About Yoga in English

Hi, I’m Anya! I run Yoga in English Berlin.

Why the simple name? Well, I started one of the first ever English-language classes in Berlin back in 2009. So that’s what I wrote on the flyers ;) and the name stuck. I’ve been teaching here ever since.

I love the aliveness that yoga re-awakens in me; its ability time and time again to bring me back home to myself. Back to what feels essential. In both its beautiful teachings and on-the-mat āsana, I love the reminder that yoga seems to give me that maybe things are ok after all…

The style of yoga I teach is meditative flow with a focus on embodied presence, breath & awareness.

You’ll find a friendly, pressure-free, down-to-earth whilst meaningful approach in my classes. All levels of experience are welcome and you’re always free (/encouraged!) to rest and show up however you’re feeling. There’s no way you need to look, dress or be.

I’d say my classes are simple & powerful, with clear guidance and inspiration from yogic philosophy as well as plenty of valuable quiet moments for your own experience of yoga to unfold.

I run teacher trainings, retreats, courses on meditation & yoga philosophy, private and workplace classes as well as mentorships for teachers.

Hope to see you for a class or retreat - meet me by trying a class in my video library, exploring the site or writing to say hi

Listen to my free guided meditations on Insight Timer & many more in the video library

Anya has a beautiful way of teaching: sincere, clear, spiritual and mindfully concise
— Jon Meston, Founder of H2O Yoga Indonesia
Without a doubt the best vinyasa classes I’ve had in the city.
With an almost omnipresence in the studio, Anya makes a strong connection with the room and evokes a powerful energy within the room. The ebb and flow reverberates in the psyche long after you’ve left her class

The teachers here are amazing! They not only give incredibly relaxing and engaging physical classes, but also have a deep understanding of the philosophy and history of yoga.
— Rosa Lynley
The ‘Yoga Essentials’ course changed my life.
Anya introduces the different elements of yoga - beyond the physical, but the physical too! - in a really accessible, personal, and fun way.
I really cannot recommend her teaching more highly.
Thank you!

The classes are a wonderful blend of meditation and asana in a calm, lovely space. They always leave me relaxed and recharged
