rest is my passion
Emotions as overwhelm, tiredness, anxiety are Energy in MOTION. We can learn to work with these energies that pass through our body, to clear, balance, soften and rejuvenate. I share science-based methods to increase mindfulness, body-mind connection, manage stress and find clarity within chaos. I am here to remind you that rest is a priority and much more than the time when your head hits the pillow. I believe life is what happens when we are busy making plans. Rest & recovery happens in the state of being, within the pause in between all doing.

My story & mission
I am a holistic yoga teacher with community focus. On the yoga mat and in my teachings, my motivation flows from the power of connection and compassion. I am deeply inspired how yoga has the power to unite us & cultivate the sense of belonging.
I have been practicing and studying various branches of yoga over a decade around Europe. Today I am a certified in more invigorating styles as Modified Ashtanga Vinyasa, The Rocket Vinyasa and meditative Yin Yoga and Restorative yoga.
As a community educator and coach my mission is to generate positive ripple effects, generate healing so that we have all have safe and supportive spaces to grow but also be as we are. One affects the other so by healing, one generates healing within the spaces they go, people they are with & hence within their community. I emphasize the value and power each individual has in creating the culture around them, resolving conflicts and cultivating atmosphere where one can feel calm & connected.
My mission is to cultivate self-awareness, joy, connection & clarity over excessive thinking & doing. I work to shift the culture of rest away from guilt trips or glorifying burnout towards authentically prioritizing rest pauses in daily life as vital part of balanced life.
Rest is a state of mind where nothing is missing and all that is,
is felt and celebrated with equally.
If you hear the calling, I would love to hear from you.
the roots
I am grateful for all the teachers before me for passing down the wisdom, science, intelligent methods & sequences that I practice & share today. I thank the teachers that live among me, my community, family, husband and friends. I am honoured to witness and facilitate unity & transformation on and off the mat. I bow to you.
