OUR STUDIO & TEAM

During extensive travels and longer stays across Asia, I experienced how deeply regular rituals and intentional recovery can shape wellbeing. I founded Zenctuary with a clear vision: to bring the benefits of sauna, ice bath, breathwork and mindful regeneration out of the retreat setting and into everyday life.

The result is an urban oasis where people can calm their nervous system on a regular basis, restore their energy and consciously slow down — without travelling far or taking several days off. Because I believe lasting wellbeing doesn't come from rare escapes, but from small, regular moments of regeneration that fit into modern life for good.

I've long been fascinated by the question of how we can create a life that feels light, free and in balance. Wellbeing, personal growth and mental health have accompanied and inspired me for many years.

That makes it all the more special to combine this passion with my work at Zenctuary. It motivates me deeply to help shape a place that supports people in finding calm, restoring their energy and consciously taking time for themselves in the middle of a busy city.

I spent 15 years exploring spirituality, trying different practices, studying with different teachers, walking different paths. Along the way, my understanding of what was possible shifted. Spiritual work changed how I saw myself, my relationships, the world.

That's what moves me to support others through their own transformation. Not as an expert telling people what to do, but as someone who's been on the journey and knows how disorienting and also how powerful it can be. I'm grateful to be part of Zenctuary's space, where these transformations can actually happen, where people can explore, shift, and reconnect with who they truly are.

Over the years, I've explored different ways of connecting with myself and understanding what happens within. Some of my deepest reflections have happened on a yoga mat, learning to listen to my body, allow myself to feel, and simply be more present.

What I love about Zenctuary is that it makes this way of living more consciously tangible. A space where we can pause, breathe, reconnect with the body and simply be, without having to escape from everyday life.

I'm very happy to be part of a space that invites people to slow down, turn inward and create their own moments of calm and wellbeing in the middle of everyday life.

My own longing for more depth, aliveness and connection opened the door to spirituality for me a few years ago. Since then, precious practices like yoga and meditation have been my ways of seeing myself and the world from a more holistic perspective. It remains a deeply freeing realisation that we are all part of something greater — and that we may trust life despite our doubts and fears.

Even though everyone ultimately walks their own path, I find it invaluable to keep meeting others and to notice how many people are exploring the same big questions. Zenctuary is a place of genuine encounter, where everyone can be exactly as they are and where body and mind can come to rest. Especially in fast-paced Berlin, I often longed for a space like this — which makes me all the happier to be part of this oasis.

I discovered yoga in 2020 as an online alternative to physical exercise, and gradually understood that it had much more to offer than just flexibility.

Yoga is a practice that deepens introspection, awareness, focus, self-acceptance, discipline, and ultimately spirituality. And Zenctuary is much more than a yoga studio: it's a place to go within, slow down, discover different practices, and combine mindful movement with stillness and rest in the middle of a busy city.

I'm incredibly happy to be part of this reality, and am looking forward to sharing my practice and learnings with the community of this special place.

Hi, I'm Melanie. As a sound healer and holistic practitioner, I create a safe, nurturing sanctuary where your busy mind can completely power down.

In my group gong baths, I use the enveloping frequencies and vibrations of the gong to guide you past your logical thoughts and directly into deep relaxation. It is a full sensory experience where boundaries dissolve, tension melts, and stuck energy can flow freely.

With my background in holistic wellness, I am here to hold a steady, compassionate space for your inner journey.

I'm a Berlin-based artist and independent researcher. I have been studying and teaching Hunyuan Taiji and Qigong since 2016, following the Hunyuan lineage of Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang and Pan Houcheng.

With a background in philosophy and contemporary art, I approach Taiji and Qigong not only as martial and health practices, but also as ways of exploring attention, embodiment, emotion, and the relationship between body and environment. My teaching combines traditional Hunyuan principles with an open, contemporary approach to movement, emphasizing relaxation, internal connection, listening, and the cultivation of a grounded and responsive body.

I'm a yoga teacher specializing in Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin. I see yoga as a way to reconnect with the body, the breath, and the present moment – something that became especially meaningful to me during my years working in corporate sustainability.

With a demanding professional life, yoga gave me a space to slow down, come back to myself, and find balance. Over time, I realized how much I enjoyed not only practicing, but also sharing these benefits with others, which led me to make teaching yoga a bigger part of my life.

