founders
Lana & Naomi have found a shared life path + purpose in creating spaces for vulnerable, regenerative and gently empowering well–being. After hosting a workshop together just having met, the deep resonance was clear. The vision for founding a physical studio space together came half a year later. 1,5 years of hosting monthly workshops together passed until their co–creation and wide expertises could finally be poured into a place to call their own. Through unwavering trust and powerful support from all directions, in September 2024, inner spaces studio came to life in the heart of Freiburg.
svetlana
Lana is a co-founder of inner spaces studio, yoga teacher, psychology student, and passionate about dance, sound, and somatic embodiment. Since her teenage years, she has immersed herself into dance, yoga, and creative experiences emerging from a curiosity for healing and a meaningful, deeply felt life. In 2019 she completed her traditional yoga teacher training in an ashram in Rishikesh, India followed by six months of contemporary dance training. She has been a dedicated and passionate yoga student and teacher ever since.
Through her bachelor in psychology, she began offering trauma-informed yoga, somatics and embodiment practices in psychosomatic clinics following her love for the intersection between Eastern spirituality and Western psychology. Her inclusive spaces are created with intention, respectfully weaving together ancient wisdom traditions, modern science and her own embodied experience and intuition. She warmly invites you to explore and embrace your full human experience, deepening the (re)connection to your body and authentic inner being through self-enquiry.
Naomi
Naomi is a co-founder of inner spaces studio, visual creative, cacao facilitator and yoga teacher. After her studies in Interdisciplinary Arts in Maastricht, Netherlands, becoming a Hatha & Kundalini yoga teacher in Vienna, Austria led her to cacao in 2020. In the following years, she hosted countless rituals in urban settings, continued working with photography, co–founded the collective Bubbles Popup in Vienna and opened her online membership cacao spaces.
Her passion lies in creating safe spaces that prioritise softness over self-expectations and empower gentle self-leadership in one’s own life. Cacao to her, is a committed journey into ever-growing self-trust and a mindful return to one’s inner nature. Her rituals encompass yoga, astrology, women’s work, creativity and sound. She gently guides you to nourish the relationship to your body and self.
