Anke Egger

Yoga offers a framework for feeling, trying out, playing and exploring: "How does "this" feel right now? What do I need today? What is too much?" We combine breath and movement to bring awareness into the body and strengthen the connection to ourselves. In the process, we repeatedly take pauses for feeling. Dynamic, playful and "without eso". For everyone who enjoys movement.

Caro is enthusiastic about the infinite variety of moving and loves to discover her body again and again. On the yoga mat and in nature. Caro has never followed a "guru", but her inutition and curiosity and likes to go her own way.

In her Movement based Yoga sessions she combines elements of different movement arts to a dynamic sequence that will awaken your curiosity and joy of movement. The latest findings in anatomy and movement science are incorporated into her practice and teaching.

Fia Sonora

Mixed Movement Yoga, Pranayama, moon and incense rituals, Sanskrit

Fia studied Indology and Buddhist Studies at university and has completed several yoga teacher training programmes over the last 10 years.
Her teaching style is inspired by different movement cultures and covers a wide spectrum of Iyengar, Vinyasa, Budokon, Yin and Restorative.
Besides her love for South Asia and yoga, Fia also harbours a deep love for Brazil and Capoeira.
Capoeira is an expression of freedom and with this in mind, each and every capoeirista is given a name that expresses their own personal character - Fia Sonora means ‘daughter of the desert’.
Yoga and martial arts are both ways of expressing inner and outer worlds through movement. One is more inward, the other more outward.
Both are important because, as you know, the inside is reflected in the outside.

This is why she combines the experience and knowledge from both systems in her mixed movement yoga sessions to create a holistic yoga style, which she passes on to anyone interested with joy and passion.

‘My teaching is a fusion of tradition and modernity, of philosophy and science, of the spaces within us and the spaces around us.
My yoga & movement sessions are liberating, releasing and sometimes challenging. Without overtaxing your own abilities, but rather expanding and developing your possibilities. Flowing, playful, powerful, feminine and gentle at the same time. Always with the aim of helping YOU to rise above YOUR own limitations.

Your personal wellbeing creates gentle waves, inspiring those around you to deep unity and peace, our natural existence. Flora helps you to remember this. Supporting and holding people in their personal development and creating a benevolent environment for this fulfills me deeply. The practice and teachings of yoga are her motivation to constantly grow and question. In carefully chosen words, she guides you into your power, inspired by connection and transformation. In her role as a yoga teacher, she tells stories to guide you into connection with all that is.

Hatha, Vinyasa, Inside Flow, Mindfulness.

Tatiana is convinced that we are ALL already yogis. For that, it is not necessary to be flexible or stand on your head. It is much more about going back to the heart. And a heart we all have.

The fascination of movement in combination with our breathing and the resulting stillness led Verena to yoga and meditation at an early age.

The resulting experiences and joy have led Verena to dive deeper into the fascinating world of yoga.
