A neuroscientist-guided fun yoga class with dance and vocal-sound meditation for children to achieve peak performance in daily life

Von 19.05 $ /Std

An engineer-neuroscientist from McGill University, experienced in yoga, meditation and Indian classical dance; teaches fun yoga with dance and nada (vocal sound) meditation; provides free tips on brain science for focus and concentration.

As a computer science engineer (postgraduated from one of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technolgoy in India) turned neuroscientist (PhD from McGill University) with extensive experience in science, maths, technology, research, physical and mental health, my goal is to infuse the findings of research to the young minds at an early age. These findings relate to maintaining the health while working towards achieving best performance in academia, sports, or any other activities. For some students, maths may be an enemy and literature is a friend, for others,it may be different. For some, memorization task may be difficult while others may adopt "contextual strategy" to learn fast. But little do we know and/or consider in our daily lives how to train our brain and mind to enhance memory without peer/parental/school/ etc... pressure on children. This is where I come in. I help children to use their weaknesses to develop a growth mindset.

-Teaching methods: customized according to student's needs, ability to comprehend, and study-level

-Typical plan: warmup exercise, hatha-yoga asanas, fun yoga-dance, meditation (breathing, concentration, sound). Once in a while, steps from Indian classical dance and music and memory games to improve memory and prevent boredom.
-Why me?- As a neuroscientist, I use neuroscience research findings to teach and practice with fun; i provide free theoretical knowledge too. I practice these lessons for my own benefit too.
Lessons for: school children grades 4 to 10 (the earlier a child starts these practices, the better they are)

My classes will introduce you to the beauty of flowing sequences and how to connect you breath with your movements. I will focus on energizing your body through core strenghth and dynamic flows or more grounding standing series. Explore your body through movement in a light and playful way and improve your flexibility while learning how to use your breath in a healing way.

I'm offering private yoga sessions suitable for one person or small groups.

Prices for small groups can be discussed.

What I like about teaching:
I'm interested in encouraging people to use their breath in an empowering and healing way. Further to that I like the combination of flowing movements and the cultivation of groundedness both with deep Ujjayi Breath. Through hands-on assists I like to support my
students to get a deeper sensation of the pose and experience the borders of their bodies. In my classes I like to hold space for my students to experiment, discover their strength and to overcome fears.

Yoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.

I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.

A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?

I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class.
Are you ready for this journey ? (Beginner, intermediate or advanced welcome)

Pilates, Barre and other classes available with me on demand.
I have recently graduated with a Barre foundations diploma, provided by the MethodBarre. Barre a very popular sports enables you to build strength and elongate your muscles. As an ancient dancer (Jazz and Ballet) at the Conservatoire de la Musique du Luxembourg, I have strong ballet foundations. However, my barre practice merges fitness and ballet. Yogi’s and anyone can benefit from Barre classes.

You can book me for retreats, private (luxury) trips on demand as your coach/ instructor.

Finally, I have a nutrition diploma by the Univeristy of Groningen, where I am also currently being trained to become an MD.

My personal goal is to share the experience of "health, happiness, and harmony in life through yoga" (Swami Niranjanananda's guideline) with others. I firmly believe that yoga is a powerful tool to promote physical and mental well-being, find inner peace, and lead a balanced life. This philosophy flows into my teaching and inspires my students to begin their own journey towards greater well-being and harmony.

After practicing yoga intensively since 2008, both in Satyananda ashrams in Greece and India, as well as daily as a personal sadhana, and initiated in Karma Sannyasa by Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati, my heart has been even more dedicated to the Satyananda system of yoga. My yogic name (Sannyasin) reflects my deep connection to this tradition. My commitment to yoga is also evident in my continuous education. Since 2008, I have been participating in numerous yoga and meditation workshops and seminars in Europe and India. In 2024, I successfully completed my Yoga Alliance training in Vienna, further refining my skills as a yoga teacher. For the past year, I have been teaching yoga privately to adults, gaining valuable experience in imparting yoga practices.

My passion for yoga, coupled with my musical background, allows me to create unique and inspiring yoga classes. My academic career includes a Master's degree in Musicology with a specialization in Music Education, as well as various Bachelor's degrees in Classical Piano, Opera Singing, Music Composition, and Theory. As a flutist and passionate kirtan singer, I bring a special musical touch to the yoga practice. A special advantage is my ability to teach yoga primarily in English and Greek. These language skills allow me to reach a wide range of students and offer international classes.

As a yoga teacher, I pass on my knowledge as follows:
-Creating an inviting atmosphere
-Structure of the lesson: Starting with mantras chanting, asanas, pranayamas, relaxation (Satyananda System of Yoga)
-Clear guidance and demonstration when necessary
-Addressing students individually
-Conveying yoga philosophy
-Motivating and inspiring
-Being authentic and leading by example
-Open to questions and feedback

Transform your living room into a peaceful yoga space―no commute, no rush.
Just 90 minutes of mindful movement and mental clarity from the comfort of your home.

🌿 What to Expect
This is a slow-paced Hatha Yoga class with deep focus on mental clarity, emotional balance, and body awareness.
With careful, step-by-step guidance and attention to alignment, this session is designed to help you:
✨ Release tension
✨ Reconnect with your breath
✨ Feel grounded and calm
✨ Improve your focus through mindful movement

❓Is Hatha Yoga for Me?
If you're looking for a calm, unhurried class that helps you listen to your body, yes—this is for you.
Hatha Yoga is practiced slowly, with an emphasis on alignment and awareness. This style is especially supportive for beginners and anyone who wants to build a safer, more intentional practice.

