Welcome to My Yoga Sanctuary: A Place for Wellness and Transformation
Hello and welcome! I'm Nicola, the founder of this yoga studio, which is much more than just a business—it's my dream realized, my sacred space, and in many ways, my third "child." 😊 When you step into our studio, my hope is that you'll immediately feel the love, joy, and positive energy that flow through every corner.
I’m genuinely excited to welcome you, and I can’t wait to meet you in person!
About Me
As a passionate Purna Yoga instructor, my mission is to help people unlock their true potential and enrich their lives through yoga. I'm dedicated to training future yoga teachers, guiding them to inspire their students to live their yoga daily. I also specialize in pregnancy yoga and natural childbirth, helping mothers on their unique journeys.
Yoga: My Life's Work and Calling
Yoga is more than a profession to me—it’s the core of who I am. It has been my guide through life’s challenges and has given me a deep sense of purpose and clarity about what truly matters. The practice has grounded me, offering fulfillment beyond words.
Why Purna Yoga?
Purna Yoga resonates deeply with me because it provides practical wisdom for living a meaningful, joyful life. Yoga has always given me a sense of "why," but Purna Yoga also gave me the tools—the "how"—to live it fully. I’m excited to share these transformative practices with you, empowering you to live a life filled with peace and happiness.
I Believe in You
I truly believe in your potential to live the life you’ve always dreamed of, and I’m convinced that Purna Yoga can help unlock that possibility. Together, we’ll strengthen your body, open your heart, and uplift your spirit. You deserve to live with joy and ease, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My Journey
If you're curious about how my path led me here, here's a glimpse into my story:
👉 I grew up in the Austrian Alps, often feeling a sense of longing for something more.
👉 In 1994, I embarked on a global journey, traveling to places like Australia, South America, Africa, and Asia, searching for my true path.
👉 In 2001, I discovered yoga at a spiritual center in Guatemala, and it became my grounding force as I continued my travels.
👉 In 2003-04, I completed my first yoga teacher training in Barcelona, a city that shaped my destiny in many ways. It was there that I met my Finnish husband. 😉
👉 In 2007, during my first pregnancy, I discovered prenatal yoga and became fascinated by the power of childbirth.
👉 By 2009, I earned my certification in Perinatal Yoga after training under Francoise Freedman at Birthlight, marking a turning point in my journey.
👉 Our family relocated to Helsinki, and in 2010, after welcoming my second child, I found a home at Purna Yoga Helsinki—a serene studio where I felt truly at peace.
👉 In 2012, I began teaching prenatal yoga and completed my 200-hour teacher training with Drew Scallop and Tove Palmgren. That same year, I met Aadil Palkhivala, the visionary behind Purna Yoga, and my path became even clearer.
👉 Under Aadil’s guidance, I completed my 500-hour Purna Yoga training in Helsinki, a life-changing experience that deepened my understanding and practice.
👉 In 2017, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by taking over the studio, making it my own.
👉Since 2020, I’ve had the honor of leading our 200-hour Purna Yoga teacher training program, helping others realize their own dreams as teachers.
Today, I know my journey has only just begun, and I’m eager for all the possibilities that lie ahead.
A Commitment to Lifelong Learning
Years of training, teaching, and running this studio have taught me one invaluable lesson: “The journey never ends.” I am constantly inspired by a desire to learn and to give back, and I remain deeply grateful to the mentors who have shaped my path, including Tove Palmgren, Aadil Palkhivala, and Savitri, among others.
I can’t wait to continue this incredible journey with you. Namaste,
Nicola
