BARBORA WALTER


I believe in the power of practice.

My journey began with studies of cultural anthropology, driven by a curiosity about holistic healing practices from around the world. In 2015 I first encountered the teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, which sparked a deep connection to yoga. What began as a simple asana practice has gradually woven itself into the fabric of my daily life, helping me find a better balance in body, mind, and spirit. In 2019 I felt drawn to India, where I had the opportunity to further my ashtanga vinyāsa studies at the KPJAYI Institute in Mysore with Saraswathi Jois.

Upon returning to Europe, I embarked on a 200-hour teacher training in Vinyāsa Yoga with the Prague Yoga Collective which deepened my understanding of anatomy and correct form, offering me a more nuanced perspective on how the body moves and heals through yoga.

Becoming a mother shortly after brought a new depth to my practice, guiding me towards the therapeutic wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda. This shift led me to restorative yoga, yin yoga and finally, to the Svastha Yoga Therapy Programme, where I continue to learn under the guidance of the Mohan family. Through this ongoing journey, I hope to support others in their well-being, sharing the tools that yoga so generously offers.

Beyond my love for yoga, I find great joy in organising events focused on mental health and well-being. My work as an anthropologist has also been intertwined with mental health research, particularly in exploring topics like the role of use of altered states of consciousness and entheogenic substances in self-discovery and healing. In individual yoga therapy classes I particularly like to guide medical cannabis patients on their journey to recovery.

I’m looking forward to practicing together, and I hope we can create a space where yoga becomes a gentle guide on your own journey toward well-being and inner peace.
