Studio Owner / Sound medicine /  Energy work / Elemental dance / Cacao rituals / sound practitioner training

Cheyenne Kaya Femi

I’m the weaver behind this space - a vision that became reality from my deep desire to create a place where people feel truly seen, held and inspired. I founded the studio to build a soulful community and offer spaces that cultivate deep connection, to others and one self.

What started as a dream is now a living, breathing space filled with resonance, connection and depth.

When I’m not holding space, you’ll find me dancing to spine-tingling music, wandering in nature whispering to the fairies, or having deep, cosmic conversations with my soul tribe.

Come say hi - I’d love to meet you!

Sound medicine

Filippo

I create a space to arrive fully, to breathe, to listen inward. My approach invites you to move at your own pace, with attention and care for what is alive in the moment.
Each session is shaped with intention, guided by rhythm, intuition and the intelligence of the body. You can explore more about my work on my website.

When not holding space, I love exploring new places, moving with music, sitting by nature, or simply being around friends and family. These everyday rituals keep me connected to what is real.
I honour presence, simplicity and truth and let them guide the way I share and hold space. Let’s meet in movement or stillness, wherever you are in the quiet bloom of your becoming. I look forward to meeting you there.

sound medicine / reiki 

anja

I hold space for stillness, softness and inner harmony, for people ready to reconnect with their bodies, their breath and their deeper knowing. Through energy work and sound, I guide others into presence, into resonance, into the quiet truth beneath the noise.

My path into energy work was shaped by a deep appreciation for music, vibration and the unseen connection between people, nature and the universe. Over time, this sensitivity developed into a focused practice- combining sound, energy and presence to support others on their

own path.

 

Outside of holding space, I’m floating between soft breath and loud music, barefoot in nature one moment, breaking a sweat the next. I dance between sacred stillness and messy joy, between ritual and rawness. Spirit lives in both. I cherish slow mornings, deep connection and the quiet magic of presence. Let’s meet in the in between,  where energy flows and hearts soften.

deep flow yoga

irem

My path into teaching began with yoga, breath and meditation  practices that taught me to listen inward and move with greater awareness. Over the years, living and studying in different parts of the world, including India and Colombia, deepened my understanding of how movement, intentionality and ritual shape body, mind and spirit.

I am a 500h RYT yoga teacher and was initiated in Kriya Yoga in the Himalayas, a lineage that continues to inform the depth and intention behind my teaching. Alongside yoga, Pilates and dance became important anchors for me, helping translate subtle awareness into grounded embodiment.

Outside the studio, I’m drawn to nature, deep conversations and experiences that invite both slowness and aliveness. I’m expressive by nature and love to sing, make music and explore new ways of moving through the world.

yin yoga

rahel

Yoga entered my life almost ten years ago, and the fascination was immediate. I felt connected, grounded, and at ease within myself, more balanced and more present. This sense of calm and contentment deeply touched me and awakened my curiosity. Ever since, I have loved exploring yoga and life, coming closer to myself, and connecting with both my inner world and the world around me. For me, yoga is the path inward – the path back to myself. I love sitting in stillness, allowing thoughts to pass by, and sinking deeply into my inner space.

In my free time, you’ll find me in nature. I love wandering through the forest, swimming in the lake, and surrendering to the rhythm of life.
I look forward to meeting you on the mat and creating this quiet, nurturing space together.

ashtanga led / vinyasa yoga

Virgi

I'm the one who traded Excel models and client decks for yoga mats: after years in strategy consulting, I finally admitted the spreadsheets weren't exactly the point. 
I now teach Ashtanga Led and Vinyasa as I love watching people unfold to find out what their body and their breath can actually hold on and off the mat.

When I'm not teaching, you'll find me climbing outdoors, camping on the mountains or somewhere loud dancing to electronic music till the sunrise. 

Come say hi - I don't bite, promise.

Intuitive Breathwork journey

Asha

For many years, I searched outside of myself for the feeling of being home. It was only when I learned to slow down, to listen to my body, and to embrace every part of myself, not only the joyful one, that I realized home had never been a place. It had always been within me.

 Energy Healing became the doorway that gently guided me back to presence, trust, softness, and to the quiet wisdom that had never left me.

Today, I hold spaces where others can reconnect with that same feeling.

 

My work is not about fixing you or helping you become someone else. It is about creating a safe and grounded space where you can breathe, soften, and remember who you are beneath the layers of conditioning, expectations, and fear.

I believe transformation doesn't happen through force. It happens when we feel safe enough to be fully present with ourselves. When we soften, the body begins to release what it has been carrying, and our own inner wisdom naturally finds its way to the surface.

 

ASHA Soulwork was born from one quiet whisper:

Remember.

Not to become someone new,

but to come home to yourself.

Amorphous ritual / Yoga / Intuitive Dance / Reflective writing

Maja

I am dedicated yoga and art practicioner with strong sense of community as well as devoloping sense of I.
I hold space for Amorphous Ritual like a riverbed - steady enough to support the flow, spacious enough to welcome whatever emerges.
Amorphous weaves together yoga, intuitive dance, and reflective writing into one living practice. 
For me, these three practices are Medicine. They carry me through seasons of joy as well as moments of uncertainty. Through movement, breath, reflection, and shared presence, I continue finding my way back home to myself. It is a privilege to witness others finding their way home too.


