About Nicole
What role does yoga play in your life?
A very significant one. Beyond teaching, my personal practice is absolutely essential to me. Yoga helps me return to my strength again and again and supports me in navigating challenging situations — both in my personal and professional life.
What do you hope to share with your students through your classes?
I want my students to feel at home in their bodies — to cultivate refined body awareness as well as a strengthened mind. It’s about nurturing the connection between body, mind, and soul. These days we all face countless challenges, and it’s incredibly helpful to have a few tools at hand that support us in managing those moments.
How would you describe the core of your philosophy?
Creating a safe space for my students is deeply important to me. The focus of my classes lies in a well-aligned asana practice combined with conscious breathing. I draw strong inspiration from the philosophy of Katonah Yoga; I especially love the metaphor: “Your body is your house. Make your house your home.” My mentor Nevine Michaan always says: “It’s not about never falling down. The real art is getting up more quickly and continuing on.” And I believe a solid yoga practice can support exactly that.

Workshops & Specials

In this special class, we journey through all three levels of the body using the concept of the “Magic Squares.” After the Katonah Yoga practice, a guided meditation deepens the metaphor. Feel at home in your body and release stored tension and blockages.

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.

The (P)REHAB Retreat accompanies you on a journey to strengthen your connection with yourself and rediscover your innate bodily intuition. This is achieved through a combination of science and spirituality in the fields of breathwork, meditation, and movement.
It is not a “classic-traditional” yoga retreat, but rather offers you the opportunity to connect with yourself in a truly individual, therapeutic, and holistic way. The aim is not only to make you feel better through yoga, but also to help you become better at feeling.

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.
