About me

My story

What started as a curiosity has shaped into a totally different path

Yoga has completely changed my life. What started as a small curiosity soon became a passion that reshaped how I live, work, and connect with the world.

Back in 2019, during the uncertainty of the pandemic, I reached a breaking point. A demanding corporate job and constant stress led to a mental breakdown, and I realized I couldn’t keep living the way I had been. I truly asked myself: Is this really MY life I am living? +

I needed a change, a real one. It was scary, but I quit my job and traveled to Costa Rica for my first 200-hour yoga teacher training (the only country that was open for travel during Corona). That moment lit a fire in me I could no longer ignore.

Around the same time, Ayurveda entered my life. I had always been passionate about holistic health, yet my own lifestyle was far from balanced. I often ignored my body’s signals, feeling unwell and thinking it was “normal.”

Ayurveda wasn’t a trend for me; it was the only approach that truly worked. I dove deep, completing my first certification and continuing my studies in India, attending workshops and trainings that deepened my understanding. For me, Yoga & Ayurveda belong together, and sharing both with others has become my mission.

Since 2021, sharing these practices has become my mission.

Over the last 6 years, I’ve dedicated myself to further studies in Bhakti, Sound Healing, and Mantras, traveling back to India to find like-minded people and to study what Yoga & Ayurveda truly are.

These experiences shaped me not just as a teacher but as a person. After teaching for many years in well-known yoga studios in Berlin, I finally fulfilled a long-held dream in 2023: building a permanent base in Portugal. Since then, Portugal has become my second home, especially the coastal energy of Ericeira, where I feel deeply grounded.

Today, I love sharing my knowledge by organizing Yoga retreats in Ericeira, Portugal, with a special focus on the transformative power of Yoga & Ayurveda. My vision is to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and experience the same ripple effects that changed my path.

Through all the twists, challenges, and discoveries, I’ve learned that life is about listening to yourself, embracing change, and finding joy in unexpected places.

Yoga isn’t just a practice for me; it’s a path to deeper self-understanding, freedom, and lasting transformation.

I would be so honored to guide and inspire you along that path and meet you in one of my classes or Yoga retreats in Portugal.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, I adapt every session to your unique needs, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow in a safe, nurturing space.

Holistic approach

Yoga and Ayurveda go hand in hand. I help you bring practice off the mat to create a lasting ripple effect in your life. Through energetic healing, movement, and nutrition, we focus on more than momentary change. My Yoga retreats in Portugal integrate lifestyle practices and emotional fulfillment to bring you into a state of lasting balance, transformation, and integration.

Nervous system release

Whether in my yoga retreats in Portugal or my classes, I focus on bringing your nervous system back to balance. By masterfully combining Yoga postures, breathwork, sound healing, and mantras, I know exactly how to dissolve tension and guide your body into profound relaxation, activating your own natural healing powers and rejuvenation.

I preach what I teach

I believe in authentic teaching rooted in real-life experience. Having walked the path for years as both a dedicated student and a teacher, I preach what I teach. This ensures that every session and Yoga retreat I lead is grounded in integrity, deep wisdom, and a genuine passion for sharing the tools that lead to a joyful, balanced life.
