Being

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience with Kotte! Her class left me feeling refreshed, centered, and at peace. What truly sets her apart is the amazing energy she brings to each session. There's a palpable sense of spiritual calmness that permeates the entire class, creating a deeply nurturing environment for practice. Kotte's soothing voice is like a gentle guide, leading you through each pose with clarity and encouragement. It's evident that she's not just teaching yoga, but sharing a holistic approach to well-being. The way she seamlessly blends physical postures with mindfulness techniques creates a truly transformative experience. I left the class feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also mentally and emotionally balanced. Her teaching style is a perfect blend of challenge and support, making the class suitable for practitioners of all levels. If you're looking for a yoga experience that nourishes both body and soul, I cannot recommend this teacher highly enough. Kotte has a true gift for creating a space of serenity and growth. Camila :)

Fantastic experience: The best yoga studio ever! If you are looking for an atypical yoga class you found it, you never get bored with Kotte, she is a super fun person as a good Latin American she is not only fun, her heart is huge, she is a beautiful human being and to complete an excellent yoga teacher, she is committed to improve everyone practice, she doesn’t only demonstrate poses and we copy, she adjusts everyone poses and persist in helping us to reach our best. And I love taking my daughter to the kids monthly yoga classes.

Fantastic experience: Kotte’s studio is warm and inviting, just like her! While traveling with my family I needed a bit of “me time” and ended up getting so much more.
