Josefin Söderby
Meet our co-founder and headteacher Josefin, a devoted yogini whose transformative journey into yoga began in 2012 during the intense days of university life. Yoga became her sanctuary, offering solace and grounding amid the stress. On the mat, she discovered a profound connection to presence, body awareness, and emotions.
As an RYT500 yoga teacher with expertise in vinyasa, ashtanga, hatha, yin, and bhakti yoga, Josefin's journey expanded in 2018 with the introduction to somatics. Since then, she has delved into various somatic practices, teaching them in classes and facilitating women's circles.
Exploring the essence of the body from a somatic perspective—through dance, movement, touch, meditation, and inner connection—has become a daily journey for Josefin. Her story is one of continual growth, each day unraveling deeper layers of the body's wisdom. Join Josefin in embracing this magical journey of self-discovery and connection.
Vera Rother
Since 2015 Vera has been self-employed as a yoga teacher, bodyworker and psycho-somatic counselor, which can be wonderfully combined with her wanderlust. Berlin, Tulum, Morocco and Bali gave Vera the exciting opportunity to work for retreat centers and hotels like the Soho House, Ritz Carlton and Hyatt.
Vera's special blend of dynamic fascia release, Yin Yoga, Somatic Experience and the Myofascial Release Balls has filled classes around the globe.
Her personal healing journey is going on for over 15 years, receiving countless hours of intense somatic therapy sessions, High priest water ceremonies, family constellation - you name it. She tried almost everything.
Since she went through her own research and study to help herself, she became an instrinsically motivated expert on anxiety disorders as well as childhood/attachment trauma that leads to runner-chaser dynamics, co-dependency, trauma bonds and physical health issues.
Her work focuses on somatic experiencing, reparenting, nervoussystem regulation, emotional release and shadow integration.
Personal Note: After over 15 years of trying a mix of different spiritual believe systems (spoiler: that doesn't work well ;), Vera finally had an incredible encounter which lead to her full devotion to the ONE god. One night she prayed to have her hate and anger transformed into love. The next day (and weeks) she experienced a DIRECT way to god's grace, which was immediatly felt physically and also manifested in all areas of life. If you are interested to learn more, please don't hesitate to contact her directly. She loves to share about this topic (free of charge).
