Approaching two years of SVERA :’) 🌾
Thank you to all the sweeties who have came to our classes, workshops, events over the years and the wonderful teachers who hold down the space. We’re very grateful to be able to operate in the way we do and keep things small :3
Stay tuned for a little summer celebration of 2 years SVERI!

ISHTA 200h Yoga Teacher Training complete!! 😳😳
This weekend, I had the honour of watching 8 new teachers, give their first official class and finish their last weekend of yoga teacher training, and wowie I was blown away!! 😭😭😭
The last six months has been such a meaningful process to witness - watching these students grow into such thoughtful, distinct teachers 😌
Having such an intimate group was so precious as we really got to know everyone in all their uniqueness!!
There were lots of silly moments and laughter, but also complexity, tears, and a lot of nerdy learning :’)
It was my first time assisting a teacher training alongside my teacher Julie Blumenthal, who I did two of my previous trainings with, so it was so fun to teach the training that I took myself, about 6 years ago at the beginning of my teaching career.
Thank you to all who joined, each of you brought something so special to this group and made it what it was. Thank you for your trust and making it such a supportive and safe space for everyone to flourish, I can’t wait to see what you do next and the teachers you grow into <3
In my experience (& I know many others!) a training like this can be such a life changing process, in learning about yoga, you are learning about life & yourself, which can be challenging & painful to look in the mirror at times, but in the end, one of the most rewarding processes I have gone through, and to get to be a part of that for others, is so meaningful to me.
Xo, lots of love

Dear all - Next month I’m cohosting an upcoming event alongside @herbody.hermind@svera.studio 🩵
This event is a personal one for me as it is for those who have been touched by cancer.
When I was 19, I was diagnosed with melanoma. This was a shock at that age and shifted my life quite a bit. During & afterwards I lived in a bit of fear, and didn’t feel like I had a place to express this grief comfortably, without burdening others around me. Only until a few years later when I began my yoga practice, I was able to connect back into my body and not feel it was trying to harm me. From there things started to shift tremendously for me and it is ultimately what lead me to continue into training to become a yoga teacher myself.
Sometimes I can forget where the root of it began, so I’m very grateful to have met Farnaz & to collaborate on this event together.
If you or someone you know has had an encounter with cancer or has been close to someone who has, we would love for you to join this upcoming event at SVERA.
It will be a space to connect with others - tea - meditation - gong - shared conversation
Looking forward 🫶🏻
March 15th
14:00–16:00

We’re grateful to announce our upcoming gathering.
— Come As You Are —
March 15.
From 14-16 PM
@svera.studio
Ohmstraße 11, Berlin
A gentle women* centered gathering for those impacted by cancer whether personally, as a caregiver, or through someone you love.
Tea. Meditation. Breathwork. Restorative sound.
And space to share, if you choose.
Limited to 12 participants.
Reserve via link in bio.
Gabor Maté’s view that chronic stress and emotional suppression play a central role in cancer is powerful and resonates with many personal stories. His emphasis on compassion and emotional honesty has helped countless people make sense of suffering.
But when we look closely at the evidence, a different picture emerges, as shown in this post.
For the title of this post, we are grateful to be able to present a photo by Klaudia Lewi @dearklaude for and with Tara Community @tararetreats .
The image shown is part of her BODYTALK series. “BODYTALK translates the silent language of the body into a profound reflection of the self. The series uncovers our subtle attraction to natural objects, revealing the link between the physical world and inner perception.“
@dearklaude is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer who explores the psychological boundaries of space by examining the interplay between the body, objects, and their environment. Through her work, she highlights the unique essence of each subject, creating a “portrait of the psyche” that brings the surrounding space to life.
Emotional support is essential for persons with cancer and can directly affect the disease course, as shown in this post.
We are happy to announce a new and very careful format for persons with cancer by @herbody.hermind and @withsaura , starting at @svera.studio on March 15th, a space to share and reflect, created by two women that have been affected by cancer themselves.
How do you view the relationship between emotional life and physical illness?
We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
150hr apprenticeship complete 🤍
So grateful for these past months working closely with Christine. From shadowing, to hands-on assists, to teaching parts of class, to a full final class, it’s been incredible to witness how much your teaching evolved in such a short time.
Thank you Christine for your dedication, openness, and trust. I can’t wait to see how your teaching continues to grow :’)
Event this weekend! Saturday, August 30th 18:30-20:30 🪷
In collaboration with @amama.space & @har_studio I’ll be hosting a session introducing Kanna, a gentle plant extract with uplifting and euphoric effects. We’ll then move through a Hatha class, followed by a longer gong bath, and close with reintegration and tea.
Sign up via eversports & USC 🤍
