What People Are Saying
“I took online classes with Kirthana for over a year and I can not recommend her highly enough. She is warm, encouraging, and a very effective teacher. Without even realising it, I built considerable strength and flexibility during the course of a year. It also helps a great deal that she has a calming and cheerful personality. Overall, she really is a great guide and will help you along on your yoga journey from wherever you begin.”

“6 months ago I started practicing yoga with Kirthana, and I enjoyed it from the first minute. The times I tried yoga before I didn’t like it very much, because it was always following a very strict procedure. But the kind of yoga that she guides allows more freedom to explore, which I like a lot.”
— Regine Heiber
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Kirthana as my yoga teacher, and I can honestly say she's the best yoga instructor I've encountered. Every class feels like a genuine connection rather than just a lesson - she brings a calm, grounding presence that puts you at ease from the moment you walk in. She is sensitive to each student’s needs, deeply professional, and it’s clear how passionate she is about her craft. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality yoga experience.”
— Daria Bitsiuk
“Kirthana is a wonderful guide. Her yoga flows are very complete, sometimes with dynamism, sometimes with relaxing moments, so you never get bored. Kirthana has a soft and pleasant voice, which helps to relax and feel good. She is available, interested, attentive to our desires and potential problems. Practicing with her is a real pleasure.”

“I’ve never been a huge fan of yoga practice. However, during the corona quarantine I discovered yoga with Kirthana and it became a daily “island” of both calm and energy for me. The practice helped a lot in staying positive and maintaining good vibes in these unsettling times.
Kirthana’s “teaching” style is one of a kind and with her everything becomes super easy - even backbends!”
— Marie Heiber
“I have been attending Kirthana’s yoga classes for more than four years, and I have always found them to be welcoming, thoughtful, and inclusive of all experience levels. Kirthana offers a range of variations and options throughout her classes, making the practice accessible and adaptable for different physical abilities and levels of experience. She has a calm and soothing presence, which creates a supportive environment and allows you to feel fully immersed in the practice from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Kirthana as a yoga teacher to anyone, whether they are completely new to yoga or already have an advanced practice!”
— Iulia Zolotcov
“I just love to work with Kirthana - I always feel very relaxed, grounded and filled with positive energy after the sessions. She has a great philosophy and inspires me to challenge myself and at the same time to appreciate everything just as it is right now. Every time, I‘m learning a bit more about how to be gentle with myself and to go at my own pace, which does not only apply to my yoga practice, but also to life in general!”
— Jenny Usinger
“Kirthana’s amazing yoga classes helped me a lot in getting over the stress that we have all been going through during the pandemic. More importantly, I started feeling healthier and more flexible in my body!”
— Yasmin Allawi
“I first attended one of Kirthana’s yoga classes a few years ago and I have been going back ever since. I found an instant connection with her style and her classes have taught me so much about moving in a mindful way without pushing or forcing. Her guidance has shifted my mindset towards other areas of my life off the mat and I am so grateful to have her as a teacher. She always makes everyone feel welcome, regardless of age or ability, and I cannot recommend her classes enough.”
