Testimonial
This course came into my life at a crossroads,
and I am deeply grateful for the experience.
I could truly feel how much thought, care, and effort went into creating it. I loved how Fanny shared not only her knowledge, but also her poetry, her authenticity, and her heart.
She created a space where we all felt safe enough to be vulnerable, connect, and learn from one another.
I learned so much about Yin Yoga, anatomy, fascia, and Chinese medicine, but perhaps even more importantly, I learned a lot about myself. This experience planted a seed that I hope to continue nurturing so that it can grow, bear fruit, and be shared with others while enriching my own life as well.
Thank you for such a beautiful and transformative journey.

About Fanny Akasha
Fanny is a yoga teacher based in Berlin, offering Yin Yoga, Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, and Sound Bath sessions.
Her teaching is rooted in presence, nervous system awareness, and the art of slowing down.
Drawing from studies in Yin, Ayurveda, TCM, fascia, and trauma-informed approaches, she guides practices that emphasize feeling over performing, creating spaces for rest, reconnection, and self-regulation.
With simplicity and care, Fanny invites students to explore movement and stillness as pathways to feeling more at home in their bodies and more at peace within themselves.
