Flow with Sonja

The Epstein files, Gisèle Pelicot, Collien Fernández… way too many times I have been wondering if this is all just a nightmare & hoping to wake up from it.

For a long time, I have been asking myself what I can do against this violence and this injustice. My personal breaking point came a few days ago when one of our teachers told me that she felt extremely uncomfortable & scared during one of her classes. There was only one student present—a man. He made inappropriate comments during the class.

That student is a member of an aggregator. We immediately informed that partner. They reacted quickly and told me they would block him from our studio. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Things like this happen regularly—not only in life in general, but also in the yoga scene, which should be a safe space where facilitators and students come together to create and seek peace and relaxation.

During that same week, I attended one of classes. She spoke about the case of and asked all the women in the class to raise their hands if they had ever experienced sexual harassment. I believe every woman raised her hand—and the class was full. Dana encouraged all students—regardless of gender—to speak up and stop being ignorant about sexual harassment, no matter what form it takes.

I am sharing personal experiences from my own yoga journey in the slides. These are only the experiences that occurred within the yoga space. There have been many more outside of the „yoga bubble“ throughout my life that I am not mentioning here.

These things happen every day, and they happen to all of us. I know that sexual harassment occurs in many forms in studios in Berlin and in yoga schools around the world. As long as we ignore it, as long as we stay silent, nothing will change.

We invite students, teachers, aggregators, facilitators, and studio owners to join an open conversation on Tuesday, 14.04 at 14:00 at .co Fhain to talk about these questions:

As a male teacher, how can you create a space where female students feel comfortable? How can we make our studios safer? What can our aggregators & partners do to support safety in studios?

January in Berlin ❄️🤍

very snowy, icy, slippery, cold, but lots of sunshine and blue skies!! Definitely one of the best Januarys I saw in Berlin!!
Full Yoga classes (new year resolutions are still a thing!!), full moon ceremonies, kirtans, Rauhnächte Ritual (and I almost burned my house down multiple times 🙈), afternoons in Berghain supporting (this day was the absolute highlight and best start to 2026), lots of hibernating at home writing the manual for our first yoga teacher training, lots of walks in the snow, endless hours spent in the yoga studio and having to fight our mat racks 😶‍🌫️
One thing I enjoy so much are some unexpected encounters on the dancefloor with my students! Happens everytime now and we always end up spending a few hours together!! I really love Berlin for this!

Special gratitude to who got a group together to support homeless people in the cold with donated clothes, warm food and tea and some hugs!! 🫂 that was special!!
And lots of contemplation about how can I be more selfless and do more things to make this world a little brighter in these times and how I can help humans in need.

January finally brought some light after a very dark 2025 for me personally! 🕯️ conclusion: Berlin winter is actually not so bad 🙈

🚫 DON’TS as a Yoga Teacher (yes, all true stories)

After 7 years + 300 teachers + countless “did this really just happen?” moments…

I present to you:
The Definitive Guide to What Not To Do in a Yoga Studio as a Freelance Teacher

Save it. Share it. Tag “that one fellow teacher.” Also tag them as a warning for all yoga studio owners 😉

Being a yoga teacher isn’t just handstands + incense.
It’s also:
✨ Showing up on time
✨ Communicating like an adult human
✨ Respecting shared space
✨ And… not fake-dying in a “bike accident” and then being caught dancing at Sisyphos 2h later.
(Yes, that happened.)

If you want to be the teacher studios LOVE working with — not the one they warn others about — consider to take our .co yoga teacher training! Especially the Business part of it..

We’ll teach you how to:
🧘‍♂️ Build a professional career
💸 Not accidentally bankrupt yourself
🔑 Remember where the key box is
🎉 And create a reputation that gets you hired

Because “living your dharma” is great…
…but knowing how to invoice, how to communicate, and how to NOT cause trauma to the management team of the studio.. is even more enlightened.

SUMMER SOLSTICE RETREAT 2025 - time of renewal, abundance, and manifestation ✨

🌞 20.-22.06.2025 🌞 1h away from Berlin

We are so happy to invite you to join our Summer Solstice Yoga Retreat close to Berlin surrounded by beautiful nature. This retreat is your opportunity to hit the reset button, to nourish your soul and to spend a peaceful and relaxing weekend away from the city.

The cozy retreat space is located in the middle of the forest and has a 5000m² garden that invites you to calm down, take a dip in the swimming pool or heat up in the sauna.

The days around Summer Solstice have a deep spiritual meaning and are a wonderful and potent time for personal renewal, to set intentions and make space for abundance & prosperity.

For one whole weekend we will be practicing the art of presence & being in community with a small intimate group of like minded people.

What makes our retreat special apart from the intimate familiar vibe, the pool, the sauna and the short & easy travel from Berlin? It is probably the most affordable weekend retreat you’ll find! Our wish is to make this experience accessible for everybody that’s why our price options start already from 295€.

We have only 8 spots available, for bookings just write a private message & we will send you a PDF with the program, more pictures, prices and everything else you need to know

Urban Yoga Retreat in SEZ

On April 28th we are offering a very special Day Retreat in your .co SEZ temple.

The focus of this Day Retreat is to deepen your Yoga practice with the support of breath, drishti & bandhas. We want to dive deep into alignment vs misalignment as unfortunately in our classes we see lots of asanas practiced in a way that will sooner or later lead to injuries. In an open 60min class we are so limited with time that we cannot explain to each student how to practice in a safe way. This is why we created this day retreat that will transform your asana practice & bring it to the next level. We will practice safely, consciously and it will be a day full of fun, yogic wisdom & connection.

During the second part of the day we‘ll chant different mantra, do some voice activation exercises and feel the power of our own voice & ancient mantras.
We’ll close the day with an amazing dance meditation, Ecstatic Dance guided by and end with a closing circle.

We offer this whole Urban Retreat for 75€ (or 70€ with USC)

12-18: Depth of Yoga (60€ or 55€ with USC)
19-22 Voice Activation, Power of Mantra & Ecstatic Dance (15-20€ or 10-15€ with USC)

You can book mantra & dance via Eventbrite (link in .co bio) and the full day or just the yoga via direct message to
