English Yoga Berlin - Alexander Technique

Fantastische Erfahrung: The Presence Retreat was one of the best things that ever happened to me. From the very first moment, Pinelopi’s calm presence, deep body–mind expertise, and gentle voice eased my anxiety and quieted my racing thoughts. Since then, I’ve been joining the weekly English yoga class, which brings not only safety and grounding, but also a rare sense of community.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Best place, best classes! I loved the Yoga and Alexander Technique combo.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I’ve been seeing Pinelopi for Alexander Technique sessions for several months, and i really learn a lot each time. She creates a really relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and I’ve become much more aware of how I move and use my body. It’s helped with some back and neck pain issues I was dealing with. Highly recommend!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I’ve been attending various yoga and meditation courses at EYB, and I truly appreciate Pinelopi and her Alexander Technique-infused yoga teaching. Her approach has consistently helped me refine and deepen my own practice. Recently, I participated in her Resourcing course, which explored the universal nature of the nervous system while honoring our deeply personal responses to fight, flight, and freeze. Her classes are always guided by mindful care, creating a space for both personal and spiritual growth. EYB is more than just a yoga studio—it’s a true community of care, offering a welcoming and supportive environment for self-exploration and healing. Highly recommend!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had the pleasure of taking individual classes with Pinelopi where we focused on meditation and the basics of hatha yoga. Pinelopi is such an wonderfully kind and intuitive teacher, and I always felt comfortable asking her for further explanations. Many of the things we touched on are ideas I now use in my practice every day. Although I have now left Berlin, I know that I will continue learning from her from afar and whenever I am in town :)

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have attended both private and group classes of the Alexander Techniques with Pinelopi and I have been amazed, again and again, about the benefits and the power of the Alexander Technique principles. In private classes we learn to recognise some of our habits while standing, sitting down, standing up, walking or even talking. We pause and then we redirect with thoughts some parts of the body in order to find what is called a position of mechanical advantage and in order to release tensions in the body. In the group classes we consolidate all this and apply the principles to yoga posses that can hurt or can be uncomfortable after a while. I recommend a combination of private and group classes. While we all are similar, our bodies are unique and while some habits are easier to recognise during fun group games, others need more time and an intimate and confident space a private class offers. Pinelopi is very dedicated to her work and her love for the wonders of the body is communicative. Thanks to her and the Alexander Techniques, my long-lasting neck pain is gone. When it wants to show up again, I quickly get rid of it by recognising, pausing and redirecting. I learnt and unlearnt a lot about my bodily habits. I enjoy a lot playing with the principles throughout the day. I am definitely living with less tensions in the body and day after day I discover the person I am underneath these layers of holds and body tensions.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I found English Yoga Berlin by chance since it was close by my old apartment, and even when I moved far away, I never stopped coming. The teaching, the atmosphere, the welcoming nature of the group and the community built aound it turned it to my happy place, my peaceful place and my place to be. Highly recommended to anyone - yogis or not.

Fantastische Erfahrung: A beautiful place to practice hata yoga in presence or online - I've been practicing online for the past 3 years and enjoyed every moment of it. Pinelopi is a very kind, experienced and dedicated teacher, providing detailed instructions and explanations, and introducing some very interesting somatic elements from her Alexander practice. The well balanced 90 mn hybrid class provides a generous timeframe for Pranayama, asanas and meditation, and a recording of each class is available in case attending live isn't possible. I've been practicing yoga for many years, and this is probably the best class I ever attended.

Fantastische Erfahrung: In my humble opinion about the place and specially the Alexander technique is that it is a game changer. It is like i came to the session with a wooden body and left as a real boy.. amazing experience!

