Its all about the nervous system, baby
hi, my name is karolin
Welcome to my world - I am so glad that you are here!
Loosely based in Austria, I feel most at home in forests, on mountain trails, and anywhere near water, always with dark chocolate in my bag.
With a background in social anthropology, over 1000 hours in the psychosocial field, and training in yoga, polyvagal theory and mind–body coaching, I bring together professional knowledge and lived experience.
My work is rooted in regulation, presence and gentleness. I lead from my own practice - tending to my mental health and nervous system so I can offer true co-regulation and attunement.
I don’t fix or direct. I accompany.
Supporting you to return to the wisdom, agency and inner safety already living in your body.
slow down, soften and become alive with me
Trauma sensitive Yoga
My teaching style is trauma sensitive, gentle and intuitive. I will guide you through a practice that lets you attune to your own body’s wisdom and find safety within.
You can find me in person in Vienna at manas-yoga.studio or practice with me online: with private sessions or the community practice.
1:1 Coaching
Have you heard of somatic coaching?
“Soma” means body and here, your body is part of the conversation. While talk therapy or traditional coaching can be helpful, they often leave out the wisdom your body holds. Transitions, challenges, or past experiences can get “stuck” in the body, and somatic coaching helps you move through them with gentle awareness.
My 1:1 coaching is personalised to you, guiding both mind and body to help you reconnect, sense your own rhythms, and become more alive.
Retreats
Have you ever traveled in a way your body could actually keep up with?
My retreats offer exactly that: slow, grounding experiences that help you reconnect with yourself and the land you’re moving through.
With trauma-sensitive yoga, somatic practices, and unhurried time in nature, we explore how to travel without overwhelming the nervous system - how to arrive, connect and be present.
testimonials
“I was very much at a standstill, with Karolin I had someone at my side who helped me to move forward again”
- Sebastian, hairdresser, austria
“She makes me feel seen and heard. And she notices when I get overwhelmed and then switches from talking to somatic exercises, like breathing exercises, body scans or some small movements. This is very effective for me to get out of my head (and overwhelm) and into my body. ”
– Veerle, Biologist, netherlands
„Karolin helped me to feel comfortable by being open to all questions, listening to my thoughts and adapting to my current situation. Given my doubts about certain life choices, I felt I could speak openly and discuss whatever was on my mind; I always felt welcome and well understood. But most of all, I liked the way we were together, reflecting on my thoughts, dreams, etc., so that I really felt that we were on the same side and not that I had to go through this alone.“
– Johannes, PhD, Austria
