Welcome – I’m Thyra-Valeska
I guide people through Yoga, Qigong, and Somatic movement — gentle, mindful practices that build grounding, balance, and resilience in everyday life.
Having experienced hypermobility, neurodivergence, and periods of burnout myself, I understand how movement can sometimes feel uncomfortable, painful, or even intimidating — especially in fast-paced or performative spaces.
My approach offers an alternative: simple, mindful ways to reconnect with your body, calm the nervous system, and move in a way that feels safe and supportive — yet strength-building and gently challenging.
If you sometimes feel tense, tired, or out of balance, these practices can help you return to a sense of ease — gently and sustainably.
I teach both in-person classes in Ronda and the SerranÃa de Ronda (Andalusia, Spain) and online sessions for an international community.
A Different Way to Practice
Rather than pushing or performing, my classes focus on:
Relaxing the nervous system through slow, trauma-informed movement
Reconnecting with your body in a supportive and compassionate way
Building stability and strength without strain — especially for those with hypermobility
Finding inner steadiness to meet life’s changes with more calm and resilience
I weave together Eastern wisdoms (Yoga, Qigong, Daoist philosophy) with modern movement science (fascia, biomechanics, nervous system regulation). The result is a grounded, inclusive approach that meets you where you are — whether you join me locally in Andalusia or online from anywhere.
Why Practice With Me?
Because I’ve been there — and I know these tools work.
Irritability, overwhelm, and fatigue are not failures; they’re signals inviting you to slow down, restore balance, and reconnect.
Movement can be meditation.
Breath can be medicine.
Small, mindful shifts can create real change — in body, mind, and daily life.
