From Yoga to Sound Healing: My Journey as a Yoga Teacher in Mallorca

How travelling, Mexico, movement and my own search for grounding shaped the way I teach yoga and work with sound today.

Yoga has been part of my life for many years, but my journey with it has never followed a straight line.

It has taken me from travelling and backpacking in my early twenties to practising online yoga in Argentina, completing a five-month yoga teacher training in Mexico, and eventually building my life and business as a yoga teacher and Sound Practitioner in Mallorca.

Looking back, travelling and yoga have actually taught me something very similar: sometimes stepping away from what you know creates the space to reconnect with yourself.

Today, my work combines movement, breath, sound and conscious moments of slowing down. I teach private yoga sessions across Mallorca, work with yoga studios and hotels, facilitate Sound Baths and create experiences that bring all of these elements together.

But the heart of what I do has remained the same: creating moments that allow people to reconnect with their bodies, become more aware of themselves and simply slow down.

This is the story behind my approach to yoga, Sound Healing and Yoga Offsite – and why Mallorca has become such an important part of both my personal practice and my work.

How travelling became part of my yoga journey

Travelling had already become a big part of my life long before I became a yoga teacher.

In my early twenties, I started travelling on my own. One of my first big solo adventures was backpacking through Thailand. I loved the feeling of being somewhere completely different, meeting new people and discovering what happens when you step outside of everything that feels familiar.

During those years, I also travelled to Mexico for the first time – and completely fell in love with Mexico City.

There was something about the energy, the culture and the feeling of the city that stayed with me long after I returned to Berlin.

Another important part of my yoga journey happened in Argentina. There, I started practising a lot of yoga online, including classes with Boho Beautiful, who inspired me a lot at the time.

What attracted me from the beginning was the combination of physical challenge and the completely different feeling I experienced afterwards.

I have always enjoyed the fitness aspect – moving my body, becoming stronger and more flexible, and really feeling my body.

At the same time, yoga gave me something I had never experienced through conventional exercise: a sense of grounding, becoming calmer and reconnecting with myself.

That combination fascinated me from the very beginning.

Why Mexico became such an important chapter

A few years later, while I was still living in Berlin, I found myself at a point in my life where I was looking for a new direction.

I had just gone through a breakup and knew that I wanted to dive deeper into yoga – not only physically, but also as a way of reconnecting with myself and giving myself the space to process everything that had happened.

For some reason, my mind immediately went back to Mexico.

It felt very intuitive.

I knew I wanted to leave my familiar surroundings for a while, dedicate time to myself and go deeper into my yoga practice. And Mexico simply felt like the place I needed to go.

So in 2018, I returned to Mexico and decided to complete my yoga teacher training there.

The training lasted five months and was taught entirely in Spanish.

It became an incredibly formative experience for me because I didn't just learn how to teach yoga – it was also how I really learned Spanish.

After completing the training, I stayed in Mexico for quite a while longer.

What had initially started as a journey to deepen my yoga practice became a much bigger chapter of my life and shaped both my personal practice and the way I later began to teach.

At that point, I still didn't have a master plan to turn yoga into my profession. That happened naturally, step by step.

The more I practised and eventually started teaching, the more I realised how much I loved the balance yoga gave me: movement, strength and physical challenge on one side, and grounding, body awareness and the opportunity to quiet the mind on the other.

That balance is still a big part of my work today.

I love a dynamic Vinyasa practice just as much as slow Yin Yoga, meditation or sound.

For me, you don't have to choose between physically challenging yoga and deep relaxation. It is precisely the combination of the two that makes yoga so special.

Building my life as a yoga teacher in Mallorca

In 2026, I made Mallorca my permanent home and built my self-employed career here as a yoga teacher and Sound Practitioner.

Today, I teach in many different settings: from private yoga sessions in villas, fincas and beautiful outdoor locations to regular classes at yoga studios such as Yoga del Mar and SO Mallorca, as well as sessions at various four- and five-star hotels across the island.

I absolutely love this variety.

One day I might teach a private group at a finca, the next day a studio class, and then I might work with hotel guests, some of whom have never practised yoga before.

Those encounters are one of my favourite parts of working in Mallorca.

I constantly meet new people from different countries and backgrounds. Some have been practising yoga for years, while others are stepping onto a yoga mat for the very first time.

I particularly love introducing yoga to people who may have previously thought that yoga simply wasn't for them.

Seeing the shift after a session – when people are visibly more relaxed and you see that glow on their faces – is one of those moments that reminds me why I love what I do.

Mallorca also gives me the opportunity to teach yoga in so many different ways. The nature, the sea, the light and the variety of locations allow every experience to feel a little different.

