About me
Hi, lovely to see you here!
I'm Annie, let me write a few words about my Yoga-Journey: I first encountered Yoga at a fitness studio and quickly realized how much the asana practice benefited not only my body, but also my mind. A few years later, at a Yoga festival, the deeper essence of Yoga was revealed to me. Inspired, I quit the gym and became a member of a Jivamukti Studio in Berlin, where I immersed in practice and Yoga philosophy through classes and books.
In 2017 I deepened my commitment by completing an Ashtanga-Vinyasa teacher training in India. After many years of practice, I felt called to share my love of Yoga with others and began teaching alongside my primary career as a journalist. My teaching journey has taken me around the world, including a three-month stint as a resident teacher at a Yoga Retreat Center in Costa Rica. 2024 I finished my apprenticeship with Sandra Gerhard in Practice Berlin.
I divide my time between Berlin and Bali, where I live for a few month each year, fully embracing the island’s rich culture and vibrant Yoga community. I practice Ashtanga Mysore in Bali and I'm passionate about the unique energy and spiritual atmosphere the island offers Yogis from all walks of life.
Next to teaching Yoga, I'm a journalists and writer, working on a novel at the moment.
Yoga Classes in Berlin
My classes are a welcoming space for all students to explore movement, breath, and self-awareness— with a sense of joy and openness to discovery. Uplifting music meets mindful alignment and personalized hands-on adjustments. Moving through the sequence, I invite you to deepen your connection with your body, breath, and spirit—cultivating a harmonious awareness of your whole being and for the world around. Each session weaves in moments of spiritual wisdom in the rhythm of movement and meditation to create space for inner stillness. My approach is that you feel grounded and nourished after the class—ready to carry this harmony beyond your mat.

Upcoming Retreats
My spiritual journey brought me to Bali in 2015, where I first fell in love with the island and later with my partner Indra. This island holds a special healing energy which has transformed my life and I'm grateful to return to Bali each year for few month.
There are many truly magical places on Bali, one is Prana Dewi Mountain Resort and I'm delighted to invite you in this beautiful space,
as I will host two Retreats in Prana Dewi this winter.
Release and Renew
a blissful Bali Yoga Retreat
December 14th - 18th, 2025
Are you longing for a nourishing pause at the end of the year and seeking to restore your body and mind? Do you want to reconnect with yourself and release the year in a peaceful, natural sanctuary?
This five-day retreat nestled in the lush gardens of Prana Dewi Resort offers a journey to detox and rebalance. Each day begins with a flowing yoga class designed to release tension and awaken vitality. Mindful meditation and restorative practices in the evening deepen your inner awareness and calmness, while moments of reflections during the day invite creativity and clarity.
Throughout the retreat, you will be nurtured with wholesome, garden-to-plate meals crafted to support cleansing and renewal. Between practices, enjoy time at the fresh spring water pool and in the lush surroundings, journal, enjoy a massage or simply rest in the sanctuary’s calm embrace. Together we will explore the nearby holy temple Pura Luhur Batukaru and walk through the stunning Jatiluwih rice terraces.
This retreat is more than a getaway—it’s an intentional pause at the threshold of a new year. A sacred space to honor your journey, let go with grace, and step forward with renewed clarity, trust, and inspiration.
Open to Surrender
a Bali Yoga immersion
march 7th-12th, 2026
Escape to Bali for a transformative Journey to find stillness, peace and joy.
Nestled in a lush paradise, Valerie and I invite you to immerse yourself in daily Yoga practices, meditation and healing. Together we create a space where you find time and inspiration to reflect, rest and experience personal shifts.
Drawing on Eastern philosophy and Balinese wisdom we carefully theme each day around ancient knowledge to cultivate a deeper connection with spirit and self. Through yoga, meditation and mindful rituals, we aim to harmonize our inner and outer worlds, embracing nature as our guide. There will be time and support to journal and reflect.
Join us for our retreat in Bali and lets get together on a journey of self-discovery, joy and deep connection.
My wish for you is to return home with a renewed sense of inner peace and a heart full of Bali’s magic.