Fantastische Erfahrung: After experiencing the incredible benefits of Pinelopi's Alexander Technique in just 10 sessions, I was compelled to write a review. Now, with even more time passed, I am still in awe and feel the need to share my continued progress. Throughout my day, I find myself naturally and effortlessly slipping into the semi-supine pose whenever I am in pain. My body remembers Pinelopi's guidance, and I am able to melt into the floor, releasing the tension that previously plagued me. However, something even more incredible happened recently that left me speechless. While running to catch a bus, my body tensed up and began hurting all over. Yet, with Pinelopi's teachings in my mind, I gently sent notes to my body, just like I do when finding a balanced standing pose. To my surprise, the pain dissolved MID-RUN. The fact that Pinelopi's guidance allowed me to overcome pain and discomfort in a high-stress situation almost feels like something out of science fiction. But it's not - it's the real and transformative power of Pinelopi's Alexander Technique. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this amazing teacher to anyone seeking to enhance their physical well-being and resolve pain issues.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Really great classes, teacher, atmosphere. The studio is in an old cinema for kids (kinder kino) and the ceiling is blue like the sky and has silver stars on it, which is lovely to watch. The location is quiet and I always leave immensely relaxed, even if my poor frail body is sometimes put through the ringer. Very recommend!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Expert yet humble instruction, classes here are so lovingly given. I learn so much every time I come in or take an online class. The values and principals of accessibility are also so refreshing in the space of trendy yoga. These ladies are the real deal! ‍♀️

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have been practicing Yoga for quite a few years now but stopped during the pandemic in 2020. Then I was looking for a new place and teacher to practice and what can I say, I'm so happy I've found Pinelopi's course in Kreuzberg. Practicing with her is not about building muscles and looking good on instagram (although you get that too actually;). You go in and come out changed in a healthy and good way. Lovely people in the course, too!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Pinelopi is the best teacher one can have. Every class with her is a unique experience. After every lesson I feel relief, physical and mental. Words are not enough to describe her kindness and charisma!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Sehr nette Leute.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I completed the chakra workshop end of last year and the experience was transformational. Whether you are completely new to yoga or done it for many years, this is your place.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have done lots of kinds of yoga in many different places in Berlin around the world, because I travel a lot. But since I discovered Penelope in the English Yoga Berlin, I felt that this is one of the most sincere, deep and holistic yoga practice I have had and that this is what I was looking for. So, I am going there for several years now and I keep learning this way. I am very grateful for this!

Fantastische Erfahrung: This is a wonderful place for yoga and Pinelopi is the nicest and most attentive yoga teacher I have had. With her, it doesn't feel like "sports" as some yoga classes do, but it's really about relaxing, becoming more attentive of your body, strengthening your body and minding your limits, all at once.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Just great. Beautiful, welcoming, quiet space, (complete with singing birds, no city noise despite being extremely centrally located- so nice)! More importantly, the teacher had a well-researched and deep but very natural and warm teaching style. The other class members were welcoming. All in all, a great place to do yoga!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I've attended to the beginners course in English Yoga Berlin and enjoyed my time in this small and relaxing place. Our teacher Penelope was very helpfull and accurate from the beginning. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Pedro è un insegnante preparato, e insegna con grande dedizione. Consiglio di provare questo Yoga Studio è tra i piu' autentici della citta'. Pedro is a lovely and dedicated yoga teacher, you should try this yoga studio is really one of the best yoga studio that i found in Berlin

Fantastische Erfahrung: I've been practicisng yoga for some years now and, due to my pseudo-nomad lifestyle, I've come into contact with several studios, teachers, etc. English Yoga Berlin is one of the best places to practice yoga I've encountered so far. The place is wonderful, a beautiful converted children's cinema in the backyard of a Hausprojekt next to Görlitzerpark; a very central but also very quiet spot. The teachers are supernice and very competent, adaptable to each class's needs, and work organized as a cooperative, which for me personally is a plus factor. You can see that they really believe in what they are doing. I also love the variety of classes offered (Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, Hatha in spanish... plus interesting thematic workshops from time to time!) and the community class on friday by donation. All in all, highly recommendable! p.d Check out their webpage if you can, they post very interesting articles!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have been to a couple of classes at English Yoga Berlin and it was really something special for me! the environment was really relaxing and nice. I personally liked the kind of yoga they practice there and i just love that they use the tibetan bowls for the relaxations they do at the end of the classes. People were super nice, the environment was great and the place itself seems to be filled with incredibly nice energy and relaxing vibes! I definitely recommend English Yoga Berlin as the best place for discovering and practicing Yoga! :)

Fantastische Erfahrung: I visited Berlin for 2 weeks last summer and had a blast. I found this amazing little collective studio with lots of different types of yoga. The teachers were all really good and friendly. I didn't want to leave! When I go back to Berlin, I will definitely check this place out again.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Wonderful yoga classes. Such helpful, positive and encouraging teachers that practising yoga becomes an absolute joy.
