As a yoga teacher, Annika offers an embodied experience that respects each individual’s personal process. Her teaching is deeply inspired by somatic practices (Body-Mind Centering® and Hanna Somatics in particular) that foster self-inquiry as a way of gaining a deeper understanding of our present experience. We are so often observing our lives from outside of ourselves, whether it’s off the mat or on the mat. When we practice yoga, we have a chance to get to know ourselves from the inside out, to feel our bodies in relation to space or the earth, and most importantly to feel our bodies alive. In her classes, Annika aims to guide her students into knowing what the body knows, so that they can explore their inner landscapes with curiosity, clarity and creativity.
Annika completed her 200-hr training at Sola School of Contemplative Arts, Oregon, and an additional 500-hr training at Living Yoga, Ireland. She was certified as a Restorative Yoga teacher by Lizzie Lasater. She has trained in Body-Mind Centering® with Nina Wehnert and in Hanna Somatics with Lisa Petersen. Annika is also an astrologer and literary translator.

This class combines the form and fluidity of Hatha/Vinyasa yoga with the subtle and slow qualities of somatic movement. It is designed to help you move and feel from the inside out while you cultivate strength, stability and flexibility. Through mindful sequences and an exploratory approach to asana you will find greater freedom in the body, heart, and mind.
relax & restore (somatic) – en
A simple yet nourishing practice to unwind after a long day. We cultivate subtle awareness through gentle somatic movements that encourage ease and calm and connect with silence through a brief Restorative practice. Supportive outcomes of this practice include releasing physical and mental tension, finding greater freedom in the body and settling the nervous system.