When I'm not at Kayana, you'll probably find me wandering through second-hand shops in search of forgotten treasures, painting mandalas beside an oversized pot of jasmine green tea, sharing a strong coffee with a dear friend, or chasing waterfalls - both in nature and within.

Heka living light energy 

Caroline

I’m a living bridge between many things, I walk between the western medicine and the energy based medicine, the modern and the ancient, I weave between the seen and the unseen and as a queer woman between the yin and yang energies within myself.


When I am not working as a HEKA living light facilitator, you find me holding space for parents and children as a paediatrician, working at Dr. Nordmann in Wiedikon or giving private hypnotherapy sessions to heal old wounds and traumas and outdated beliefs and emotions. 
Other than that I am happily married and a dog and cat mom, I love spending time in nature, dancing mostly to techno and singing like nobody is watching, and the older I get, the more I enjoy a good night’s sleep.

hatha yoga

Yoga - a path to physical and mental balance, a path to stillness. Being able to experience the beneficial, balancing and healing effects of yoga is a gift. The strength and energy that yoga provides help, time and again, to create moments for yourself amid a stressful everyday life, to turn your focus inward and, with regular practice, to expand these moments more and more. The unity of body, mind and breath is the key to the process of letting go of our mental and physical constructs - and ultimately freeing ourselves from them.

Transformation can take place, leading to inner peace and liberation. Pranayama and meditation bring calm, inner stillness and clarity; a feeling of lightness, serenity and relaxation begins to arise.

The fruits of this process are inner peace and bliss - answers to questions that come from our deepest core.

mayan abdominal massage / holistic coaching / fluidus yoga / energy healing

Steffi

My work is rooted in the belief that the body holds a wisdom of its own. Through Mayan Abdominal Massage, holistic coaching, FluidUs and energy healing, I create spaces to slow down, listen and reconnect with what is already within you. I’m especially drawn to the relationship between the physical and the unseen, and to the ways our bodies can guide us back towards ourselves. I’m especially passionate about Mayan Abdominal Massage and its invitation to slow down, feel into the body and reconnect with what is asking to be heard.

 

Apart from that, you’ll often find me wandering through nature, learning about plants and their healing properties, or creating little herbal remedies of my own. I love discovering new cultures and perspectives, and diving into the mysteries of our subconscious and all the places where the known meets the unknown.

 

My intention is not to tell you who you should become, but to create a space where you can listen deeply enough to remember who you already are.

Holosomatic®️ Bodywork & Hypnotherapy

Bahar

Passionate about personal growth and healing, I create safe and empowering spaces where you can reconnect with yourself, release limiting patterns, and step more fully into your own authenticity.
My approach combines compassion, presence, and transformational tools to support you in deepening self-awareness, building self-trust, and creating meaningful change in your life. 
I believe that profound transformation happens when the mind, body, and heart come into alignment - allowing you to live with greater freedom, confidence, and purpose.

When I’m not holding space for others, you’ll often find me reading, meditating, spending time in nature, or exploring new ways to deepen my own personal growth. Lifelong learning is an important part of my journey, and I regularly volunteer at personal development events and retreats.
Wherever you are on your journey, I look forward to supporting you in reconnecting with yourself and creating meaningful, lasting change.

rebalance & realign yoga / yoga therapy

tanja

With over 20 years of practice in conscious movement and holistic healing, I guide individuals toward inner balance and growth. Inspired by the rhythms of nature and the fluidity of water, my yoga blends embodiment, spirituality, and gentle realignment.

Rooted in a deep reverence for the natural world and the mystery of being human, I believe healing begins with connection - to breath, to earth, to one another. My work is a celebration of authenticity, intuitive listening, and the sacredness of everyday moments.

I find joy in hiking mountain trails, traveling with my boys, stand-up paddling across serene lakes, and leaping from bridges into wild rivers. I nourish my spirit with Ayurvedic food and deep, heart-stirring conversations. And when music calls, I dance for hours - moved by rhythm, bass and the freedom it brings.

holistic coaching / energy work

Janine

I’ve always been drawn to the unseen - the wisdom of the body, the mystery of our being, the dance of energy in all things. Presence is my path and forever learning, to be fully here, in each sacred moment. Life, my greatest teacher, showed me how to become my own sanctuary. And now, I offer this space to you - a soft, safe harbor where you remember: you already are everything you seek.

In the quiet rhythm of my free moments, I’m drawn to the pulse of nature , I move my body through dance and yoga, letting breath and motion speak what words cannot. I listen to music, to birdsong, to the silence between and find meaning there. Time with loved ones nourishes me, as do the deep, soul-stirring conversations that spiral into the mysteries of the universe.

Birth Chart Reading / Astrocartography / Synastry / solar return /
Astrology workshops

alley

My journey with astrology began in childhood, rooted in a deep fascination with mythology, psychology and the language of symbols that would come to me both in dreams and in waking life.
I have been working with astrology for over ten years and it has become my greatest teacher, a mirror showing that everything around us reflects what we carry within.

When I’m not studying the movement of the planets, I let my body lead and follow what feels right, whether it’s gentle yoga, cooking for my loved ones, lazy afternoon in the park, ecstatic dance or solo traveling.