This combination of private experiences, studio teaching, hotel sessions and working with international guests makes Mallorca a very special place for me, both personally and professionally.

Yoga is not about being “good at yoga”

One of the most important things I want people to understand when they practise with me is that nobody has to prove anything.

Especially when people are new to yoga, they often think they need to be particularly flexible, master certain poses or somehow be “good at yoga”.

For me, that's not what yoga is about at all.

What matters much more to me is the connection between breath, body and mind.

Yoga is an opportunity to consciously turn your attention inward, truly notice your body and become aware of what you need in that particular moment.

I want to encourage people to develop more self-awareness and to see their yoga practice as a form of self-care and self-love.

It doesn't always have to be about going higher, faster or further.

Instead, we can pause and ask ourselves:

How am I actually feeling right now?

How does my body feel?

Where am I holding tension?

What would feel good for me today?

It isn't about what an asana looks like from the outside.

Every body is different, and even our own practice can feel completely different from one day to the next.

If someone leaves my class without being able to do the perfect handstand, but they are breathing more consciously, feeling more connected to themselves and their body, and going home a little calmer, then that is much more valuable to me.

Why I combine Yoga and Sound Healing

What fascinates me about combining yoga with Sound Healing is that each element can help us move away from constant thinking and towards feeling in a different way.

In yoga, we first work actively with the body and the breath.

Then, during a Sound Bath, there comes a point where you don't really have to do anything anymore.

You simply lie down, close your eyes and listen.

I find this transition incredibly beautiful.

After moving the body, many people find it easier to let go, and sound can then create another layer of awareness and relaxation.

It is this journey from movement into stillness that has become an important part of many of the experiences I offer in Mallorca.

How I discovered Sound Healing

My first impulse towards Sound Healing actually came from a podcast by Laura Malina Seiler featuring Sound by Liz.

They talked about Sound Healing, how sound can affect us and the different experiences people can have with it. The subject immediately caught my attention, and I wanted to learn more. Some time later, I travelled back to Mexico to visit friends and attended a Sound Bath myself. That experience changed a lot for me personally.

During the session, something emotional seemed to release that I hadn't really been able to identify before. To me, it felt as though a knot suddenly burst and something I had been holding onto for a long time was finally able to let go.

Of course, this was my own personal experience, and everyone experiences sound differently.But after that Sound Bath, I knew that I wanted to understand what was behind it. I wanted to learn how to work with sound and eventually make this kind of experience accessible to other people.

What happened afterwards has stayed with me ever since.

After the Sound Bath, I went out for dinner by myself. There was a couple sitting at the table next to me whom I had never met before.

When I asked for my bill, I discovered that they had already paid for my dinner.

I was completely surprised and asked them why they had invited me.

They told me that I had such a beautiful, positive energy about me that they simply wanted to give me something and thank me for the energy I was radiating.

Whether that had anything to do with the Sound Bath or was simply a beautiful coincidence, I obviously can't say.

But in that moment, it felt like a wonderful reflection of what I had experienced internally after the session.

I felt lighter, more open and somehow more radiant – and apparently something about that was even noticeable to the people around me.

That experience really sparked my curiosity about sound.

I didn't just want to experience it anymore; I wanted to understand it.

What actually happens when we hear sound? How do frequencies, resonance and overtones work? How do the body and nervous system respond to sound and conscious listening?

That curiosity eventually led me to my training and to my work today as a Sound Practitioner.

It is very important to me to approach Sound Healing in a modern and grounded way.

My own experience was deeply emotional and personal, but I find the actual qualities and possibilities of sound fascinating enough without needing to make universal healing claims.

What makes practising yoga in Mallorca so special?

Mallorca provides an incredibly special environment for yoga.

When we practise outside, the environment itself becomes part of the experience.

There is wind, sunlight, the scent of nature, the sound of the sea and, of course, noises that we can't control.

For me, that's part of the beauty of practising outdoors.

At the same time, most of my Yoga or Sound Healing sessions are private, which allows me to respond individually to the people in front of me.

Some groups want to move, feel energised and challenge themselves. Others simply want to slow down and relax.

So rather than taking a predefined yoga class and simply placing it in a beautiful location, I adapt the practice to the people, their experience level, the environment and what feels right in that particular moment.

Why yoga and Mallorca belong together

Many people come to Mallorca because they want some distance from their everyday lives.

At the same time, the island has so many different sides – the sea, mountains, small coves, fincas, pine forests and the beautiful Mediterranean landscape.

I think yoga fits Mallorca so naturally because both invite us to slow down and become more aware of what is around and within us.

And when people are on holiday, they often have something that is missing in everyday life: time.

