HEART WIDE OPEN

Hi, I’m Manu

I’m a yogi, mover and teacher obsessed with the mind-body connection. 

My mission is to birth practices that heal emotional wounding, and reconnect you back with your native body- the one that’s free, connected, and flexible.

Movement is so much more than a physical thing. Movement is a portal!

I’ve been practicing yoga for 13 years, trained in India and all over Europe, and learned from some of the most brilliant physiotherapists and meditation teachers out there. My passion is to combine movement science and ground-breaking research into the science of emotions, and offer it in simple practical terms as healing movement to all my students.

My yoga style combines trauma healing somatics, zen Buddhism, but also biomechanics, and physiotherapy, because I believe there is a bigger picture we’ve been missing in our movement. The body and the mind are one, and only by tending to both can we truly heal.

I invite you on a journey of dedication, feeling, and devotion, and I can’t wait to meet you on the mat.

With love.

  • "Manuela makes the impression of a human being full of happiness, warmth and acceptance. You can instantly sense that she is tremendously dedicated to what she is doing and passionate about that. And what's most important for me, you know that she is authentic, and you can trust her. I have learnt so much about myself and my power through her unique take on meditation"

    – Justyna F.

  • “Manuela has a truly unique way of helping you to notice all those mental goings-on, gently but deeply. It's both her way of speaking, pacing, and the content of her meditations that makes her guidance so effective. It's not often that I find myself both extremely internally aware and utterly soothed during guided meditation. And yet she's able to create precisely that experience.“

    – Ariele G.
