My Story.
I have been passionate about yoga for the last 15 years. In fact, becoming a yoga teacher wasn't my intention at all in the beginning. But yoga found me when I was experiencing burnout, which left me with tinnitus. Yoga came into my life at a time when I needed to change the most. Being a yoga teacher is my way of giving that transformative experience back to my students.
Following my very challenging period in marketing in Berlin, I recognized the urgent need for a change in my life. I completed my yoga teacher training in India and underwent a drastic shift in both job and lifestyle - with that I owe my health, sanity and joy of life to yoga. What happened after these changes are just beautiful and brought me even more into my purpose why I am here - and why you are crucial, too.
My mission is now to make yoga accessible to those around me. I offer humorous and aligning classes that invite you to discover the sweet spot of your soul.
student & teacher, equally.
Since 15 years, I have been a devoted student of yoga, and for the last 4 years, I have had the pleasure and blessings of teaching yoga as well.
My education is deeply rooted in tradition, as I learned yoga at Yoga Vidya Gorukul in India, near Mumbai. Here, I received my first certification as a Hatha yoga teacher, followed by another additional certification as a pre- and postnatal yoga teacher.
Furthermore, I have attended several workshops on deepening meditation practice at Kaivalyadhama in Lonavla, India, and I am a certified student of phytotherapy in Berlin.
My approach to yoga emphasizes relaxation through a practice that integrates movement, vocal expression, and breathwork.
