holistic, wise bodywork & practices of connection

Holistic Bodywork & Yoga informed by somatic schools

Become aware of unconscious patterns that may be playing out in your life and cause suffering. The work of Holistic Bodywork reveals experiential possibilities for transformation that only talking about it cannot create. Through touch, breath and conversation we can get out of limiting patterns/old protection strategies hence unfolding and living our individual qualities and choices of here and now. The work can be used for several layers of intention such as physical conditions, emotional or mental issues as well as practical projects.

Yoga informed by somatic schools is actually nothing new, but a way back to to remember that yoga has always been deeply somatic. It offers us a practices to relate to the the body, to navigate our incarnation (Spirit in flesh). Somatics are more recent practices based on timely research and can be woven into a classic yoga practice to open spaces of self-recognition and exploration as opposed to fulfilling instructions, thus opening to new landscapes, a felt sense of sovereignty and allowing us to feel our huge wide hearts.

What clients have to say about Holistic Bodywork with Jana:

“An Ideal companion to any psychotherapeutic modality - with Jana I could work on the physical body and then integrate this somatic experience into my psychological work - a total revelation!”

“I had no idea what limiting beliefs I had been holding in my body over the years of my life. I feel so relieved, free and empowered and more connected to life after working with Jana.”

”I worked with Jana after a surgery during my recovery process and I highly recommend her work to accompany any medical process to nourish and strengthen the body and reactivate its  healing capacity.”

“There’s no better way to integrate a plant medicine journey. Now I can see how to bring what I have learnt into manifestation of every day life.”

What clients have to say about Body-Mind Yoga with Jana:

“Finally I found a yoga teacher who understands me or how it feels to be in my body. Jana seems to read my questions and answers them before I can even ask by guiding my body into places of safety and well-being .”

“I love Jana's classes. It is contagious how much she loves life and yoga.”

What clients have to say about the Somatic Study Circle with Jana:

“We experienced complete surrender, expanded energy, and explored to be guided by our bodies. Jana created such a sacred space for us and showed us how to access the body and our own truth. I now feel a connection and trust into myself that I have never felt before."

My name is Jana. I am here to bring connection: Connection to breath and body, and relationship to the earth body. We live in a time now in which we understand that we don’t exist as individual, separate beings, but that we are bound to this vast web of life. If you are interested in discovering how this universe inside and outside plays, come and walk with me for a bit… We touch the body with presence and love, and together, we listen to the stories of life. And then we see which places welcome support to heal.

Let’s learn to navigate the wild waters of life together! I offer warm spaces to come together and guide us into the research of what it means to be a human at this time, remembering and accessing our wise bodies through yoga and somatic therapy, holistic bodywork, and ritual.

I currently offer 1:1 holistic bodywork sessions and weekly yoga classes in Aljezur, Portugal and at select dates in Berlin. For a deep healing journey I recommend to join one of my 5-day Transformative Bodywork Retreats in Portugal or Poland. I also guide a yearly online program of somatic study and embodiment mentorship (2025/26 program is now full). For shorter retreats, you can join me in Brandenburg for weekend retreats.
