Yogi | Mascha Schmitz

Mascha Schmitz

Mascha started her yoga journey when she was 16; entering her first Sivananda yoga class she instantly knew she would become a yoga teacher one day. She is a graduated sports scientist, yoga teacher, bodyworker and Ayurveda therapist. She founded Sukha Yoga – Holistic Flow of the Elements in 2012 in Cologne, Germany. Mascha has been practising yoga since 1996 and has been teaching since 2005. Over the last two decades, she has travelled the world deepening her understanding about the healing aspects of yoga and Ayurveda. She constantly expands and evolves her knowledge of the human body and the wisdom of yoga while studying with international teachers such as Bianca Machliss and Simon Borg-Olivier (Yoga Synergy, Australia), Lance Schuler (Inspaya Yoga, Australia), Ana Forrest (Forrest Yoga), Anne Heydenreich and David Winch (Soboco Yoga), David Williams (US) Sita Menon (Evolve Yoga) and Jambo Dragon (UK).

Mascha’s classes are based on working with the elements. She combines dynamic Hata Yoga, with Marma Chikitsa (the Energy Point System) and the Restorative Yoga Method (creating synergies between the different parts of the brain and releasing trauma). Mascha loves to create a space for healing and transformation and uses ceremony in her teaching to adjust the body and mind to process and accept changes.
