    “I started my yoga experience with Tanja over a year ago when I was 14 weeks pregnant. I enjoyed the prenatal classes very much, Tanja gave a lot of attention to each student. Due to Covid, we continued the practice online until the end of the pregnancy. Tanja helped me a lot with staying healthy, active, and relaxed during those 9 months. I am very grateful for that. 2 months after my daughter was born I took private postnatal yoga classes with Tanja. Through her professional support, I could release a lot of stress, back pain and could also reach a more relaxed state every week. I really enjoyed the classes with Tanja, she is a wonderful person and yoga teacher.”

    I've enjoyed so much starting yoga when I found out I was pregnant. I've enjoyed the most connecting with my baby from the early days and doing all those safe and feel-good positions for the body. I think it is really helpful how you describe the movements so clearly so that even eyes closed we can do it right.

    I really like that Tanja always cares about the students' needs, tailors the class to the current dynamics, takes an individual approach to all students, supports us in finding more alignment in our bodies, and also be at ease with their limitations. What I also like is that she gives us a gentle push to experiment with these limitations, trying to know our body and learning to be consciously present in the moment, to listen and understand our body, ourselves, and our needs better. She has a gentle, calm, very positive style as a teacher, always very supportive and caring. That together with the practice creates a peaceful, safe space, where I can focus on what I/my body/mind needs at that particular time.

  • Testimonials

    I began Tanja's private yoga sessions with the hope of finding ease, alleviating my back pain, and achieving better sleep. The private classes with her met my expectations 100%.

    Tanja's approach was beautiful, attentive, and professional. What stood out the most was her dedication to honor my needs throughout each session. She tailored the classes to my individual requirements and provided exercises that not only supported me physically but also encouraged me to acknowledge and address what I was feeling.

    As a result of the private classes I took with Tanja my back pain reduced, sleep improved, and I experienced a newfound sense of ease and fewer migraines. Tanja's expertise in anatomy became evident as week by week, my pain lessened, leading me to feel lighter and more at ease.

    Beyond the classes, I felt well-supported in my yoga journey outside our sessions, thanks to Tanja's guidance and personal touches. Her use of massage balls added a unique touch that enhanced the yoga experience.

    After every class, I felt great—physically and mentally. I loved every class and Tanja's teaching style resonated perfectly with me.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Tanja's private yoga classes to anyone seeking relief from back or hip pain while prioritizing their overall well-being. Tanja's dedication, expertise, and genuine care have made a big difference in my life. Thank you, Tanja, for your invaluable support.
