Welcome to nng yOGA

Each summer, when the weather allows, I teach yoga in one of Berlin's most quietly extraordinary places: the sculpture garden of the Neue Nationalgalerie, Mies van der Rohe's glass-and-steel pavilion, seamed by greenery, stone, and water.

I started this format in 2023, and it returns every year because the place itself does half the teaching. You're surrounded by sculpture, framed by one of the most significant buildings in modern architecture, practicing on stone warmed by the sun — and somehow, that's exactly where the mind starts to quiet.

Every class is different. We arrive with a theme - often a piece in the garden, an artist, a fragment of their life or work and let it lead us into asana, breath, and meditation. A column reaching "without end" becomes a reason to move differently. A sculpture's stillness becomes a reason to stay. The art is never background — it's the way in.

We breathe together, move together, and meditate together — and somewhere in that hour, the noise quiets and something larger gets room to surface. That's the part I can't fully describe in writing. People tend to just feel it.

Numbers are limited the museum caps the size and we’re at the mercy of Berlin weather…so when the dates are up, they tend to fill quickly.
