I teach mainly Vinyasa, with an emphasis on breathing and meditation. Also yin. The most important thing is that I customize the sessions and intuitively tune into what is needed on the day.

95.93 C$ /h

Swedish is my mother tongue, but I have lived abroad for most of my life. I help you with pronunciation, grammar and most importantly to practice having an actual conversation in Swedish. Getting the confidence to actually speak is key and we will have fun doing so!

Yoga for children with Martina is where children can speak and be heard; play and be seen; move and be moved - in mindful and inspiring ways. Where children are encouraged to be happy, calm, and confident in who they are. A fun, creative, and safe environment for children and teens to engage in group activities with their peers as well as family-based sessions. Yoga for children is a wonderful asset to their growth and development. A holistic learning time, cultivates patience, compassion, and respect for the self, one another, and all living beings.

We’ll explore the body’s natural movements through yoga, so that we can increase our strength and flexibility. We’ll discover how to relax our mind and look after our emotions. We’ll unearth our innate creativity through crafts and stories. We’ll learn how to improve our concentration, how to respect and embrace our differences and bond over our similarities. There will be high-energy times and quiet times; musical times and inventive times; laughing times, sharing times and concentrating times. All of that and more will be our yoga time, together. Yay!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS CLASS IS FOR CHILDREN & TEENS, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE AGE OF 17. For a Family Class, please send a message

My classes are slow, embodied and deeply grounding. I focus on simple, accessible movements and asanas that soften the neck, open the chest, release the diaphragm and create more space for your breath.

This class is ideal for:
• beginners who want a gentle introduction to yoga;
• people who feel stressed, tense or disconnected from the body;
• singers, speakers or creators who want better breath and posture;
• anyone seeking more calm, clarity and body-awareness;

What we’ll work on:
• mindful breathwork
• grounding the legs & spine
• soft joint mobility
• postures that reset the nervous system
• gentle strengthening
• relaxation at the end (with beautiful sound bath if we meet offline)

• Duration: 1 hour
• In-person in Ericeira or online
• Languages: English / Ukrainian
• All levels welcome

Learn the fundamentals of the Yoga tradition and deepen your practice! Find balance, well-being and peace within yourself.
Increase your knowledge and skills in:
- Asana (physical postures), for better strength, flexibility and mobility
- Pranayama (or breathwork), to cultivate a more calm nervous system
- Meditation, for a deeper sense of connection with yourself
- Philosophy, for a broader view of the world and a stronger sense of direction in your own life path

I am trained in different styles of Yoga, such as Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, as well as Sound Healing Therapy and Ayurvedic Massage. Through these tools I guide and help my students to create a practice that best serves their own particular needs, whether that be to find more physical balance, mental clarity or emotional healing.
I come from a scientific background, specifically Physics and Mathematics, and Yoga came into my life out of this need to self regulate and further understand the Universe and my place in it. I feel that these two areas complement each other very well. I try to by precise and methodical, allowing the subjectivity of each one's experience to come to the surface, welcoming it and using it to explore our own reality.

Everyone is unique, with a certain life path, a specific set of desires, needs and difficulties and my goal is to help you by meeting you where you are and guiding you to where you want to go, giving you the tools to know yourself better and build a practice that works for you.

Yoga is a very broad tradition and there are multiple ways to achieve the Yoga state. By working together we can find out what works best for you and in a particular phase of your life and expand on that.
Yoga has certainly given me the foundation to relax when I feel overwhelmed, to know my body and mind and thus walk towards healing them of past traumas, and find spiritual connection and light when the world feels a little bit darker.

If you feel called to work in yourself and you feel I might offer what you are looking for, then contact me, let's chat a bit more and see how deep we can go.

May all beings find peace, happiness and love.
