More about me

Yoga & Bodywork

Yoga & Bodywork

Yoga and Bodywork enrich my own life and are what I want to share with others. Here you can find out more about it.

Forrest Yoga

The name Forrest Yoga goes back to the American Ana T. Forrest, who developed this yoga style. The basis is traditional yoga poses, which have been partially developed and adapted to our current living conditions. I am particularly impressed by the profound and transforming effect of this yoga style.

More on this

When I train students who want to teach Forrest Yoga, I want them to discard whatever is holding them back. Then they can discover what matters most to them and bring that forth as they learn to become healers and Yoga teachers.
Ana T. Forrest, Creatrix of Forrest Yoga

Yoga Classes & Events

I offer yoga in different contexts and teach both public and private classes. I do teach in German as well as in English.

Bodywork

Bodywork is in the widest sense related to massage. It's about liberating the body from tensions and blockages, but most importantly, (re)balancing body, mind and emotions.

More on this

Bodywork is a means of communicating with another being through the medium of Touch. Through Bodywork we listen and feel what is 'the truth' within the tissues as they present in a given moment.
Brian Campbell, Bodywork Yoga

I’m looking forward to get to know you

Yesterday I taught my first yoga class in the park

Yesterday I taught my first yoga class in the park! 😊 And there are many two-word combinations that come to my mind: So wonderful, so lovely, so heartwarming, happily reunited, definitely again! The weather was perfect and it was sooo nice to see people in person again, after seeing them on the screen or not at all for a while. So if it is warm enough and dry outside, we’ll be back! 🌳🌞 Classes in the park are happening through @vorspiel_ssl_berlin on Wednesdays and Fridays (if the weather allows – otherwise online via zoom) 🙏

Core. Strength. Balance. Breath. All of it was felt in that moment. And my spirit was happy in this greenery. Lushness in the best sense. Have a great start to the weekend full nourishing moments! 🌿
My yoga classes are still online: You can join me via Zoom on Mondays (link on my website or dm me), Tuesdays (via @evolveyoga.de ), Wednesdays and Fridays (via @vorspiel_ssl_berlin ). All in German, Mondays with some English if needed 🙏

Wheeeere is the camera??! : ) This happens when you are getting used to selfies and are trying to take a picture in a nice namaste pose – swipe to see my awesome first try (although I love the little planty coming trough the metal grid). This is definitely something I’ve learned over time – not taking myself too serious all the time. It’s actually so much fun and hilarious to look at all the picture fails that happened when I tried to take selfies in yoga poses so far… maybe I’ll make a whole series out of it. So in this sense: Look at your self, your path, your progressions and adjustments with compassion, love and: laughter! 😊

Putting oneself out there isn’t always easy. On

Putting oneself out there isn’t always easy. On the mat, on the screen, into the world. Being seen, with all you got or with what people perceive you have.
Looking at myself here, I might look a little serious in this picture. But I felt very peaceful. Out in nature. Wind, water… breathing on so many levels. Connecting with the world, but also within. It’s so important to connect to something that really nourishes us. In order to connect. On and off the mat, on and off the screen, with the world, ourselves and each other.
Wishing you a great day and am sending you loads of good energy this way!

Greeting and hugging an old and beloved friend. Definitely also a very important asana. I was allowed to travel again and spent last weekend at the Baltic Sea. I can't even describe on how many levels this place fills me. It brightens my spirit. I hope you're all doing well, finding moments here and there that brighten you, your spirit and soul! 🌈

For me, yoga is about connection. With myself and

For me, yoga is about connection. With myself and with others. For me, yoga practice is like a door - to what is in me, what is around me and also to the people I meet on the mat. On Sunday, May 17th 2020 from 10 to 12 a.m., I will again offer a yoga workshop for the queer elderly at @vorspiel_ssl_berlin to explore exactly this connection and make it tangible. This time online. Both beginners and advanced are welcome. It will be about getting to know yoga or deepening your own practice, getting to know your own body again and again, breath, strength, the space within yourself. Registration via yoga@vorspiel-berlin.de or directly through me. The workshop is again free of charge for the participants as it is funded by the Berlin Senate.

Kick off: From Monday morning on I start a new onl

Kick off: From Monday morning on I start a new online yoga class! Weekly from 8:30 to 9:45 am. 75 minutes of Forrest Yoga, partly Forrest inspired, to start the day and the new week! Cost: 9€ via PayPal to: annikabaacke01@gmail.com or by bank transfer if preferred. 9€ is my preliminary idea for this class, if you want to pay more, you are more than welcome, if you feel that you cannot afford this at the moment, pay an amount that is right for you at the moment. The most important is that we practice together! Please pay directly before or directly after the class. The class will be taught in German but I’m also happy to throw in some English, if needed. You need a mat, a block (or something similar to a block), a strap (or belt), and a rolled-up blanket / towel. Come into my living room via zoom and let's practice together! You can find the link for the class on my website (link in bio) or dm me, it will be accessible 15 minutes before the class starts. Looking forward to seeing you! 😊
