This body was once given the name Eva Sophie Wolkorte haha a concept I learned in India. A little playful. A little spiritual. I have always carried a strong life force and a deep intuition, and somehow I kept following that inner current. It led me toward extraordinary places and experiences: living in Shanghai, Berlin and Amsterdam, moving through life with curiosity, ambition and an open heart.
Until the combination of a corporate career and a relationship became an undeniable turning point. At that time, I did not yet know how to truly listen to my body. I had not learned how to honour my boundaries, or to recognise what, or who, was gently but steadily draining my energy. I am a natural people pleaser. Always saying yes. To people. To opportunities. To places. From the outside, everything looked effortless and complete. On the inside, I was slowly losing touch with my own inner world.
I worked hard. I stayed busy. My joyful moments were accompanied by coffee, cigarettes, and evenings softened by wine. I felt restless without fully understanding why.
During my studies in Berlin, yoga entered my life in the covid period, when the days unfolded within the same four walls and the same stagnant energy. Each time I stepped onto the mat or sat in stillness, it felt as though something invisible was gently lifting me. Creating space. Lightness. Breath. What I did not yet realise was how many layers were beginning to open. Like an onion, slowly and tenderly revealing its core.
Even with yoga as my companion, I remained in situations that did not truly nourish me. And then, almost miraculously, the camping appeared on our path. An opportunity that felt both unexpected and aligned. To this day, entrepreneurship remains the greatest mirror of my life. Yoga became my anchor within that unfolding journey. On the mat, it feels like coming home.
A month of living and studying inside a yoga shala in Rishikesh, India, began to shape the rhythm of my life. New rituals infused my days: breathwork, mindful nourishment, silence, and kriyas. A kriya is a guided yogic practice that uses breath, movement, sound, and focus to gently shift your energy and state of mind.
My five senses slowly reawakened. I began to truly taste what I consumed. (Chocolate with preservatives? No merci.) I became selective with my energy, my time, and my choices. No more unconscious yeses. No more coffee, alcohol, or cigarettes. Not from force, but from clarity.
Kundalini arrived a little later. Where yoga helped me land gracefully in my body, kundalini activated me from the inside out. It touches not only my physical form, but also my emotional landscape, my energy field, and my awareness. Old patterns soften. Fear slowly dissolves into trust. I find the courage to make choices I once postponed. I feel deeply reconnected to my body, and to something far greater than myself.
At the beginning of this year, the calling to follow a kundalini teacher training appeared. And then, as if divinely timed, kundalini quite literally appeared on our path. At the campsite, a guest named Joy offered to share her practice with us. A gift from the universe. After her session, my curiosity bloomed. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually.
Through this entire journey, I have grown in ways I could never have imagined. I have become softer, and at the same time more sovereign. I stand firmly in my own energy now. I listen to my intuition. Yoga and kundalini brought me closer to my essence. They ground me. Ignite my inner fire. Open space for creativity and trust. I feel more confident. More disciplined. More empowered. More anchored.
The reason I love sharing this work with others is simple and sacred: I have witnessed what becomes possible when we reconnect with our inner wheels. In my classes, I create a refined, safe and welcoming space where nothing needs to be achieved and everything is allowed to unfold. It is deeply moving to witness people soften, open, release and rediscover parts of themselves they had forgotten. The conversations that arise after practice, sometimes accompanied by a card reading, feel like moments of quiet ceremony. Small portals of magic. And it is exactly this magic that I love to share with our guests. By sharing I hope to support others on f growth, healing and conscious living.

Kundalini is the awakening of life force energy through the seven chakras, described as energetic wheels within the body. Although this practice has spread across the world in recent years, it is often portrayed in a way that no longer reflects its true nature. “These videos are theatre,” our teacher in India once said, while drawing on a chalkboard. Online, images circulate of people convulsing, hyperventilating or reacting dramatically. These expressions are far removed from the lived reality of the practice. Kundalini does not awaken fully in a single session. For many, it unfolds gradually, sometimes over the course of years. When the body moves, it is often felt as a soft, subtle wave through the spine. Nothing explosive. Nothing resembling the sensational images shared online. Kundalini is powerful, and it is a safe and grounded method when practised with care. The breath gradually becomes more spacious. Energy reveals itself gently, like light reappearing after a cloud has passed.
