A B O U T
The basics
I grew up with three sisters in Winterthur and moved to Bern eight years ago. I studied communication and European Studies at the University of Fribourg, in Montreal and Brussels (I love this city!). Now I work as a journalist in Bern and when I am not on my yoga mat, I am mostly writing or doing some research for a new story.
Unnecessary knowledge
I love long animals (such as sausage dogs or Indian ducks). I have a very bad memory for names (sorry!) but a very good one for moments. I once worked for the local radio station. Never understood why. My radio-voice is terrible. Luckily, I have been told I have a nice yoga voice, though. I like to be upside-down, which makes me a big fan of Acro Yoga.
My Yoga journey
Physical movement has always played a big role in my life: I did figure skating and gymnastics for a very long time, and I took dance classes because I love moving my body to music. My relationship with yoga became more intense when I first went to a yoga studio. I felt like I was in a cocoon. From then on, I knew that I could walk through that door and everything outside would become unimportant for a while. There was only me and my mat. It was and is my safe space. In the beginning, the physical aspects of Yoga dominated my practice. But soon I realized what Yoga can do to my mind and to my breath. Yoga for me is a door to transformation. Taking the time to follow my breath has helped me a lot. Not only on my mat, but also in my daily life. I love adding a little playfulness to my practice, trying new Asanas and new transitions. I am not looking for the perfect pose, rather for a practice that makes me feel at home.
Me as a teacher
I celebrate the individuality of each of you, so making a class accessible for everyone is one of my keys. My classes are playful, creative and flowing, and a platform to discover your own body and mind. You will be given the time to explore and to try new things out. I love movements with no beginning and no end. One of the most beautiful compliments I have ever received was from my mother: She told me once that I was making her life a little easier. That is exactly what I hope to offer you in my classes: moments of lightness, confidence, playfulness and the ability to fully enjoy the here and now. I teach mainly in English, but I can also teach in German or French. I have been a certified Yoga Teacher since May 2022.
