Teachers 2024
NOSADE teaches holistic yoga with an emphasis on health benefits.
Focusing on bio-mechanically and anatomically correct movement, we view yoga as a means to promote and maintain quality of life, health, and autonomy on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level.
Our teaching styles range from Anusara, Hatha, (Power-) Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar to restorative and Yin yoga.
In our fundamental conviction that the mere practice of poses is not enough to cultivate a healthy, and – most importantly – conscious sensitivity for our body both on the inside and the outside, we deepen the understanding of our very personal (motion-) patterns throughout our yoga retreats and during our travels and again and again create connections to everyday life. Focusing on bio-mechanically correct movement patterns and holistic well-being, motion and strength, breathing technique, classical yoga philosophy, spirituality, and meditation, our scope expands to the therapeutic aspects of yoga.
The ancient philosophy of yoga in its full extent, in connection with advances in and adaptation of the Asana to the needs of the 21st century human body, make yoga the marvelous, helpful, clear, and rewarding path that it is.
Our Yoga classes are taught in English and / or German.

Patricia Lorenzo (Yoga-Teacher, Marrakech)
Patricia Lorenzo
Patricia started practicing Yoga in 2012 when she was looking for an activity that would be physical while allowing her overthinking brain to focus. With the practice, she achieved her initial goals while discovering a whole new world of balance and renewed sense of connection with life in all its expressions.
She then decided to share her experience and guide others in the practice. In 2016, she took her 200h Teacher Training which she has since complemented with shorter trainings in anatomy and somatics. She has taught at different studios, Riads, Hotels, and private clients since.
Her approach to Yoga asana teaching and sequencing is mostly Vinyasa but she also incorporates elements of other styles of Yoga and schools of movement. Her classes are usually designed to be a fluid balance of strength, active mobility, adapted challenge, and playfulness within a frame of self-inquiry. She offers a holistic view of Yoga, including pranayama, mantra, and meditation at a suitable level.
It is her belief that Yoga teachers don’t actually “teach”, but rather guide the students through tools that allow them to more easily moderate their own inner dialogue between body and mind. Hence, her own motto: Flow, Feel, Grow.

Traudi Pich
Traudi Pich discovered yoga in 2001. After years of work in the fitness industry, her desire for more peace and serenity had grown. First, the body-oriented and dynamic “Power Yoga” after Bryan Kest with numerous workshops with him. The millennia-old healing system fascinated her, not only the positive effect on the body through a better posture and flexibility but also the balance and peace that you could experience after every hour. To deepen this, she completed a medical-scientific Hatha Yoga teacher training in 2008, as well as the “Prana Vinyasa Flow” training of Shiva Rea. After two more educations and many teachers and influences, for which she is very grateful, she regularly teaches open classes, personal yoga, and workshops.
Traudi lives in Ingolstadt and since 2017 runs her own studio Try2Fly “Yoga and Ayurveda”. Her style combines various influences such as Vinyasa Yoga, Prana Flow and Kundalini Yoga. In flowing sequences, somatic and energetic levels of the body meet and fill all cells with life and vitality – we feel this as calmness, centering and inner balance.
Jens Simon Petersen
Jens Simon Petersen (Yoga Teacher, Berlin)
In his chosen home town Berlin Jens Simon teaches for various studios such as ‘Yoga für Dich’ in Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Schöneberg. Jens also teaches occasionally in big companies such as Mercedes, Lufthansa and Deloitte.
Originally raised in Hamburg, his base was first martial arts and dance, followed by the invigorating Vinyasa Yoga. The sense of well-being, ‘wring out stress’, strengthening the body and clearing one’s mind is what keeps him attracted to Yoga as a whole. ‘How can one preserve this ease in everyday life? What would need to change? How could my needs find more fulfillment?’ were questions that Jens gradually found answers to.
Jens Simon was trained and mostly influenced in the beautiful East Village of New York on ‘Yoga to the people’, a fund-based studio – usually filled with people of all nations, professions and worldviews. Similar to his personal practice, Jens Simon offers Vinyasa Yoga in the morning, activating and invigorating, while in the evening Yin Yoga and meditation are in the foreground – slowing down and calming – to gradually leave the day behind, to activate self-healing powers and to process impressions.

Recognizing that being unhappy comes from a wrong perspective and wrong thoughts everything changed. Now I feel that I want to live life as a whole, with all the ups and downs, and not just the happy side of it. Life is beautiful and perfect as it is, and that is happiness.“
