Hi, I’m Thyra-Valeska.

My movement journey began with yoga—until I lost my connection to movement entirely. It was Qigong that led me back to my body and opened the door to a new path.

Working in high-pressure environments and constantly pushing myself, I ignored my body’s signals until chronic pain, fatigue, and exhaustion made even simple tasks unbearable. Eventually, I could no longer practice yoga, and my body felt like it no longer belonged to me. Beyond the physical struggles, I lost faith in myself.

In my search for reconnection and recovery, I discovered Qigong. At first, it was a struggle—a struggle with myself. It was unlike anything I had known, yet it felt deeply intuitive. It offered gentleness where I had only known force, awareness where I had only known disconnect, and slowness where I had always rushed. Through this practice, I slowly rebuilt my strength, regained trust in my body, and relearned yoga with a newfound depth—one rooted in a deeper understanding of both traditions.

During this time, I was also diagnosed with Autism and hEDS, bringing long-sought clarity and self-understanding. Bit by bit, I began to trust myself again, yet it is still an ongoing process.

This experience led me to create Move in Serenity—a platform that offers Yoga, Qigong, and Somatic self-discovery, guiding others toward self-empowerment, nervous system regulation, and a deeper connection with their physical and emotional bodies.
