In                &

Born in Hawaii, I am a Swedish-American yogi with a big heart and free spirit. Yoga asana and meditation have been an essential part of my life for 10 years. I have two 200-hr teacher training and one 300-hr YTT under my belt. My passion for powerful, dynamic, and focused yet smooth movement has existed since a young age (ie; dance, gymnastics, and synchronized swimming) but I felt these were lacking something deeper. I studied art for 8 years, where my interest in body movement manifested into artwork with expressive nudes as the focus. When I discovered yoga asana and philosophy, I realized what I had previously been missing and seeking. I love the physicality of yoga because it allows me to explore and expand my strength and flexibility, but even more so I love that the practice is a platform to train my mind; to challenge and question my core beliefs and connect with and ground myself.

 

"I love to teach because I can connect with people and help them to realize and sharpen the tools that they already possess within themselves to realize their full potential. We are all deep beings with many layers of thoughts/feelings; pain, joy, fear, love, etc; and often we get so caught up in the details that we forget to step back and see the vastness; the bigger picture of life: that we are all connected and that there is so much more to life than our fleeting emotions or ever-evolving physical body."

My yoga journey began in 2014 when I started my first year of graduate school in Long Beach, California. What began as a casual workout routine turned into the most essential outlet for me to relieve myself from the emotional struggles that came along with navigating life in academia. While my life continued to be abundant with change and transitions, my practice has always been the one thing that remained. My mat is the place where I feel safe, empowered, strong, and dare I even say graceful! My practice deepened in 2018 and became an irreplaceable aspect of my life--this is when I knew in my heart that I wanted to share how yoga changed my life with others. I traveled to India in June of 2019 where I completed my 200-hour program in Rishikesh, India, and have been teaching ever since. Life brought me to Berlin in early 2020, and I have been both practicing and teaching yoga at multiple studios across the city in search of community.

I discovered yoga almost 17 years ago in my hometown of Palermo, Italy. What began as a personal practice gradually became a deeper path of exploration, eventually leading me to teaching yoga full time in 2020.
My teaching is grounded in mindfulness, trauma-informed practice, and intelligent, evidence-based movement. I believe yoga can be a space to slow down, listen to the body, and reconnect with ourselves with curiosity and kindness.
Becoming a mother profoundly shaped my path and deepened my connection to the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Today, I mainly teach prenatal and postnatal yoga, creating warm, inclusive, and nurturing spaces where people can feel supported, build strength and resilience, and feel at home in their changing bodies.

Eva is a trained dancer, dance therapist, alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, and Kundalini teacher. Having spent most of her life in motion, driven by the desire to let the body speak, she found in yoga a peaceful harbor—where mind and body unite—and discovered the profound importance of both aspects.

In her surroundings, she often observes people who are highly intellectual and guided primarily by their minds, perceiving themselves mainly on a mental level. That is why it is her intention to help her students develop a greater awareness of their bodies and, through this, foster a deeper connection between mind and body.

Eva has been living and loving yoga for more than 10 years. What fascinates her most about Kundalini Yoga in particular is its rapid energetic effect. True to the mantra ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO, Eva aims to use her classes to help participants reconnect with their own inner healer.
