Anica founded NOSADE to share authentic travel experiences in beautiful, diverse, and ever-fascinating Morocco with like-minded nomad-hearted people.

One of her concerns as an entrepreneur is combining a conscious approach to nature and culture on the one hand with a company that creates jobs for locals and operates in a sustainable and fair fashion on the other. She strives to provide both clients and employees with educational and formative experiences.

Deeply rooted in her native Upper Franconia, Anica loves nature and the wonderful places of power in Franconian Switzerland.
This connection inspired her to organize a NOSADE yoga retreat in her picturesque home region for the first time.

As a yoga teacher, she blends knowledge of the bio-mechanical aspects of healthy motion in yoga with a balanced and conscious approach to life that is rooted in thousands of years of yoga tradition and teachings.

“Make conscious choices about how to move – joyfully, and yet skillfully and aware – how you want to think and feel and take these learnings from the mat to your daily life.”

Anica is also a trained yoga therapist and Ayurvedic massage therapist.
