Luisa Doerstel

“Luisa is a story weaver, body poet & movement alchemist. She’s infinitely curious about the body & the breath, plants, art, magic, language, failure, and how to find the sweetness of being lost in the world. Holding a degree in Arts&Media and professionally being trained in Contemporary Dance, she now works as a Health Coach, Yoga & Movement Teacher. She believes in life as the practice of listening and responding; a dialogue both with the body and the world as innate language through which everything is connected in rhythmic symphony. Through years of study and practice with her Teachers, including Stephen Thomas, Simon Borg-Olivier, Meghan Currie and Dages Juvelier-Keates, she deepened her knowledge of what it means to be (in) a body as well as being bodily influenced by life’s ebbs and flows. Alongside her lifelong self-discovery this led her to perceiving body-mind-breath as an instrument, map and mirror of her own biography. Passionately committed to sharing her practice, she wants people to vibrantly experience life and guide them into embodying themselves as a moving weaver, receiver and dreamer to orient and navigate between time & space. Her teachings are anatomical but playful, intuitive and raw, drawing from natures wisdom of constant change and cosmic principles of alignment and connection. Her classes weave together aspects of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Katonah Yoga, Somatics and Dance sprinkled with mythology, geometry and embodied astrology.“
