Svenja is a yoga, movement and arm balance teacher (specialized to handstands and other advanced arm balances) with more than 3500 hours of teaching experience. She runs her own Yoga studio in Cologne, Germany, and teaches international Retreats and workshops.

Before opening her studio, she worked as an intensive care nurse for seven years, which gave her a deep understanding of the human body and the importance of physical and mental health even before her time as a yoga teacher.

Her practice is a wonderful blend of dynamic movements - done with awareness, a purpose and always with a balance of strength, flexibility and mobility -, intense poses, playful transitions and inversions and calming moments that create a deeper awareness of body and mind and a deeper connection.

She deeply believes that movement can open doors to much more and takes it as an honor to accompany her students on their journey.

,The practice is a process - engaging with yourself, taking on challenges, trying and trying hard and mastering them, but also failing, dealing with frustration and growing from it. It's all part of the journey.‘
