“Your own self is your ultimate teacher. The outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for he is the goal.”
Welcome!
Lets create a sacred space together, allow me to be a guide and hold space as you give yourself the time to live within your truth through movement, breathe, and self-awareness.

Babett’s Approach
Babette’s teaching blends creative and intentional asana sequences with somatic practices that encourage deep presence and body-led awareness. Her classes emphasize patience, non-judgment, and acceptance, fostering a safe space for students to meet themselves exactly where they are. She believes that our stories live in our tissues—and through mindful movement and nervous system rewiring techniques, the body can begin to release what it no longer needs to carry.
Library: The Untethered Soul (Michael A. Singer); Breath (James Nestor); Real Happiness (Sharon Salzberg), The Body Keeps the Score (Bessel van der Kolk); Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching
