We are Green YogaA group of yoga teachers working and growing together, being the change we want to see in the world. We work together, sing together, meditate together, and celebrate life. Together we are in Yoga - Green Yoga.Here's our story!
In 2018, Green Yoga sprouted in a small room and has now grown into a big yoga community with almost 100 yoga teachers and two studios offering more than 30 classes every day online and offline.
Sri and Nora started this project without high ambitions, but a strong will to spread yoga and plant trees - helping people and Mother Earth to heal.
Sri previously was in for the money working as a salesman in a tech consultancy. Personal hardship brought him to meditation and soon he was known as the “Meditation Guru” to his co-workers. After experiencing the wonderful effects of meditation he felt a strong calling to share his gained wisdom on a larger scale.
Nora was already striving for a positive impact when working around the globe, consulting big organizations on Green Economy and Sustainability. Her travels around the world became travel inside. She realized for herself the change she wanted to see in the world has to rather come inside-out than top-down.
As life goes on and destiny plays its role, soon Sri and Nora were surrounded by like-minded yoga teachers who were eager to use their skills and knowledge to support the Green Yoga project to grow into a big tree.
Sonja was one of the first teachers to join the team and has been growing many of the offered classes from zero, now using her Marketing know-how to grow the Green Yoga Facebook Community.
Alexandra, a former classmate of Sri from the business school, who had also decided to leave the capitalistic rat race behind and found her own conscious start-up, is supporting Green Yoga with her passion for numbers and accounting.
Safwen , who met Nora years ago during their yoga teacher training in India, has pretty much taken over the technical department of Green Yoga developing the new website and soon to come online yoga portal.
Giulia joined the team as one of our most experienced yoga teachers sharing her yogic wisdom as well as adding the “cherry on the cake”. Bringing in her creativity and female touch, thinking of the little details that are making the difference, supporting in internal and external communication, and customer care.
Christian discovering Green Yoga as a student and neighbor quickly turned into one of the most wanted teachers and the “jack of all trades”, always providing that “saving hand” when most needed.
Anne, also a former neighbor of Green Yoga, started teaching morning Vinyasas and has successfully grown a whole other branch of the Green Yoga tree - starting the outdoor location “Volkspark Friedrichshain”.
Sabrina shortly after joining as a teacher started to support internal operations. Being the rock in the surf at times when the chaos is complete.
Yasemin joined as a teacher but soon discovered her real calling - using her magic social media skills to help Green Yoga to get the attention online that it was already getting offline.
Grace is teaching and texting for Green Yoga - supporting Green Yoga to always find the right words.
Janice is one of the few teachers having experience with online yoga from even pre corona time consulting Green Yoga to perfect the quality of their online classes.
