About me

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 cooking and holistic approaches to health, yet my own lifestyle was far from balanced. I often ignored my body’s signals, feeling unwell and constipated, 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 about Ayurveda and continuing my studies in India, attending workshops, seminars, and trainings that deepened my understanding.

For me, Yoga & Ayurveda belong together, and sharing both with others has become my mission.

After 2021, I traveled to India or other places, dedicating time to my practice and further studies in Yoga, Bhakti, Sound Healing, Mantras, and finding like-minded people.

Each journey brought new layers of understanding: about the body, mind, energy, and the essence what Yoga truly is. These experiences shaped me not just as a teacher but as a person, and continue to inform every class, workshop, and retreat I lead.

I taught yoga in Berlin for many years across different studios, and in 2023, I decided to take a new step by building a base in Portugal. Since then, Portugal has become my second home, where I feel deeply grounded and inspired.

It remains one of the most powerful decisions I’ve ever made. Today, I feel empowered to share my work by organize retreats and events in Portugal, but also in Germany. I create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, explore Yoga and Ayurveda, and experience the transformative ripple effects of these practices.

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. My goal is to guide and inspire others along that path, helping them reconnect to themselves and the world around them with curiosity, joy, and balance.
