Nadine Bauer "My yoga mat is like a little island where everyday life and the world just don't matter. I have been practicing yoga for 20 years and feel a deep connection to the flowing Vinyasa style. Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra are also integral parts of my practice and teaching. Finding a balance between activity and passivity - strength and calm - is crucial both on the mat and in everyday life."

In 2018, Magdalena discovered the tradition of Tantra Yoga and was instantly captivated by this free and life-affirming, subtle yet grounded worldview. The beauty of this practical concept is that it can be experienced both on and off the yoga mat, in the midst of life. "I look forward to sharing with you the feeling of vitality, love, and connection to life."
