Yin-, Gentle Hatha- and Restorative Yoga Teacher at Yoga Minds

A journey inwards.

Yoga came into my life at a time when I didn’t fully realize how much I needed it. I had been moving through the world in a haze of doing – reacting to circumstances, feeling pulled by every external event. 

I was living from the outside in, rather than from the inside out. It wasn’t until I began to practice yoga consistently that I truly understood how disconnected I was from myself.

My classes offer a sanctuary of silence and stillness.

At first Yoga was just a physical activity. But, as I returned to my mat again and again, something deeper began to shift. I began to feel something I hadn’t allowed myself to feel: stillness.  

Not just the stillness of my body in savasana, but a quieting within. Thought and action, space to choose how I want to show up.

Not just the stillness of my body in savasana, but a quieting within.

Yoga taught me how to go inward. I saw the way I reacted to stress, to conflict, to discomfort – without even pausing to notice patterns. I began to understand that these reactions weren’t just habits – they were deeply ingrained responses built over years, shaped by experiences and beliefs I’d never taken the time to examine. Yoga has given me the ability to create space – space between stimulus and response, space between.

Central to this journey has been “the breath”, my breath.

Yoga made me aware of its power, my breath became my anchor. I noticed how my breath reflected my emotional state and how the simple act of consciously breathing can bring me back to myself.

Through my journey inward – learning to pause, breathe and truly observe myself I’ve discovered tools for peace, healing and presence. .

Through yoga I started observing rather than judging myself..

As a teacher, I feel deeply called to share what yoga has given me. To offer with gratitude that same empowerment, to know that you can return to your breath, that you can find stillness within and respond to life with awareness rather than reaction.
Yoga is more than movement – it’s a path to inner freedom – finding your own way home to yourself…
With love, Ilse
