Energise with Seasonal Yoga & Ayurveda Practices

Be energised. Be calm.

Beat Stress and Overwhelm through Seasonal Food and Yoga.

Hi, I’m Katja! For over 25 years, I’ve helped busy working mums overcome stress and lack of confidence by integrating simple Yoga and Ayurveda routines into their daily lives. I offer in-person yoga classes in the Ickenham and Uxbridge area, alongside online Ayurveda courses and coaching to support your health wherever you are. You don’t need drastic changes—just a few minutes a day can transform your health and well-being from the inside out.

Does this sound familiar?
👉 You’re juggling career and family, but instead of feeling energised and calm, you’re constantly stressed.
👉 You feel heavy, bloated, and exhausted, too tired to exercise or even decide what to eat.
👉 You snap at your kids and partner, then feel guilty and frustrated.

The good news? Ayurveda & Yoga offer simple, time-tested routines that fit your life—so you can finally feel lighter, calmer, and more in control.

“Katja is an amazing yoga instructor. She is intuitive, creative and very friendly. I highly recommend her!”
