Yoga has been a part of my life ever since I moved to Berlin. My favorite studio here is Element Yoga, located where east meets west at Schlesisches Tor. Their rooms are on the 5th floor across from the FluxFM offices, which gives the experience a touch of urban flair. Element Yoga follows the Goldilocks principle, ensuring the concept neither too hip, nor too esoteric. Rather, this studio is intended for clever, warm-hearted people who value community and want to practice anatomically precise, “healthy” yoga. Three types of classes combining these elements are offered: Vinyasa for those who want to sweat, Yin for relaxation and Alignment for learning how the body works. Element Yoga was founded over 10 years ago by Alexander Kröker, who also gives courses to train yoga instructors. He does so with empathy and passion. All rooms can be rented, which is helpful for bodyworkers, coaches and therapists alike who don’t have their own studio. (Text: Nadine Binias / Photos: Element Yoga)
