Seasonal Yoga & Ayurveda for Energy & Ease

Be Calm. Be Energised. Be You.

Feel better every season with simple Yoga and Ayurveda routines.

Hi, I’m Katja! For over 25 years, I’ve helped busy working mums reduce stress and reconnect with their confidence through the timeless wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda. My approach is gentle, seasonal, and deeply nourishing—think warming meals instead of cold salads, grounding rituals instead of strict routines.

Whether you join me in person for yoga in the Ickenham and Uxbridge area, or online through my Ayurveda courses and coaching, you’ll be guided to feel calm, energised, and more like yourself again. No drastic overhauls—just a few mindful moments each day to lift your energy, support your hormones, sleep, and bring balance back to your body and mind.

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.
