SAHA YOGA Shiatsu and Yoga in Leipzig

Fantastische Erfahrung: I've been practising VKM self practice classes with Danka for two months now. It is incredible to be with a teacher who takes such an individualistic approach to practice and offers many adjustments and modifications depending on issues I have been having with my body. For anyone who is looking for a reputable, knowledgeable teacher who understands the body and practice. I would always recommend Danka!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I just can recommend Shiatsu with Danka. It helped me to come down and to ground in troubled times. Danka is a warm- hearted and empathetic woman. Each meeting started with a cup of tea and a talk about how you feel and what you need at this moment. The massages did very well and I just could relax and release. Afterwards I felt more grounded and energized in a positive way. Thanks for that Danka!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I booked a private Shiatsu Massage Workshop with Danka for me and my partner for my partner‘s birthday. We did not really know what to expect but ended up with not only a full body Shiatsu Massage but also learning many techniques ourselves! We can now adapt certain techniques in our daily lives and can really recommend this experience with Danka! Also, receiving a Shiatsu Massage from Danka is always a great idea - for yourself or gifting it to others! Thank you!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Die Shiatsubehandlung bei Danka ist wundervoll, eine Vitalisierung für den ganzen Körper. Ein großartiges Weihnachtsgeschenk für jeden!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had a yoga retreat with Danka and Shiatsu in Tenerife. It was really special. It gave me a new perspective on yoga and I have already noticed changes in my body within the week. I like the energy and passion that Danka inspires me with. This makes me trust in this process of change. Thank you for this experience!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Danka is an extraordinary yoga teacher with a special gift for ones physical issues. I had an wonderful 1:1 teaching at her place and a great shiatsu massage after that. I would highly recommend her for every yoga student and also people who are looking for a relaxing and energetic massage.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had a shiatsu session with Danka and it was wonderful! At 8 months pregnant she could help me release back pain I had for weeks , I truly recommend her. She is so dedicated to yoga and shiatsu, it’s not so commun to find a practitioner with such an amount of experience. Thank you !!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have been trying many yoga studios in Leipzig in order to find a practice that resonates with me. Some months ago, I walked into Danka's Krama Yoga class, and I knew that this would be the practice to which I want to dedicate my time. The Krama Yoga sequences are very well thought out and surprise you with asanas and sequences that you probably have not encountered in the usual Vinyasa flow class. Danka is a highly dedicated teacher, evident from her 18 years of experience. I also generally like the crowd of people in classes; it feels very familiar.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Shiatsu with Danka is like coming home to yourself. Thank you for your energy!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Danka’s shiatsu session is a treatment for the body, mind, and soul. She supports the physical and emotional body in his healing process. While moving the body from the outside, she intuitively feels what is going on in the emotional body and supports its healing too. Energy blockages and tension are going to be released. Her Shiatsu session leads to inner and outer balance. Danka’s background as a yoga teacher is a huge benefit. Her shiatsu session is a unique combination influenced by her background as a yoga teacher and Tao shiatsu practitioner. In my experience, her therapeutic shiatsu massage is more powerful than a classical shiatsu treatment!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I‘m very happy and thankful Danka found her way to Leipzig. She is a great yoga teacher with helpful and profound insights in her Yoga classes and workshops. Her knowledge is impressive and goes beyond common yoga skills. I love her individual approach, her adjustments to any physical condition are so helpful. I can also highly recommend her Shiatsu Massages which helped me a lot with some pain issues. I also love her new workshop combining Moon Sequence & Sound Healing. Her advices and yoga adjustments helped me a lot during difficult times. Truly blessed, thank you lovely Danka

Fantastische Erfahrung: I went to the workshop "Power of healing touch" about partner yoga and shiatsu massage twice. The exercises are wonderful, you can really connect with your own body and your partner. Danka is a lovely person and very good teacher, she explains very precisely, and you can really sense her great expertise in yoga and shiatsu. I might go a third time :)

Fantastische Erfahrung: Danka is a really nice yoga teacher, who showed me how to practise asanas with respect for the body, how to move my practice on without pressure on myself and especially how to approach exercise in case of injury or any other reduced mobility. If you like dynamic style of yoga, be sure to try different VKM sequences with Danka, which help you develop your asana practice in many ways and as a bonus you will get a stable strong and flexible body… Thank you, Danka, for the therapeutic respectful and patient guidance on my yoga way...

