welcome, thank you for finding your way to rinYoga

4-part annual workshop, can also be booked individually.

Do you want to let your dreams grow?

Fall is the ideal time to harvest our visions.

We use various yoga methods and creative writing to do so, because putting words on paper and anchoring them in the body means creating a world where anything is possible.

The aim is to be curious and playful with language and your own body. We will take on new perspectives and tap into our desires.

An open and receptive body supports us in this process. To achieve this we will practice a grounding and harmonizing yoga in between the writing sequences.

Your energies begin to flow and existing blockages in body and mind are released. Insights, reflections and ideas pour out onto the paper by themselves.

Embodied yoga, meditation and creative writing complement each other perfectly to achieve a state of flow.

„the mind is like the wind and the body is like the sand: if you want to know how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand.“
bonnie bainbridge cohen

yoga is an invitation to come back to your authentic self, again and again. 

each session is a chance to navigate the path to your inner being and to allow your mind, body and consciousness to reconnect with awareness of self on a cellular level, with your breath, movement, and present thought. we flow into asanas, move, sing mantra’s, play, dance into free flow and meditate all the while learning and releasing in a safe container. 

the relationship with you is the one you will be spending the most time with throughout your life. you can train your thoughts to consciously celebrate your unique self, the sweetheart, one of a kind person you are, enhance your inner dialogue with you and the connection to you with these unique classes. hold space for you in all phases of your life, the sunny and the shadow sides, meet yourself again and again, the layers and flavors of you blossom. come dive deeper into your essence and shake the dust with me in a yoga class.  

these yoga classes are curated to release tension, to strengthen your focus and state of thought in connection to your body-mind. we will let your curious self be playful and true to its nature, sequence with elements of embodied flow, vinyasa/hata and kundalini yoga, slow or fast, kindly, gently and authentically you unfold you. 

„daughter. spend your life loving. not seeking love. ocean need not seek water.“

My childhood was spent between America’s East Coast, Switzerland, and Portugal.  

When I was 18 I moved to Basel permanently to study art and it was here I attended my first professional kundalini yoga class. 

While practicing on and off for over ten years with my first teacher I started substituting for her, leading her classes when needed. 

At that time I also began offering private yoga sessions to my closest friends, family, and artist groups.

My love of yoga began back in my late teens and has never left me, giving me strength, serenity, clarity, and lightness throughout my life.

I am a mother of a bright, handsome son. When I’m not on the yoga mat I head the reception and bookshop of Kunsthalle Basel and give tours to current exhibitions in German and English. 

Parallel to yoga and meditation, my love of the outdoors, walking in nature, baking and cooking, dogs, drawing, reading, dancing, and journaling are all pillars of my everyday life. 

I am forever grateful to my mother and father who taught me at a young age to follow my intuition and to hold yoga poses that grew out of play. I did my 200 hour Embodied Flow Yoga Teachers Training, in Noa Yoga Basel with Salome Noa and Andy Bartneck, 500 hours advanced Embodied Flow Yoga Teachers Training in Ubud Bali with Tara Judelle, including 100 hours Trauma Informed Yoga with Mei Lai Swan, and 50 hours Somatic Yin Teachers Training with Carlos Romero. I have over 20 years of Kundalini Yoga teaching experience, and finished an eight week MBSR, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course in the Zentrum für Achtsamkeit with Rudi Burger. I work as a simultaneous interpreter german/english, english/german and embodied yoga facilitator with Regula Saner in different MBC (Mindful Based Compassion) retreats and workshops. I am in training for my yoga-fasting-hiking certificate with Franz Moesl in Germany.

I see Yoga as a way of life, both on and off the mat. My desire is to continue to learn and grow with you.
