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."
