YIN/YANG YOGA, COACHING & COMMUNITY IN BERLIN WEISSENSEE

Born Yin was created out of my profound commitment to guiding individuals towards holistic wellness, whether through Yin Yoga practices, mindful Vinyasa flows, women's workshops, integrative nutrition wellness coaching, Freedom Fridays (where we open the space for dance and play for all ages), meditative sound baths, deep breathwork sessions, one-on-one consulting, business yoga classes, corporate wellness workshops, community connection events or any out-of-the-box means necessary.

In this corner of Berlin, our neighborhood of Weissensee is filled with locals and newcomers, families and singles, young professionals and a growing international community. Having spent my life in Asia, Europe and North America, raising four children in three countries, and being a devoted practitioner of yoga and mindfulness from a young age, I have a strong passion to reach out locally to offer a space for our global community to find grounding practices and like-minded people in our Berlin neighborhood.

Born Yin Yoga and Wellness is a studio where you are not anonymous. As the studio owner and main teacher and coach, I learn not only your name but take time to meet you as you are. Each time you come to a class or an experience, you may not easily leave thoughts and feelings of your life outside the studio door. (Our monkey minds are filled with plans and remembrances, work and relationships, and so much more.) Yet, in the practices here, you are invited to delve into the nowness of what you experience. - taking time to be present for your class or session, breathing and accepting how you are showing up in your life at that moment.

No one needs to be in shape, stress-free or enlightened to participate in yoga, coaching, or a community event. The best gift you can give yourself is to fully show up as you are, and to allow yourself the experience as it is.

Born Yin Yoga Berlin: A place to come home to oneself

Here in Berlin Weissensee I've created more than just a yoga studio—it's a sanctuary where connections flourish, communities thrive, and healing begins.

I empower you to prioritize self-care, fostering a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you. May you feel welcome to join me on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
