"MY WISH IS TO HELP YOU RECONNECT WITH YOUR BODY, REBUILD TRUST IN YOURSELF,

CREATE A SPACE WHERE YOU CAN SIMPLY BE AS YOU ARE.

WITHOUT JUDGMENT OR STIGMA."

Hi, I’m Elena and I’m so glad you’re here!
I believe we all need spaces where we can stop performing and simply be ourselves. Movement here is not about how it looks, but how it feels. You don’t need experience, flexibility or strength. You only need to come as you are. Imagine being welcomed by a good friend who gives you room to breathe and celebrates who you already are.

Somatic Movement – Bewegung und Körperwahrnehmung

SHAKE THE DUST®

Shake the Dust is a transformative, embodied experience for your body, heart and mind. Each session invites you to release what no longer serves you, personally and collectively, through a dynamic mix of shaking, jumping, dancing, intuitive movement and yes, some yoga, pilates and bodyweight strength work, reclaiming your body as a powerful tool for change.

This is much more than a workout. It is a practice for everyone, an invitation to take up space, break patterns and come alive. It is your space to come back home to your body.

Get ready for a playlist that works as a soundscape, carrying you through the session and triggering energy and emotion. You will flow through repetitive sequences inspired by yoga, pilates and bodyweight work, moving between shaking, tension and explosive bursts, then release and softness. This is a space for pure expression, where you can feel and be exactly as you are in the present moment, while grounding into the values and vision for a better world.

AUTHENTIC FLOW® / SOMATIC YOGA

Somatic Yoga is about being real. Sometimes that means softness, sometimes it means trembling, shaking, roaring or meeting the edge of your own resistance. It invites you to dive deeper into your practice, to enter an open and fluid dialogue and to tap into the innate intelligence of your body, your soma. Your breath becomes the guide, while music or silence serves as a bridge between body and being.

This practice means embodying what is actually there, not what looks gentle from the outside, it's about presence, not performance. Your movements reflect your inner landscape and gradually become more free, with no strict rules, no right or wrong. It can be soft or strong, depending on what you make of it.

Through this mindful exploration, you begin to rebuild trust in your body's intelligence, cultivating awareness and a deep sense of connection.

Come with an open mind and experience what it means to be and to feel.

EMBODIED YIN™

Somatic Yin is an invitation into the deep, intimate landscapes of your body, rooted in Authentic Flow principles and woven from long held Yin shapes and organic, instinctual micro movements that arise from inner sensing, not from effort or aesthetics. Your breath becomes the guide, letting you slow down enough to listen.

We take the time to feel the subtle tides beneath the surface, to allow the body to show us where it wants to soften, unwind and become more truly itself. Through presence, permission and curiosity, Somatic Yin becomes a space where tension dissolves, patterns melt and the nervous system remembers how to rest. It is a practice of unraveling and a practice of returning, gentle in form but often deeply felt.

Come with an open mind and experience what it means to be and to feel.

VINYASA YOGA

Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic practice where you flow with the rhythm of your breath. Every inhale and exhale is linked to a movement, creating a seamless sequence that feels like a moving meditation. The practice builds strength, flexibility and heat, while its playful, creative sequences also calm the mind through focus.

Between sequences, practitioners often return to a short flowing transition called a Vinyasa: moving from downward facing dog into plank, chaturanga, upward facing dog and back to downward facing dog. It acts like a reset for body and breath, giving continuity to the practice. This repetition offers a moment to reconnect with the breath before moving into the next sequence.

For me this is much more than a physical practice, it's a way to come back to yourself through movement and breath. In my Vinyasa classes you will always find a warm up and a cool down, different breathing exercises and a well deserved Savasana.

ACRO YOGA

Acro Yoga weaves together the essence of yoga, the playfulness of acrobatics and the healing touch of Thai massage. It invites you to connect, trust and play, and a lot of fun is guaranteed.

As a flyer you experience the magic of being lifted and surrendering into the art of letting go. As a base you root into the ground, carrying and offering support, while working on your strength. Together with the spotter, who creates safety and guidance, this teamwork becomes a conscious, respectful dialogue where a moving symphony begins to emerge.

Once you gain confidence, you can explore more freely, playing with inversions, rotations and twists.

Next to Solar Acro Yoga there is also Lunar Acro Yoga, with partner stretches and deep relaxation. For me, this practice is so joyful and absorbing that hours pass without noticing, strengthening and energizing the body while filling the heart with laughter and connection.

"For me, Elena’s ‘Shake the Dust’ has become an integral part of my life and daily routine! It’s simply the perfect way to switch off your mind and get in touch with your feelings. Elena offers plenty of alternatives and different levels of intensity, and has a brilliant sense of what the participants need. With her calm yet energetic and positive manner, she creates an environment where you can really let yourself go."
