About Leela’s Yoga

I’ve been practicing Yoga for over fifteen years and am teaching for ten years. Today, I help people repattern their Nervous System and heal their bodies through releasing tension in the fascia. This allows for an ability to find safety and grounding in any situation of their life. The body is our portal to connect to Source - which ultimately is what “does” the healing. Recently, I’ve become fascinated by intimacy - how can we get real intimate with and in our own bodies? What’s in the way of this immediate experience? And of course what would it mean, to experience this with another body in movement?

My academic search for truth aka Source ended in a Master of Theology (UZH) - but didn’t get me anywhere. What I was looking for was experienced more on my yogamat - so I took a first teacher training. Soon after, I added an advanced training in Vinyasaflow with Julie Martin and in depth philosophy and history with Emil Wendel. I trained in Restorative Yoga and have concluded the certification programe in traumasensitive Yoga offered by the Center for Trauma and Embodiment in Boston in 2020.

My desire to keep learning and expanding my knowledge is insatiable - I continue to work with movement masters like Vincent Martinez-Grieco or Bruno Caverna.

I have an ongoing mentorship and mastery with my mentor Kiran Trace and translate her teachings into movement, be it in my classes or on her retreats.
