Sabine

Sabine is a Vinyasa, Hatha and Prenatal yoga teacher as well as a professional dancer and choreographer.

Sabine believes the best teacher in life is ourselves and thus, it’s invaluable to obverse and expand our own awareness in order to transform that which we would like to.

Conscious movement has been Sabine’s life long path. Being a professional dancer from a young age and a yoga practitioner for 15 years, the connection between mind and body is essential for her - breath forming the bridge between these two.

Fascinated by the uniqueness of each individual and therefore the need of different approaches, Sabine offers different tools in the class so each person has the opportunity to connect to the aspect he/she requires.

Be it inner calm, an open body, a free mind, connecting to flow of energy or physical strength.
