I am a Czech born and Basel-based psychosomatic educator, bodyworker, yoga teacher, performer, international retreat and workshop organiser with experience in and passion for body mechanics, movement, dance, contact improvisation, theatre and voice improvisation, and martial arts.
From 2009 to 2012 I studied psychology and counselling theory at West London University which helps me to differentiate subtle aspects of the human psyche and its processes. Since 2013 I have been closely connected to the Schwelle7 project in Berlin (an artistic & educational venue for body/mind/conscious sexuality practices) created by Felix Ruckert who remains a respected influence and inspiration. I received yoga teaching qualification in India in 2013 and was invited to teach at the same school, Bindusar Yoga School Rishikesh, right after. After, I moved to the Philippines creating there a yoga community and regular "'Weekend Well-Being Retreats" in Sibulan. From 2014 to 2017 I had been organising annual ''Contact Improvisation Event in the Philippines'' with international teachers, introducing this form of alternative movement practice to local communities. Next to that I worked on human empowerment at the local detention center, and with sexually abused women using such tools as movement therapy, yoga, meditation and general psychology. In 2015, I moved my base to Berlin from where, I started to conduct international retreats and workshops in England, Spain, Holland, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Australia and the Philippines on conscious sexuality, movement, empowerment, personal growth and yoga. Besides, I have been involved in various artistic projects as a performer.
I like to inspire people sharing my varied experiences and perspectives on living life. I like exploring limits of different intensities, both subtle and extreme.
