Yoga to fall in love with your body - mind - spirit.
Teaching yoga, regularly practicing, and sharing its principles is a big passion of mine since graduating as a yoga teacher back in 2012 in Washington DC.
My teaching style is smooth, comforting, and caring, with 1st priority on the client's goals. After the class, you feel recharged with deep dynamic flow (VINYASA) or fully relaxed long-held yin poses (YIN YOGA). You can experience the mind-calming benefits during MEDITATION, nourishment of touch from the elements of THAI YOGA MASSAGE, and hands-on assistance when the body asks for deeper sensations, simple modifications, or help.
If your focus is on strengthening, weight loss, and conditioning of the body, and especially IF you are fond of electronic dance music and open to shaking your hips and spinning wildly your chakras, we are definitely a great match! In this class (called BUTI YOGA) you will be guided in energetic POWER YOGA fused with cardio and HIIT (bonus: a bit of sweat guaranteed ;-).
All class types are balanced and harmonious for ANY LEVEL of yoga experience. Classes are accessible to beginners, and can also be quite challenging for regular practitioners.
I offer mini-group classes, individual and virtually online. When the weather is warm and dry, we can bring yoga outdoors in the park.
Please feel free to reach me if you want to learn more or have any questions. Don't be shy, we are one. ;-)
Warmly 🙏 namaste,
Liana

Dance & Therapy session | Transcendental EmbodimentAre you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Embodiment is a dance practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities.
I am here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through:
- energy alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises
- self-expression & subjective experience through dance
- expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance
- release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions
- grounding, self-care, resilience
- and more...
The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual.
*Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey.
*
As a professional dancer, teacher, and performance maker I am introspectively processing each working day in consciousness, listening to my upcoming emotions, triggers, or anxiety when it comes to be physically and mentally performative in a team, or as a freelance artist.
Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives.
It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path.
This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination.
* What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? *
* What is your self-achievement potentiality? *
- For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / One-to-one or group sessions.
- Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location.
Values: Integrity, Transparency, Respect, Cooperation
* About TE :
Transcendental Embodiment (TE) is the result of three years of research and development. Merging from a movement philosophy research entitled Behind & Beyond, to its phenomenological understanding. The metaphysical unity of the tangible and intangible bodies expounds on the undeniable relationships between those in the physical realm. The tangible body (the material vehicle), the intangibles bodies (psychological, emotional, energetical, and spiritual). As a dance healing practice, guiding the practitioner to conscious corporeality, and subjective emotional understanding, this methodology can also be a useful tool to improve artistry and technical skills on a deeper level, widening mindful creativity, awareness, empathy, and sensitivity.
(TE) movement and dance methodology combines a meditative approach in stillness and through movement, awakening the mind, spreading the awareness into different body parts; putting a specific emphasis on improvisation skills, and musicality, following energy impulses and intuitive movement and increasing the flow of energy. Inviting the practitioners to practice resilience, non-self definition, non-judgment, self-care and self-love, integrity, and acceptance to overcome technical, physical, and mental limits holding the practitioner from his self-achievement potentiality. This approach builds itself crescendo on subjective movement reflexivity and introspective journey through the following process:

Just 90 minutes of mindful movement and mental clarity from the comfort of your home.

With careful, step-by-step guidance and attention to alignment, this session is designed to help you:

❓Is Hatha Yoga for Me?
If you're looking for a calm, unhurried class that helps you listen to your body, yes—this is for you.
Hatha Yoga is practiced slowly, with an emphasis on alignment and awareness. This style is especially supportive for beginners and anyone who wants to build a safer, more intentional practice.
You’ll learn to move with mindfulness, which not only prevents injury but also sharpens your concentration and connects you to your inner stillness.dent said after class, “It felt like my spine could breathe again.
🌿 About Myself
Hi, I'm Daphne — a passionate yogini, certified RYT 200 since 2016. My background is in Hatha yoga, and these days, I'm deeply immersed in the alignment-focused practice of Iyengar yoga.
I offer online/offline yoga classes that are gentle yet powerful, focusing on precision, posture, and healing.
I’m Austrian, grew up in Japan, and now live in Malta with my two young children. I speak English, German, and Japanese. Daily meditation (Triratna style) is an essential part of my life and deeply influences my teaching. I believe yoga is a journey inward, not a performance.
🌿 My Journey with Yoga
I discovered yoga not once, but twice — each time in a way that transformed my life.
🧭 The First Discovery — Yoga as a Way of Life
In my late twenties, while backpacking through North India, I found myself in Rishikesh —
not knowing it was one of the world’s most sacred places for yoga. There, I trained with inspiring teachers in Hatha and Iyengar yoga,
including Ashish Sharma. I joined a retreat at the Yoga-Gang Centre in Old Rajpur, and for the first time, truly understood yoga as more than physical movement —
it was a philosophical, mindful approach to life.
🩺 The Second Discovery — Yoga as Healing
Years later, after giving birth, I suffered from intense postnatal back pain.
I couldn’t even do basic poses. After seeing a chiropractor, I slowly returned to my mat.
With consistent Iyengar practice, within a few months, my pain was gone.
This experience showed me the therapeutic power of yoga — how it can heal and restore the body from within.
