where your internal world can be entered through the body, and the inside gets revealed on the outside.
You practice to hold space for your very self, space of awareness, which is free of judgement and rush, free for you to arise, just as you are. Feeling and inspecting layer after layer you arrive at your truth. Truth, a space free from all pretensions and illusions. A space that works independent of the outside world. You start to feel the purity of yourself, you know who you are, what you need and what you are capable of. You form a firm base that allows you to approach life courageously and live the life you want!
Vinyasa Flow
Movement induces movement.
Vinyasa flow yoga is a dynamic yoga practice, flowing from pose to pose while synchronizing movements with breath. It emphasizes on the flow from one asana to the next, rather than approaching each asana separately. The creative transitions give a dancy feel to it.
A practice to vitalize and uplift your energy, focused on building fiery heat, strength, endurance and flexibility through intelligent sequencing. In vinyasa we playfully sense into every corner of our body, and over time building the strength and space to feel delicious freedom inside our bodies and minds.
Through asanas we mobilize and liberate stuck energy, we bring back flow to body and mind, and we refine our sensitivity to the subtle body. A very grounding process.
In my classes I very much focus on proper alignment and technique, using lots of individual adjustments for corrections, because only once the basics are in line the flow will bring the magic. I‘ll make sure every practitioner is seen and supported.
