TEACHERS

JAN GARUDA

Yoga Teacher, Certified Naturopath, Acupuncturist and Bodyworker

An early call towards exploring true happiness, spirituality and holistic health led me on a lifelong journey through a variety of teachings and traditions. Since finally becoming an “official” Yoga Teacher in 2008, I have loved sharing what has proven helpful to me and others through classes, workshops, retreats and Yoga Teacher Trainings in Asia, Europe, and North America.

My deepes gratitude goes to my teachers, who have strongly inspired me over the past decades through more than 1800 hours of formal Yoga Teacher Training, as well as in so many retreats and workshops: Sahajananda (Hridaya Yoga and Classical Tantra), Mooji (Advaita Vedanta), Christopher Wallis (non-dual Shaiva Tantra), Reinhart Gammenthaler (Hatha-Kundalini Yoga), Sri Prem Baba (The Path of the Heart), Mark Whitwell (Vinyasa Yoga), the Akasha Yoga Academy Family (Burkhart, Kirsten and Devdas), Lorraine Taylor (Heart of Ashtanga Yoga), Bex Tyrer (Yin Yoga), Mihaeila Pentiuc (Therapeutic Yoga), Swami Vivekananda Saraswati (Agama Yoga), S.N.Goenka (Teravada Vipassana Meditation), H.H. the Dalai Lama (Tibetan Buddhism), Lama Ole Nydahl (Karma Kagyü Buddhism), Tim Jago (Celtic Sweatlodges), Kare Landfald (Zen Coaching), and Udo Lorenzen (Traditional Chinese Medicine and Daoism).

Furthermore, I extend my gratitude to those teachers who have inspired me greatly without having met in person, such as Georg Feuerstein, Alan Watts, Osho, David Deida, Marshall Rosenberg, Byron Katie, Don Miguel Ruiz, Swami Lakshmanjoo, Mantak Chia, B.K.S. Iyengar, Sally Kempton, Joachim-Ernst Behrendt, Saint Francis of Assisi, and so many more.

In addition to Yoga, I have studied naturopathy, bodywork and massage, cranial-sacral and hypnotherapy, and have worked for several years in the fields of Shamanism and anthropology. I have been a certified Heilpraktiker (the German equivalent of naturopath) and Acupuncturist since 2005. Travelling, nature, playing musical instruments, video and photography, as well as underwater rugby and, occasionally, snowboarding and surfing are further great passions of mine.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you in person 🙏🏼

NAOMI PREMA DEVI

Tantra & Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Tantra Facilitator, Relationship & Intimacy Coach

Naomi, a New Zealand native always had a pull towards the mysteries of life. She was lucky to be born into a family with parents that meditated, which gave her a deep sense of inner peace. After she left home she noticed her inner peace starting to dwindle, and she realized she needed to have her own spiritual practice. So she started on her spiritual journey, studying a range of spiritual and healing modalities such as Reiki, Massage, Meditation, Yoga, the Art of living, Taoism, Vipassana etc.
 
It was not until 2002 in India, that she discovered her true spiritual calling “Tantra”. From that day onward she was hooked. Her first teacher came from the Muktananda lineage, and he taught her the basics of Tantric Kriya Yoga, after this she went on to study Kundalini Yoga participating in many White Tantra workshops. Following this she studied for 5 years (24 levels) at a Tantra Yoga school and became a Tantra Yoga teacher. Since then she has explored Tao Tantra, Neo Tantra, Conscious relationships and shadow work among other things.
 
Currently Naomi Prema Devi teaches Tantra and Yoga and coaches people around intimacy and relationships.
 
Her qualifications include being a: certified 500hr+ Kundalini and Tantra Yoga Teacher, a Mystical Dance Teacher, a Tao Tantric Arts Instructor, an Integrated Love, Sex and Relationship Coach and the co-founder of the Heart of Tantra Festival.
 
Naomi believes in living Heaven on Earth. She is passionate about creating transformative, empowering experiences that connect people to their true essence, opening them to deeper Intimacy with themselves, others and life.
 
She is humbly grateful to be of service.

MEL MUNZ

Tantra Yoga Teacher, Tantra Massage Teacher, Fengshui Consultant, Reiki Therapist

I started my working life in a normal 9 to 5 job in a HR department. After a few years, questions started popping up in my head such as: “Is this it? Is this my destiny?”

Fortunately, I started looking for something else, something deeper. Back then I first stumbled across Fengshui and was fascinated from the very beginning, as it opened the doors to the world of subtle energetics for me. Also, I soon started practicing Hatha Yoga.

But there was still something missing, I still didn’t feel comfortable as a woman, with my femininity and sexuality. With great uncertainty, I attended my first Tantra massage workshop and fell deeply in love with this form of work. A long journey began in which I deepened my knowledge and experience in Tantra Yoga, Tantra Massage, Tantric Sexuality, Meditation as well as Kashmiri Shaivism. With each workshop and retreat I dived deeper and experienced more healing and self-reflection.

Years later, I increasingly felt a deep desire to pass on the knowledge and those techniques that have helped me so much in my own personal growth to support others in their transformation and healing processes. In 2019 I finally became a Tantra Yoga and Tantra Massage teacher.

I feel much gratitude for everyone whose path has led them to my classes or workshops and I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey.

Tantra Yoga with Kajsa

KAJSA ESPLING

Tantra Yoga Teacher · Somatic & Relationship Coach · Psychology Student · Singer & Artist

A burnout in 2018 disrupted a life built on performance – both in the corporate world and as an athlete – and sparked a deeper inquiry: What does it truly mean to be well?

That question led me on an 8-year journey of travel, study, and teaching. I first immersed myself in Tantra Yoga and embodiment practices, and later transitioned into formal academic training, now pursuing a university degree in Psychology.

Today, my work bridges Western psychology with Eastern traditions of embodiment, presence, and relational awareness. I’m particularly interested in how insight becomes transformative when it moves beyond cognition and into lived, somatic experience – through the body, breath, and nervous system. I am currently specializing in ADHD and Autism, with a focus on neurodiversity-informed and embodied approaches.

Alongside my academic studies, I am a certified RYT200 Tantra Yoga Teacher and certified Tantra Teacher. I have taught internationally and since 2022 have specialized in coaching individuals and couples in the areas of communication, nervous system awareness, and relational resilience.

As a singer and artist, I also weave voice, music, and poetry into my work. What I offer lives at the intersection of structure and intuition – where psychology meets poetry, and science is allowed to breathe.

Students have described me as “an old grey-haired lady living in a young woman’s body.”
I take that as a compliment. My work focuses on embodiment, relationships, and self-development – supporting people in reconnecting with their body, heart, and life force, without losing their sense of humor along the way.
