Our Team
Meet the people behind Santosha Yoga Studio.
Mika
Co-founder
Yoga Teacher (EN/JP)
Mika is from Japan. She has been teaching since 2007. She always feels that teaching is learning. She would like her students to explore, release, experience inner and outer transformation–and have fun. She aims to share the importance of connecting the stillness inside ourselves, of continual challenges and of observing to one’s own body-mind state as growth and transformation.

Yuri
Yoga Teacher (DE/EN)
Ich unterrichte Yoga und Pilates. Ich habe Yoga angefangen, weil ich früher wegen meinem Bürojob unter schwere Kopf-, Nacken- und Schulterschmerzen gelitten habe. Durch Yoga habe ich gemerkt, dass meine Schmerzen weggegangen sind und dass ich mich körperlich und geistig besser gefühlt habe. Diese Erfahrung hat mich inspiriert, Yogalehrerin zu werden.
Seit einigen Jahren praktiziere ich auch Pilates. Yoga und Pilates sind ähnlich, aber haben verschiedene Wirkungen. Regelmäßige Übung von Yoga und Pilates ermöglicht es uns, unsere Körper und Muskeln zu verstärken und unseren Geist zu beruhigen.
Mein Ziel als Yoga- und Pilateslehrerin ist es, Menschen dabei zu helfen, ein weniger stressiges Leben zu führen und es mit mehr Freude zu genießen. Jeder und Jede ist herzlich willkommen!
Solveig Linn
Yoga Teacher (EN/DE)
Solveig Linn found yoga to be the first movement class she ever participated in which was all about appreciating and celebrating your own body, without any specific goals or the notion of competition. Instead, everyone simply joins in together.
That made her fall in love with yoga so much that she wanted to deepen her knowledge, therefore she took part in her first 200h yoga teacher training in India in March 2019. Without necessarily planning on teaching yoga, she enjoyed the process of teaching so much that she started straight away after coming back to Berlin.
In 2021 she took part in a 300h teacher training. Yoga is a journey and Solveig Linn is excited to keep learning with the people participating in her classes.
Henna
Yoga Teacher (EN)
Henna has been fascinated by yoga for over 15 years, and has been to many places to learn and experience it. In 2014, she relocated to Berlin from Korea and it was here that she developed a connection to the power of yoga in healing the mind and empowering life. In wanting to share the benefits of yoga with others, she decided to become a yoga teacher and is now eager to have you join her on her adventure.