You’ll learn to move with mindfulness, which not only prevents injury but also sharpens your concentration and connects you to your inner stillness.dent said after class, “It felt like my spine could breathe again.
🌿 About Myself
Hi, I'm Daphne — a passionate yogini, certified RYT 200 since 2016. My background is in Hatha yoga, and these days, I'm deeply immersed in the alignment-focused practice of Iyengar yoga.
I offer online/offline yoga classes that are gentle yet powerful, focusing on precision, posture, and healing.
I’m Austrian, grew up in Japan, and now live in Malta with my two young children. I speak English, German, and Japanese. Daily meditation (Triratna style) is an essential part of my life and deeply influences my teaching. I believe yoga is a journey inward, not a performance.

🌿 My Journey with Yoga
I discovered yoga not once, but twice — each time in a way that transformed my life.

🧭 The First Discovery — Yoga as a Way of Life
In my late twenties, while backpacking through North India, I found myself in Rishikesh —
not knowing it was one of the world’s most sacred places for yoga. There, I trained with inspiring teachers in Hatha and Iyengar yoga,
including Ashish Sharma. I joined a retreat at the Yoga-Gang Centre in Old Rajpur, and for the first time, truly understood yoga as more than physical movement —
it was a philosophical, mindful approach to life.

🩺 The Second Discovery — Yoga as Healing
Years later, after giving birth, I suffered from intense postnatal back pain.
I couldn’t even do basic poses. After seeing a chiropractor, I slowly returned to my mat.
With consistent Iyengar practice, within a few months, my pain was gone.
This experience showed me the therapeutic power of yoga — how it can heal and restore the body from within.

Hi, I'm Aakriti — a certified yoga teacher (RYS 200 YOGA ALLIANCE) from the Himalayas, India, now based in Germany.
I teach a grounded and soulful blend of Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Flow, focusing on alignment, breath, and mindful movement. My classes offer a calm and welcoming space where you can reconnect with your body, breath, and inner stillness.
I also share the healing practices of Pranayama (breathwork) and meditation, drawing from years of personal practice to guide students toward balance and deeper self-awareness.

The lessons will be tailored to you and will primarily focus on the practice of asanas, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation. If you would like to go deeper, we can also include banhas, pratyahara, chakra work, hormone yoga, raja yoga, or philosophy in practice with Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras or Hatha Yoga Pradipika. I also hold many courses for pregnant women and can offer you prenatal yoga as well.

The classes are designed for adults and young adults and can be conducted in Italian, German, or English.

N.B. A lesson after the first one lasts 45 minutes (and not 60 minutes) because I have more online lessons and need to take a short break between them. Thank you for your understanding :)

I am a certified Yoga Instructor with over three years of professional teaching experience, specializing in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga Yoga. I hold a 450-hour certification from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (New Delhi) and a Master’s degree in Yoga, along with a 100-hour Medical Yoga Teacher Training certification from IIAS School of Yoga, Noida.

My teaching journey has allowed me to guide students across all levels—complete beginners, regular practitioners, and advanced students seeking deeper alignment and strength. I have taught both group classes and one-to-one sessions, focusing on creating a supportive, safe, and empowering environment where students feel comfortable progressing at their own pace.

My approach integrates mindful movement, breath awareness, functional alignment, and intuitive sequencing. I deeply believe that yoga is not just a practice but a transformative lifestyle, and I aim to help individuals feel stronger, calmer, and more connected to their bodies.

Currently, I am working at a yoga studio in Berlin while expanding my teaching presence within the city. I also create yoga content on my YouTube channel, where I offer accessible sessions for Hindi-speaking communities and women who want to build a consistent wellness routine.

What sets me apart is my ability to blend traditional yoga knowledge with modern, practical teaching styles. I bring professionalism, warmth, and clear communication to every class. Whether it is strength-focused Vinyasa, grounding Hatha, or structured Ashtanga, I ensure that every session is engaging, safe, and aligned with each student’s individual needs.

I am passionate about contributing to the growing wellness community in Berlin and eager to bring my skills, authenticity, and dedication to a studio or individual seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and inspiring yoga teacher.

The Hoop is a wonderful fitness and dance tool and easy to fall in love with! Moving with it can improve your fitness and strengh, your creative expression, your self esteem and dance skills.

Depending on your personal goals, my live online classes focus on dance or fitness movements. This way or the other, I will create a fun and structured practice for you. The class is suitable for beginners and intermediate students, with advanced options for experienced hoopers, including multihoop variations.

Each session follows a clear structure so you can feel guided, safe and progressively challenged:

1. Warm-Up
Gentle full-body warm-up to mobilize joints, activate the core and prepare the body for hoop movement. We focus on coordination, balance and flow.

2. Technique & Skill Development
Step-by-step hoop technique, starting from foundational movements and gradually building complexity.
Advanced students receive layered variations and optional multihoop techniques, while beginners work on solid basics.

3. Choreography & Flow
We combine learned techniques into a short choreographic sequence. The focus is on fluid transitions, musicality and personal expression rather than perfection.

4. Cool Down & Integration
A calm cool-down with stretching and breath awareness to release tension and integrate the practice.
