About Miriam
What role does yoga play in your life?
Yoga is, for me, a lived practice - far beyond the mat. It’s a way of moving through the world: consciously, connected, and with an inner alignment that keeps bringing me back to myself. The physical practice is an entry point, but not the goal. It’s my way of grounding and opening again and again. Not to become someone else, but to come closer, layer by layer, to what is already there.
What do you hope to share with your students in your yoga classes?
I want to offer more than just movement. I want to create spaces that feel real - without performance, without pressure, but with depth. My classes are an invitation not to optimize the body, but to listen to it.
The practice can be challenging, but above all it should create awareness. Between strength and softness, something very authentic emerges. If my students leave the space with greater awareness - for themselves, their breath, and the way they move through life - then everything I wish to share is already there.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
Clarity meets feeling. Discipline meets devotion. I believe in a practice that does not divide, but connects - body and mind, inner and outer, movement and stillness. It’s not about perfection, but about presence.
And perhaps above all, it’s about learning to feel again. Because that is where true connection begins - with ourselves and with the world we live in. My philosophy brings together a clear, strong practice with an inner attitude of compassion, mindfulness, and devotion.

Sound Journey with Alchemy Crystal Tones
The subtle, multi-layered frequencies of crystal singing bowls create a space of deep relaxation and invite the nervous system to settle and unwind. In these sound journeys, an immersive soundscape unfolds, gently guiding body and mind into a meditative state. The vibrations are not only calming on a mental level but can also be felt physically - supporting release, regeneration, and the rediscovery of inner balance.

Our next Retreats
Our daily lives are often dictated by schedules and packed with tasks. We’re busy meeting the expectations of others, and in the process, we lose touch with ourselves. This can change at the "From Doing to Being" Retreat with Cathrin Niehus. Give yourself permission to take a break from constant doing and shift into being. Allow yourself space for you and your needs, to rediscover your inner calm and serenity. You will reconnect with your energy and return from the retreat balanced, full of vitality, and carrying a new toolbox of techniques and methods to support long-term balance in your everyday life.
During Cathrin’s retreat, you can expect a 90-minute Yoga-Mindfulness session both in the morning and afternoon. These sessions combine dynamic and relaxing yoga sequences, breathing techniques to regulate your nervous system, meditations for moments of stillness, and prompts for reflection. They create space to notice yourself, feel, and connect more deeply within. With lightness and depth, Cathrin invites you to explore new perspectives – both physically and mentally.

22. - 26. March 2026
This retreat invites you to experience movement, sound, and community as medicine. Through yoga, free somatic practice, and sound sessions, we dive layer by layer deeper into our body and our inner self.
We shift the rhythm: slowing down, speeding up, pausing, and letting go. Balancing asanas strengthen and open, somatic movements provide access to deeper levels, and sound brings you into stillness, where silence and vitality meet.
Alongside the intensive practice, there is also time for connection, sharing, and enjoying nature, culinary delights, and quiet moments. Together, we create a safe space where regeneration, clarity, and new inspiration can arise – a retreat that nourishes body, mind, and heart.
