Marjaana Mäkelä
Hi, I’m Marjaana Mäkelä, a full-time yoga instructor based in Helsinki, Finland and Lesvos, Greece. My journey with yoga has been deeply enriching, with extensive training in styles like Purna Yoga and Yin/Yang Yoga. I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible teachers such as Angela Farmer and Aadil Palkhivala, whose wisdom continues to inspire my practice.
I bring a blend of traditions into my teaching, creating classes that are diverse, accessible, and welcoming to all levels. Alignment, safety and relaxation are at the heart of my approach, as I aim to help my students enhance their overall well-being through yoga.
When I’m not teaching in Helsinki, you’ll often find me hosting retreats in Greece, Madeira, and La Gomera. These retreats combine my passion for yoga with the beauty of nature, offering unforgettable experiences for growth and relaxation. I look forward to practicing with you!