In my classes, I invite you to explore movement with awareness and curiosity, while encouraging each student to find a practice that feels right for their own body and experience. I aim to create practices that leave you feeling both energized and relaxed, using mindful and conscious movement to help you feel good in your body and, ultimately, about yourself.

With over 15 years of yoga practice, a background as a professional dancer, and formal teacher training completed in India, I approach movement with both technical precision and deep respect for tradition.

I discovered yoga as a way to explore the connection between mind and movement. With a background in sociology and a deep interest in philosophy, I found in yoga a path to presence, a way to experience the body as part of the vast web of interbeing that unites all sentient life. I have completed an Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training and studied Hatha Yoga during an immersive period in Nepal.

For me, yoga is a path of self-inquiry, an ongoing exploration of the mind and the ways we move through life. My practice extends beyond the asanas: it is about observing the shapes we create not only on the mat but also in our daily interactions. My teaching is characterized by the exploration of subtle patterns and the different layers through which energy moves in the body.

I believe yoga extends far beyond the mat — it's a practice of awareness that we can carry into everyday life. For me, living this practice means staying curious — whether on the mat exploring movement and philosophy, through the healing vibrations of sound, or the fresh inspiration and local traditions I discover through my travels.

Bringing these elements together, I create classes that combine energizing vinyasa flows and yoga philosophy, using the breath to bridge mind and body alongside the power of sound. My teaching focuses on building strength, using dynamic flows and bodily awareness to guide students into the present moment. By tuning into physical sensations and the body's wisdom, the mind naturally slows down — grounding the nervous system and creating space for both movement and stillness.

I'm a yoga and meditation teacher from Sri Lanka with over 17 years of teaching experience. I completed my 200-hour and 500-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, and am now based in Berlin.

My teaching emphasizes mindful breathing, body alignment, and understanding each movement, helping you practise with awareness and respect for your individual needs. Through my Full Body Yoga Journey and guided meditation classes, I welcome all levels and share practical ways to bring yoga into everyday life, supporting physical well-being, inner calm, and a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

I'm interested in what truly brings people into connection – with themselves, with others and with what matters to them in life. My workshops are less about passing on knowledge and more about experiencing yourself, discovering new perspectives and making real encounters possible – without judgement and without having to perform. My work is grounded in training in coaching, Nonviolent Communication, body-oriented work and relationship-dynamic sex therapy.

As a former competitive track and field athlete, I know the joy of challenging yourself physically and feeling your own energy afterwards. That's exactly what I share in my HIIT workouts: intense movement, good energy and training that adapts to every level.

I'm an E-RYT 500 (via Yoga Alliance) teacher implementing functional movement into my classes, with a decade of teaching experience across San Francisco and Berlin. My teaching is informed by my own experiences with previous spinal osteoarthritis, injury, and limited mobility, while aiming to incorporate principles of alignment, balance in load and sensation, sustainability, accessibility, exploration, and self-inquiry.

I continue to study with my teacher, Jason Crandell, and have also been trained by the creator of restorative yoga, Judith Hanson Lasater, DPT. My vinyasa classes integrate progressive movement with plenty of choices to do what's best for your own body. My restorative classes (affectionately called "supervised napping") focus on breath and nervous system regulation towards a relaxed state.

Olá! My name is Díni and I'm a Berlin-based yoga teacher offering Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga classes. My teaching blends mindful movement, breathwork, relaxation and sound experiences, including the resonant tones of the gong, to create a grounding and immersive practice.

Through clear guidance, visualisations and accessible modifications, I encourage students to move with curiosity, cultivate body awareness and find their own rhythm. My classes balance strength and softness, movement and stillness, creating an inclusive space to reconnect with themselves at their own pace.

Drawing on my background in international facilitation, I bring a thoughtful, people-centred approach to teaching. I hold a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification from Yoga Alliance and continue to deepen my practice through a 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher training.

My journey into crystal alchemy soundscapes began 8 years ago in Australia. I was seeking a way to release the mass amounts of stress from my longtime career in the North American touring music industry. Through combining meditation with my unique set of alchemy bowls, I stumbled across what I've found to be the quickest and easiest way to reach the deepest of states.

It was from these new states of awareness that I felt my layers unravel and I felt a return to my truest of self. This is where I've found that the magic can really happen… and this is why I'm so excited to share this practice from my heart, in hope that you may also find your own inner peace through deep resonance and stillness.
