Shanti Yoga Berlin

Shantimitra ist eine wundervolle Yogalehrerin. Sie leitet einen mit viel Ruhe und Achtsamkeit durch die Stunde. Dabei ist sie stets darauf bedacht Körper und Geist miteinander zu verbinden. Abgerundet werden ihre Stunden durch das singen von Mantras die auf Ihrem Harmonium begleitet werden.

Shantimitra is hands down the best yoga instructor in Berlin, if you're looking for a work-in rather than a work-out. In her yoga classes, you will be able to connect with your inner self and cleanse yourself of negative thoughts and anxiety while embracing relaxation through breathing exercises, wonderful mantra chanting and asanas. It is extremely therapeutic and always the highlight of my week. I have not willingly missed a single week since I started going! Can only recommend

I can highly recommend Shantimitra as a yoga teacher for any level of experience. She is a devoted yogi and shares her knowledge with ease and care. The class is a holistic experience, not a workout. The asanas we perform are very simple but profound and after yoga nidra and mantra chanting, the relaxation you feel is blissful. This is the real deal - classical, integral yoga from India. If you're looking for the Westernized, Lululemon-workout style of yoga, this is not for you. Since starting the weekly Saturday classes last year I've developed my own daily yoga practice and have seen so many benefits in my life. Thank you Shantimitra!

I really love this yoga class because it is so different from what is usually taught. The teaching goes back to the roots of holistic yoga and focuses on all the different aspects of yoga. Shantimitra studied at the Bihar School of Yoga, and her teaching is inspired by the guidance of her Guru, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati. The Saturday class is for a small group of students only and is longer than usual, allowing us to delve into the depths of our practice. The classes emphasize not only the body but also the breath and meditation. Usually, at the end of the class, we chant a mantra, which is really beautiful. The effect of the class is a profound relaxation on all levels of the mind, body, and soul, and I finally feel that I am progressing in my yoga practice.

A nice intimate yoga studio off a main street in Kreuzberg. The studio is on the third floor of an old buidling in a courtyard. Make sure you close the door into the courtyard. The walk up the stairs is a nice warm up for class. Inside, the space is comfortable, but a little narrow. They offer mats for free as well as water. I felt very at home here, discovering the studio on ClassPass for a reasonable fee, only three credits for my first visit. This studio very much reminds me of Yoga at St. Marks Place, in the East Village in Manhattan, also a three-story walk up, also free mats and a small and crowded wooden studio, also very much a community vibe. Good vibes here! Thank you for hosting me.

Ania prepares this yoga class with lots of love and together with her knowledge and experience allows you to be able to be in touch with yourself giving your body, soul and mind the space needed to be present and connect with the inner self. It is a different yoga class which opens a new way of being. Totally recommended :)
