Sandra understands yoga as a way of living and a lifelong journey of self-discovery. Each practice offers a subtle shift—both within ourselves and in how we relate to the world. For Sandra, yoga is a state of deep connection and inner peace, a place where union and love become the foundation for personal and collective transformation. Sharing from the heart, she passes on the teachings she has absorbed over many years of dedicated practice and study. Her training spans a wide range of styles, with a strong focus on Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Jivamukti, and Yin Yoga. Frequent travels to Asia have enriched and deepened her own practice, bringing fresh insights and inspiration. Sandra’s classes are nourishing, strengthening, balancing, and calming—flowing mindfully and guided by the breath. She is an experienced yoga teacher (E-RYT 500, YACEP), and teaches in English, German, and Swiss German, offering both individual and group classes as well as thoughtfully curated retreats.

As an experienced Iyengar yoga teacher with a Master’s degree in Osteo-Thai, I have been teaching the art of alignment for more than 14 years. My new approach to osteopathy and Thai massage focuses strongly on the body, its forms and its functions. My teaching is unique in that it safely guides students into the poses with the aid of props, correct instruction and mindful action. I aim to support my students in their organic and expansive evolution, which aligns all layers of this body-mind complex with the benevolence of the mind and, ultimately, with self-awareness. I take people on a journey of healing and self-discovery, a journey of spiritual awakening and an active, joyful life.

Ranja has been teaching yoga for almost 20 years, specialising in Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra for the past few years. Together with Dr Patrick Broome, the yoga teacher for the national football team, she founded the Yogastudio City in Munich, where she teaches regular classes, as well as running teacher training courses, retreats and sessions at conferences and festivals throughout the German-speaking world. Ranja’s teaching is shaped by more than 25 years of regular training and further education in the fields of yoga and meditation, as well as by her in-depth study of traditional South American healing methods. She teaches with great warmth, empathy and humour, and in an exceptionally calm, gentle voice that makes it easy to relax. For her, yoga is above all a path to greater awareness – to the ability to perceive oneself and others beyond concepts and judgements. And to sense that everything is interconnected. This may not lead immediately to ‘enlightenment’, but it certainly leads to greater tolerance, compassion and love.

Bianca began her personal yoga practice in 2003. During a visit to India in 2012, where she practised yoga, meditation and yoga philosophy intensively every day, she fell in love with this ancient practice, finally felt understood and found her place. For her, yoga is not just a form of exercise or a series of postures. Yoga is a way of life, a philosophy of being. How one lives one’s life off the mat is just as important as what one does on the mat. Yoga is wellness, healing and therapy for body, mind and soul. Bianca draws inspiration from every teacher she practises with, and she learns from every class and every training course she attends. Personal development is an important part of her life, and she enjoys being a student on the mat just as much as she enjoys guiding others as a teacher.
