Meet Nadja

 

Welcome to my journey

The Story Behind the Practice 

 

Nadja is a passionate and experienced holistic wellness practitioner, blending her work as an Integrated Bodywork Therapist, Yin Yoga teacher, and Holistic TCM Practitioner.

She’s a longtime San Francisco Bay Area resident, deeply connected to the diverse and health-conscious community, which continues to shape and inspire her work.

Her path into holistic healing started with her own yoga journey. As a dedicated student, she quickly realized this work was her true calling. She was drawn to Yin Yoga for its deeper, therapeutic benefits and discovered it was a powerful way to help students release tension, build awareness, and find a sense of calm from within.

 

Evolving Wellness

Nadja is engaged in Doctoral research on focus on women’s health through Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), reflecting her deep commitment to ongoing learning and growth.

Drawing from the principles of Daoism, TCM and acupuncture, she helps clients restore balance by clearing energetic blockages and restoring the natural flow of energy through the body’s meridians.

I have been attending Nadja’s classes for about a year now, and I love them. I started yoga again (after many years of not practicing) due to some longstanding aches and pains I just couldn’t get to go away, and I feel so much better when I’m able to make it to her classes. She

I started doing Yoga for the first time last year by going to Nadja’s Vinyasa yoga classes. She made sure that the new people are not intimated by all the fancy moves and allowed us to build our own strength and move at a path that is comfortable to us. I look forward going to

Balanced, challenging, motivating and playful: these are all words that describe Nadja’s classes.

I’ve been doing Yoga with Nadja for one year already. Her positive aura surrounds and calms you as she gently walks you through the class, and she has this special way of making you believe in yourself.

She makes her self available for questions and discussions about your practice outside of class or 1-1 time. She has

I love Nadja’s Yin Yoga classes! I’ve been going to her classes twice a week for about 6 months, and I feel so good after each class. She’s inspired me to commit to Yin Yoga as a regular part of my weekly practice. I highly recommend her!
