Radhika, India

Ilka has an incredibly calming energy. I credit her with helping me to truly understand the value yoga brings to my life.

Ulrich und Elke Müller, Germany

"Danke!!
Endlich werden meine Rückenbeschwerden besser und auch meine Atmung ist mir viel bewusster geworden..."

"Aufgestanden: ich: nein, jetzt Yoga?
Atmen, bewegen, entspannen puuuuuuh
Nach der Stunde: entspannt! besser atmen! einfach ein gutes Gefühl!"

Pia, India

I’ve pretty much spent my whole adult life searching for the perfect massage, or perhaps the perfect masseuse. Someone in whose presence I can feel safe and held - and destiny lead me to Ilka ...

The massage was just the right balance of pressure and gentleness and she knows intuitively how to get to those knots!

Shanto, India

“A Healing Touch”
I... It was a healing journey for me and much more than just physical work. She is intuitive and responsive to the needs of the body and emotions.