Fantastische Erfahrung: The retreat on Tenerife with Danka was awesome. There is a big difference between coming to studio once or twice a week or practise every day for two times. Danka is a great teacher and her adjustments were just great!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had a really, really awsome retreat with Danka in a beautiful casa with lovely food and great yoga and workshops. Danka is a very attentive person wich teaches yoga so good. Thank you for this wonderful time on the island ❤

Fantastische Erfahrung: Danka is a extraordinary person, experienced yoga teacher and shiatsu magical therapist She can offer very individual approach and she's also having amazing sensitivity for the human body. If you're thinking about booking the yoga course, class, workshop or shiatsu massage with her - definitely do it! You can thank me later

Fantastische Erfahrung: At first, Danka has been my shiatsu therapist, opening up my body and relieving me from the pain of an unbalanced yoga practice where I was being too hard on myself, not listening to my limits. She took care and found the way to my heart. Her generosity, her presence, her energy fed me and inspired me. That's why when she launched the online classes during the lockdown, I knew it would help me get through this challenging time. The classes with Danka feel like a soft touch, a pause in the middle of the chaotic world where we can calm down, experiment, observe and focus on our well being while building strength and confidence. Even from far, she provides a safe space and with her interdisciplinary view and many tools, she guides us with her peaceful strength through the practice reminding us to take care of ourselves, to breathe and to watch our feelings and respect the state we are in as well as our day to day needs. She designs the sequences for every level and addresses different limitations, restrictions and plateau that we can meet in our practice. I always felt a great deal of benefits from it, the modifications and the mix of different types of yoga as well as her therapeutic and educational approach makes it useful, rich, surprising and very balanced. I am just really disappointed.. to live in a different country! :D

Fantastische Erfahrung: I really enjoy the progressive and therapeutic approach of Danka's classes and she does an amazing job at giving individual guidance, which is very rare skill and asset when teaching online! I also love to get to know the VKM system as someone who fundamentally practices Ashtanga and have developed injuries and stress since the pandemic, it opened me to new possibilities and gave me a lot of space. If you wish to deepen your practice, you are finding the right guide with Danka, who is a profoundly grounded and compassionate teacher, I highly recommend you the courses which allow to develop specific aspects in depth and progression along each session.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had two times Shiatsu treatment given by Danka. I tried many things to feel more alive, having more energy, releasing tense body. I was surprised how Dankas treatment affected my body. After 90 minutes - Energy was flowing through my body, I felt calm, content and had to laugh loudly - impulsively. A body reaction I never had before. I am happy that shiatsu with Danka works with me so well! I totally recommend it. Danka has a lot experience, she lives what she teaches & gives. Thank you! Wonderful work!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I regularly receive shiatsu by Danka and it is always wonderful! It helps me to deal better with painful periods and back stiffness. After a shiatsu session I feel refreshed, relaxed, balanced and more grounded. Danka knows a lot about TCM, Yoga, shiatsu and body work in general. She looks at your body in its entirety. I can recommand it to everyone who is looking for a shiatsu therapist with a lot of experience and empathy!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have been practicing with Danka for more than 3 years now. She is a very experienced and attentive yoga teacher and has recognized quite quickly where are my strengths and weaknesses in my practice. Together we developed a sequence of asanas tailored to my needs. My back pain has decreased significantly. I also can recommend her Shiatsu treatment, she very gently released my blockages so that I finally was free of pain. With a lot of empathy and patience she always motivates me to establish my own practice. I am so grateful that she is my yoga teacher.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I met Danka for the first time few years ago in Sydney, where she introduced me to my first ashtanga yoga classes. Under her detailed supervision and professional guidance, I quickly fell in love with the practice. She is determined, patient and firm and takes time to explain all asanas, and how our bodies should be feeling while practicing - so I feel guided, supported and safe everytime I practice with her. One of the best things that happened last year (surprisingly “thanks” to covid) is that we reconnected in the online space via regular weekly classes, and even though we are on different continents and time zones, the practice still feels very personal. Thanks Danka

Fantastische Erfahrung: Danka’s classes are amazing. I am very thankful to have her as a teacher. ☀️☀️
