graceful movement

I am a teacher and guide for self inquiry and the process of emotional maturing and embodied living. I’ve been teaching Yoga for a decade. I teach the pathways to embracing the fullness of life, expanding the capacity for joy, as a much as for grief.

through the body,

always through the body.

I teach non-competitive workouts that welcome all of you, in the form of Sweat Body, Barre, Pilates and Myofascial Stretching + ELDOA.

I’m a nervous system educator and teach about the powerful wisdom of the body, because learning how to feel sensations, develop body awareness and befriend everything that lies beyond the rational realm, is the key to living an expansive life.

The essence of what I teach is an ancient wisdom, laced into the philosophy of yoga, Buddhist teachings and feminine energetics, as well as modern psychology and neuroscience. I teach the stuff that I have been learning and integrating into my own life, it comes through me so that you can receive it as fully as possible. It is much more than just theory, everything I teach, I embody first. That is how I know how to support you when you hit the inevitable bumps, come against resistance or feel like you’ve lost your way, because I’ve been there myself.

Everything you will do with me is dedicated to the skills of befriending the body, understanding the mind and remembering the truth of who you are, by aligning the intelligence of all 3 of those elements. Essentially, I am here to guide you back to what you already know and the power that lives within you.

All of this so you can live your most fulfilling, loving life.

about grace

A little pinch of cynicism goes a long way. I am unwaveringly discerning and also deeply devoted to being open and receptive. I teach from this place. I’m a pleasure seeker and advocate that love will save us all, if we could only bloomin’ well learn how to do it right.

I’m a book worm, a music fanatic of all varieties, a huge fan of radio and audio broadcasts and a bedroom/kitchen/train station kind of dancer. I worked as a curator for 5 years at Apuro, the mind body workshop and debate hub for Waking Life, a music and arts festival in rural Portugal. My secret dream is to become a radio DJ, where I’d get to create infinite different sets of music, all aired between short musings and commentaries on the world, the human experience and ways to remind us to accept and find pleasure in ourselves and each other. Since I am not likely to become a DJ anytime soon, I take a similar approach to curating my classes.

My personal daily mantra is ‘I am compassionately assertive’, a regular reminder to myself that heart centred, clear yet flexible boundaries are non-negotiable. A commitment that is regularly challenged, which I take as confirmation of it’s value, importance and necessity.

I teach in Berlin, at Yellow Yoga and Authentic Body Control. I work 1-1 with a small group of clients and I am the founder of both Sweat Body and Graceful Movement, a vibrant community of people who want to learn how to live by their embodied wisdom. I host 2 annual 4-day Immersion Residencies in Poland and monthly Immersion Rituals in Kreuzberg.

I share this work because I want all of us to rediscover the wisdom and power of our bodies, develop a tender relationship to our thoughts and emotions and live in ways that nourish ourselves, each other and the planet.

It’s my pleasure to meet you here, in love and service,

Grace
