Yoga teacher for high achievers

You're driven, capable and really good at pushing through. But somewhere along the way, your body started paying the price (tension, brain fog, mood swings). And I know exactly what that feels like.

Hi there, I'm Marina!

I went from an overwhelmed and exhausted working mum to a woman who feels powerful, focused and steady.

I help high achievers feel strong, flexible, calm and energized again, through yoga and a toolkit of techniques most people have never tried but wish they’d found sooner. And I’ve made it my mission to help you get there too.

If you are curious how I got there...

I used to be a perfectionist, trying to be great at everything (corporate career, motherhood, relationship and a second Master’s degree) all at the same time. I didn’t sleep enough, I didn’t stop, and I definitely didn’t think about my body. Until my body started thinking for me: lower back pain, heart racing, unable to relax or switch off.

I tried jogging, the gym, CrossFit, but nothing could quiet my thoughts. I was still in my head, just in a different location. Then I accidentally walked into a seriously challenging Ashtanga class. And for the first time in years, I couldn’t think about anything other than yoga. I was too busy trying not to fall over, which is a form of meditation in itself, just try it 😉

With time, I started practicing regularly, then daily, then trained as a teacher, and over time I added brain-based tools, somatic work and EFT tapping, because I realized yoga was just the beginning. The real shift was learning to work with my whole system: body, mind and the brain running the show.

These days, you’ll find me teaching in person in Buchholz in der Nordheide and online, in English, Russian or German, whichever the room needs.

Now? I’m nicer after yoga. That’s it. That’s the whole transformation. (It’s also on my T-shirt 😅). And I want that for you too.
