About Me

 My name is Arlette and I am a yoga teacher in Berlin. Nice to meet you!

I’ve lived a life full of experience. Born and raised in Berlin, I have been practicing yoga for 25 years. In that time, I have come to understand how the body, mind and heart belong together. I believe that yoga embodies all three: as we move, we focus our minds and find loving peace in our hearts.

But that wasn’t always the case. During my first yoga class, I was honestly just…not feeling it! I wasn’t sure if yoga was right for me, and I didn’t yet understand how my inner life could be awakened by my breath and my movements. However, over time, I began to unravel the stories that were within me, while also discovering the joy that comes from simply ‘being.’

Yoga aroused my curiosity, and I found peace and power in my practice. I wanted to share my newfound knowledge with others, believing that I could support them on their own journeys with warmth and with love. I decided to train as a yoga teacher.

I honed my craft with over 500 hours of training at Spirit Yoga, which offered a contemporary translation of the more-than-3000-year-old Indian practice of yoga, providing me with a clear and well-grounded foundation. I also received my Yoga Alliance Certification.

I learned the basics of yoga therapy based on the principles of spiral dynamics, which strengthens the whole body using the movement of deep spiral lines from the central core and received certification from Lilla Wuttich. I am grateful to have studied with countless incredible teachers and have been, and still continue to be, inspired by many wonderful people along the way.
