Hi, I’m Sini (she/her)
I’m a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher (RYT-500). I’ve completed various yoga teacher trainings specialising in hatha, yin, vinyasa and yoga philosophy. I’ve also studied Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) at the University of California San Diego and Mindful Self-Compassion at the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. I’m also a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, life coach (LCAF), as well as a gender equality and inclusion consultant.
I especially love helping my fellow introverts and highly sensitive people (HSPs) feel less overwhelmed, stressed and anxious when navigating life.
I aim to create a relaxed, inclusive and open atmosphere in my classes where you can feel safe, welcome and accepted as you are. I look forward to welcoming you to this autumn retreat!
You do not need to have yoga experience to join this retreat - all levels welcome!

What my clients say:
“Attending Sini’s yoga classes brings me to a world of calmness and relaxation. During the process I feel this is not something for my body only, but also for my mental relaxation. Every new class is a new inspiration for me, full of new explorations of my body and mind.”
TEONA“I loved Sini’s style of yoga. From the moment we sat together to set an intention for the class, I felt centred and safe.”
LEILIA“Practising with Sini taught me to relax and listen to my body. I started breathing properly which has helped me in stress management. My body is more flexible and I feel more flexible and healthier inside out. Sini’s attitude, dedication, patience, knowledge and spirit has inspired me to start practising yoga.”
SOPHIO“Sini’s classes helped me tremendously in a “come back” to a healthy lifestyle, both by regaining a flexibility I had not had since my youth, as well as by Sini sharing profound wisdom and inspiration toward self-improvement.”

Questions & Answers
Q: What if I don’t have previous experience in yoga?
A: That’s totally OK - the retreat is suitable for those with experience in yoga and those who are beginners and interested to learn more about yoga.
Q: What kind of yoga will it be?
A: The morning classes will be more energising, dynamic hatha and vinyasa yoga classes which combine movement and breathing. In the evening we’ll do more calm yin yoga in which there is less movement but more stillness in the different yoga poses, mainly on the floor. The yoga is adapted to different levels and I also take into account the specific requests or preferences of the group.
Q: Where is it and where will I sleep?
A: The retreat is hosted in the beautiful Labbnäs Semesterhem in the Finnish archipelago of Kemiönsaari, Finland. It is a 2-hour drive from Helsinki and 1 hour from Turku. The place is also accessible by public transport (bus). You can choose to have a private single room or a shared room. All the rooms are cosy and beautifully decorated (some photos included above). The bathroom and shower facilities are shared, on the same floor.
Q: What if I don’t feel like participating in the activities?
A: That’s totally OK - all the activities are completely optional, this is your time to just be and relax and you decide what you want to do. There will be daily yoga classes and workshops but you can also skip these and read a book, enjoy a coffee, swim or a walk in the forest instead.
Q: What happens after I click the sign-up button?
A: After you click the registration link, a Google form will open in your browser where you will fill in your name, email address, room option selection and share any other information you’d like to share with me. I will then send you two invoices via email -one for the accommodation/hotel payment and another one for the programme.
