Feel. Understand. Live.

The NOVA way

Your body isn’t working against you.

Most of us push through — stiff shoulders, tight backs, shallow breath, low energy. At NOVA we take a different route, in three simple steps:

Feel

Slow down and notice what’s actually there — tension, breath, holding patterns. Gentle movement and breathwork that settle your nervous system.

Understand

Know what’s going on in there. Every class explains the why: what a pose does to your fascia, your vagus nerve, your stress response. Science, not mystery.

Live

Your body stops being the enemy and becomes a friend. Strength and softness grow together — and often, so does everything else: sleep, energy, mood, life.

Work with me one-to-one

Two paths, one starting point.

Some things need more than a class. One-to-one work at NOVA takes two shapes. Both begin with a free 20-minute conversation, and we decide together which one fits.

When something hurts

Yoga Therapy

Trauma-sensitive, nervous-system-based one-to-one work for anxiety, exhaustion, low mood, stress that has settled into the body, or the long tail of difficult times. We start with where your body is, and we go gently. Breath, movement, Yin, Yoga Nidra and body mapping, always explained, never forced.

When something wants to grow

Yoga Coaching

For clarity, confidence and change, without a diagnosis and without a problem to fix. Mindfulness-based coaching with the body in the room: grounding, reflection, the postures as mirrors, and good questions. For the quiet "something is not right" that has no name yet.

The NOVA Compass

Nine gentle questions, two minutes, just for you. At the end you’ll see where the shoe pinches most, and what at NOVA might help. If one-to-one work looks right, four more questions help us find which path. Nothing is saved; your answers stay yours.

Behind NOVA

Hi, I’m Nicole.

NicoleNicole smiling at sunset

For eight years I was a teacher in Berlin — head of department, ten-hour days, running on borrowed energy. My body sent the bill. Learning to listen to it changed everything, and NOVA is that change turned into a place.

I teach yoga and functional movement the way I wish someone had taught me: warmly, in small groups, and always explaining what’s actually happening in your body — nervous system, fascia, breath. I lift weights and I love Yin. Both belong here.

Alongside teaching, I work one-to-one as a yoga therapist and mindfulness coach, and I am completing my psychotherapy training in Germany, because sometimes the body is the door, and what’s behind it deserves good company too.
