About Me

I’m Dr. Nikita Sharda, and I come from the birthplace of yoga, India, now residing in Amsterdam.

My Indian upbringing with deep yogic tradition has granted me a holistic understanding into yoga that is rare to find outside India. My journey is also deeply rooted in my professional background as a social scientist where I've delved deep into the intricate layers of the human experience, exploring the connections between mind, body, and spirit. This unique fusion of knowledge allows me to offer you a personalized yoga experience that transcends the ordinary.

I blend various yoga styles, poses, and techniques to create a dynamic and engaging experience respecting the individuality of each student. This approach not only keeps the practice exciting but also allows students to explore different facets of yoga, from strength and flexibility to mindfulness and relaxation. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just beginning to explore the wonders of this ancient practice, I'm here to craft a journey that's uniquely yours!

I bring a friendly and relaxed style to my yoga instruction, and my classes are known for their comforting and encouraging ambiance. I pay attention to details and offer physical guidance during sessions. My background in research and teaching allows me to make yoga inclusive for students of all skill levels.

My classes are aimed at delivering an immersive and holistic inner journey. Therefore, each yoga session is a distinctive blend of vinyasa, ashtanga, and yin styles, complemented by various meditation and breathwork techniques. This blend offers a well-rounded experience that encompasses physical challenge, flexibility, mindfulness, and relaxation.

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Rohima
1:1 yoga, meditation & stretching sessions in the comfort of your own home
Hi there! My name is Rohima and I am a certified yoga & tantra teacher, but besides that... I am also human. I am based in Amsterdam and would love to guide you in to different practices. I offer 1:1 practices in the comfort of your own home. Think about a (yin) yoga practice with meditation. Think about breathwork, or assisted stretching (which we call PNF - Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facillitation) where I'll help you to move your body in different stretching positions which helps your range of motion & muscle flexibility. Besides the physical practice I love to help people to build a deeper connection with themselves and others. Thats why I also offer (white) tantra practice in groups or for couples. I also listen to what your body needs & desires and together we'll do what is best for you!

Gul
Yoga for everyone! (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and Meditation, Breathing Exercises)
Yoga, which I initially adopted as a treatment method following my herniated disc diagnosis, evolved into a practice for both my physical and mental well-being over time. By gaining a deeper understanding of the body through alignment and mindful observation during slow-paced flows, I discovered its incredible capabilities, opening up a whole new path in life. As you continue to practice, both mentally and physically, you become more attuned to the sensations and changes within your body and mind. This heightened mindfulness extends beyond yoga, positively impacting various aspects of your life. You’ll find yourself more composed and insightful not just during yoga sessions, but also in challenging situations at work, in personal relationships, or even in everyday frustrations like waiting for a parking spot. Embarking on this journey can bring about a calmer, more pleasant, and wiser version of yourself. If you're ready to start, I would be pleased to accompany you on this transformative path.

Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga classes in Amsterdam
Yogash citta vrtti nirodha 'Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.' Patanjali, Yoga Sutras I am a Vinyasa Yoga teacher based in Amsterdam. My yoga journey started ten years ago. Back in the days, I was finishing my Master Degree in Business and had to cope with a lot of stress. Yoga helped me to remain focused and grounded towards the new challenges I was facing. It truly brought balance into my life and helped me to smoothly adjust to these changes. Not only does yoga keep you fit. It goes way beyond the physical practice and impacts all aspects of our daily life. Yoga reminds us how to breathe and how significant self-love and acceptance are. Yoga teaches us how to find peace and comfort in the uncomfortable. Yoga soothes the mind and creates space for continuous growth and expansion. Yoga is a gift, 'the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.' That is why I decided to become a yoga teacher, to be able to share this expanding experience with others and guiding them to find their inner teacher. I can't wait to meet you on the mat! Namaste,

Nutrition advisor for deep health, sustainable steps for strategic progression
I help people to find "deep health" through nutrition. As obesity specialist Dr. Yori Freedhoff said: " The best weight is what you reach when you are living your healthiest life you actually enjoy." It is proven that restrictive diets often fail and most people return to their original weight. What is needed is a lifestyle change that allows goals to be achieved in sustainable steps. Small actions and strategic progression with a client-centric and science based approach. I have a bachelor degree in communication sciences and several certification course in nutrition: Specialist in Sport Nutrition ISSA (International sport association), Nutrition L1 (Precision Nutrition), Diploma in nutrition (Fab Academy), enrolled in Advanced Holistic Nutrition (School of natural health sciences).

Alexander Technique as a tool for a Healthier Life
Alexander Technique addresses posture, balance, movement, and breathing issues in a holistic manner. The teacher's central aim is to gently bring the students' attention to the way she uses her own body in activity and how it affects directly its overall functioning. The idea is to slowly cultivate a self-regulating awareness of the body which in time will check for a more balanced and integrated life.

YogaBody Style: Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, Yin-Yang, Breath Work.
I believe that every body is highly individual, we all have different bone structures, different lifestyles, different needs. Therefore, personalized yoga is most beneficial. Yoga styles and intensity varies from Power Yoga to Yin-Yang. It really depends what your body and mind needs. It could be flexibility, strength or help to manage anxiety by breath work. Well, yoga could have many benefits for the body if we know how to use it, because, let's be honest, the same pose that can heal can hurt as well. If you have doctor's recommendation for yoga, or you want to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, loose weight? Or perhaps you just curious about yoga? Let me know. I look forward to meet you!
