English Yoga Berlin – FAQ


What do I need to bring to class?

Nothing! Mats, props and blankets are all provided at the studio, free of charge.


I’ve never done yoga before. Can I come?

Absolutely. All classes are open to beginners. If it’s your first time, please arrive a ten minutes early so we can have a brief chat, you can fill in a registration form, and settle into the space before we begin.


Is Hatha Yoga right for me?

Hatha Yoga at English Yoga Berlin is a slow-paced class suitable for all levels. The focus is on staying present with your body, moving with curiosity rather than effort, and ending with a deep relaxation.

This is not a fast or high-intensity class — but it is not passive either. You will build strength and flexibility, and because of the Alexander Technique foundation in my teaching, there is a strong emphasis on alignment and understanding how you move, not just what you do. Students often find this approach surprisingly challenging and deeply rewarding at the same time.

The class is genuinely intergenerational — students range from their mid-twenties to their seventies, with most in their forties. If you are over 60 and wondering whether you will fit in, the answer is yes — you will not be alone, and the pace and approach work well at every stage of life. 🌿


I’m pregnant. Can I practice?

Yes — you are welcome to join the general Hatha Yoga class during pregnancy if you are not completely new to yoga. Please write to me beforehand so I can make sure to offer you appropriate modifications. I also offer private sessions for pregnancy, or if you know other pregnant people you can book a small group session together. Alexander Technique is particularly wonderful during pregnancy for body awareness and ease.


The class shows as full on Momoyoga. Can I still come?

It might work out! — please write to me directly at pinelopi(at)englishyogaberlin(dot)com. There are often last-minute cancellations and a spot may be available.


Is the schedule up to date?

Yes, the schedule is regularly updated. If you’re unsure whether there’s space in a class, just write to me.


How do I pay?

Payment is by bank transfer, cash, or PayPal. All payments are made after receiving an invoice through Smart EG.


Can I make up a missed class?

If you’ve booked a 6-week module, classes are recorded and available online for up to two weeks after each session. Drop-in bookings cancelled at least 24 hours in advance receive a credit on Momoyoga valid for three months.


How do I book a private session?

You can find all the information about private sessions, including pricing, on the Private Sessions page.


Do you offer reduced rates?

I use a solidarity pricing model for private sessions — you choose the rate that honestly reflects your current situation. For regular students of the group classes experiencing genuine financial difficulty, please speak to me privately. I will always do my best to find a solution.


How do I get to the studio?

The closest U-Bahn is Schlesisches Tor (U1), a 10-minute walk. The M29 bus stops an 8-minute walk away. Street parking and bike parking are available outside. [Find us here](link to Find Us page)


Is the space available for rent?

The studio space is not available for rent.


Are you open on public holidays?

Classes follow the schedule as published. Check the calendar for up-to-date information.


I’m a yoga teacher looking for work. Do you have openings?

I am a solo teacher and am not currently looking for collaborators. You are very welcome to come to class and become part of the community.

  2. Hi, I have just moved to Berlin and am working a few shifts in a restaurant. This does not qualify me as low income per se, but will make it tricky to prioritise yoga in my budget. I was wondering if you offered work for karma yogi\\’s at your studio? Thank you:)

    I am a Hypnotherapist based in London and will be coming to Berlin to host my TOBACCCO LEAVES hypnotherapy session – designed to help people quit smoking for good.

    At the moment I have two provisional dates and would like to know if you can promote this event among your yoga community?