That can make it a wonderful opportunity to try yoga for the first time, reconnect with an existing practice or simply dedicate an hour to yourself.

My favourite yoga poses: Headstand & Happy Baby

I actually have two favourite asanas, and they are quite different: Headstand (Sirsasana) and Happy Baby (Ananda Balasana).

What I love about Headstand is the combination of strength, balance, concentration and trust.

You have to be completely present – as soon as your thoughts start wandering, you usually notice it immediately.

At the same time, I love the literal change in perspective: turning the world upside down and seeing things from a different point of view.

For me, Headstand beautifully demonstrates how much can become possible through patience, consistent practice and trust in your own body.

Happy Baby is almost the complete opposite – and perhaps that's exactly why I love it so much.

It is less about performance or control and much more about letting go. The pose opens the hips and lower back and invites you to move, gently rock from side to side and simply be a little playful.

I love these two asanas together because, for me, they represent two sides of yoga: focus, strength and challenge on one side, and lightness, letting go and simply being on the other.

The biggest misconception about yoga

One of the most common mistakes I see, particularly with beginners, is believing that there is a “right” way for yoga to look.

People compare themselves to the person on the mat next to them or to what they see on Instagram. They try to go deeper into a pose even though their own body might need something completely different at that moment.

Yoga isn't a performance.

Two people can practise exactly the same asana and it can look completely different in each body. Learning to listen to and understand your own body is far more important.

My perfect one-hour reset in Mallorca

If I only had one hour to help someone truly slow down in Mallorca, I would combine several of my favourite elements. I would begin with a small cacao ceremony, using that moment to consciously arrive and set an intention for our time together.

From there, I would introduce a short breathing practice followed by a gentle stretching sequence to bring the attention away from everyday life and back into the body.

The majority of the session would then be dedicated to Sound Healing.

You simply lie down, close your eyes and, for that moment, you don't have to do anything anymore – just notice, listen and be.

I love exactly this combination: consciously arriving first, then using breath and gentle movement to reconnect with the body, before gradually moving deeper into letting go through sound.

And ideally, it would take place outdoors in a peaceful location in Mallorca, allowing nature itself to become part of the experience.

For me, that would be a beautiful hour centred around relaxation, connection and letting go.

My favourite way to practise yoga in Mallorca

There are so many beautiful places and yoga studios in Mallorca that I couldn't choose just one favourite.

I particularly love practising yoga directly on the beach.

I enjoy joining beach yoga sessions, practising at SO Mallorca or simply meeting up with yoga teacher friends to practise together.

It doesn't always have to be an organised class.

Sometimes I simply take my own mat to the beach.

I love those uncomplicated moments – being outdoors, hearing the sea, moving the body and sharing the practice with other people.

But if I had to choose one particular moment, it would definitely be yoga at sunrise or sunset.

When the light becomes softer, the island grows quieter and you're practising outside, there is a very special atmosphere.

Those are probably the moments when yoga and Mallorca come together most beautifully for me.

Strength, flexibility or slowing down?

For me, they all belong together.

I originally fell in love with yoga partly because of the physical aspect. I enjoy challenging myself, building strength, becoming more flexible and really feeling my body.

Over the years, however, I have realised that something else has become at least equally important to me: the ability to slow down and consciously reconnect with myself.

That balance is what yoga is about for me.

Some days I need a powerful Vinyasa Flow. On others, I need a slow stretching or Yin practice, conscious breathing or simply stillness.

So if I really had to choose one, today it would probably be the ability to slow down.

Physical strength and flexibility are wonderful, but one of the most valuable aspects of yoga for me is learning to consciously feel your body again, notice your breath and allow yourself a moment in which you don't have to perform, achieve or function.

What I want people to take home from my sessions

More than anything, I want people to take a feeling with them.

Maybe it's a sense of calm, perhaps greater clarity, or simply the feeling of having been a little closer to themselves for a moment.

Of course, I love it when someone decides to integrate yoga or sound more regularly into their everyday life afterwards. But sometimes even one conscious experience can remind us of something we easily forget in daily life:

What it feels like when, for a moment, nothing is being asked or expected of us.

Movement. Connection. Grounding.

If I had to describe my approach in three words, they would be:

Movement. Connection. Grounding.

Movement, because movement has always been an important part of yoga for me. I love both the physical challenge and softer, more intuitive ways of moving.

Connection, because so much of my work is about connection – the connection between body, breath and mind, but also reconnecting with yourself and connecting with the people with whom we share these experiences.

Grounding, because that feeling is what connects yoga and Sound Healing for me: stepping away from everything happening around us, coming back to ourselves, becoming more aware and allowing ourselves a moment to simply be.
