Leonie
Co-Founder & Yoga Teacher
"When I was 19, I traveled through India for the first time to dive into the incredible culture and deepen my yoga practice in Rishikesh. Since then, I've practiced with various teachers all over the world. When I came back to India in 2017, I decided to complete my 200h teacher training at Trimurti Yoga in Goa. It was a wonderful and very intense experience which changed my life ever since. The training connected Marlene and me and therefore lay the foundation for our project 'Yoga on the move'.
I truly believe that yoga makes the world a better place and I love to to hold a sacred space for my students to reconnect to their body and mind. My dynamic yoga flows are designed to treat the body in a compassionate way. Even though I feel the urge to be on the move and create new projects, I have realized that grounding and true connection are just as important in life. Both aspects are shared through my classes and events.
In my own life, it was manifested in my life through the opening of our Yoga Shala in Schöneberg and through becoming a mom of two little girls."
