The teachers:

Eveliina Holm is a yoga teacher, Ayurveda Life Coach and mindfulness instructor at CFM®. Spirituality, yoga philosophy, embodiment and holistic approach also come to the fore under Evelina’s guidance. The unique sound world and music support the practice. In Eveliina’s view, yoga occurs when one can fully surrender to experience this moment and draw empowering insights from both oneself and the world. In addition to the asana, Eveliina uses e.g. free movement, breathing and visualization. The classes are deep, fun and dynamic – small holiday trips in your daily life towards your true self.

She is dedicated to truth, and authenticity, and to helping others realize their innate magic.
