👣 Who Will Guide You

Martin & Monika

We’ve led travelers from snow-covered Lapland to sandy beaches in the Philippines, through jungles, temples, and mountaintops. We live and guide with intention, weaving yoga and mindfulness into everyday moments — not just on the mat.

Our journey has taken us through years spent in India and Nepal, where we studied the flow of life in different cultures and learned from wise, grounded people living in rhythm with nature.

Our own yoga path is deeply inspired by our beloved teachers, Vijay Kumar Manja and Bharad Raj Kumar, who have become family. Through them, we’ve explored yoga, meditation, chanting, and bodywork — not just as practices, but as a way of life.

We walk this path together, hand in hand. And we’re here to walk beside you — with open hearts, steady steps, and deep trust in the journey.

“Being a yoga practitioner is like swimming upstream — but you’re not alone.”
