Life abroad can be exciting – and it can come with its own challenges. Especially when you are going through a sensitive phase of your life like trying to conceive, preparing for labor, recovering from child birth, navigating perimenopause or trying to balance work and life.

My 1:1 Guidance is designed to support you through these changes – with personalised Yoga, Coaching, Body Coaching, breathwork and practical body knowledge, in English and tailored to where you are right now.

Fertility Journey

1:1 Fertility Yoga & Fertility Coaching

Trying to conceive can be a challenging time for body, mind & heart– especially when the journey takes longer or looks different than you had hoped.

How I can support you: 1:1 Fertility Yoga helps you release stress and tension from the body. By combining gentle movement, restorative yoga poses, breathing techniques and deep relaxation you can calm your nervous system, support your cycle, increase blood flow to your reproductive organs and feel more connected to your body – both when trying to conceive naturally and during fertility treatment.

Fertility Coaching focuses on the mental and emotional side of your fertility journey. It gives you space to talk openly about what is on your mind and work through questions and challenges. This may include finding ways to deal with difficult feelings such as anger or envy, making sense of information around your cycle, hormones, stress or nutrition, gaining clarity around an important decision, or becoming more aware of your own needs and boundaries.

Pregnancy & Birth Prep

1:1 Prenatal Yoga & Body-Coaching

Prepare for birth – in a way that suits you

Postpartum Recovery & Core Strength

1:1 Postnatal Yoga & Body-Coaching

Pregnancy and childbirth changed your body. Now you are looking for ways to reconnect to your body and rebuild strength and stability – but you are not exactly sure how to start.

How I can support you: Whether it’s been 5 weeks, 5 months or 5 years, 1:1 Postnatal Yoga and Body Coaching can help you better understand your “new” body and what it needs. Together we can work on stabilizing your pelvic floor, reconnecting to your core, releasing tension and calming your nervous system to build a strong foundation for returning to exercise and everyday activities..

Perimenopause & beyond

1:1 MenoCore Yoga & Body-Coaching

As your hormones shift, you may notice your body and mind responding differently to movement, stress, sleep and everyday demands. Now you want to find out what you can do to feel stronger, more energized or more relaxed.

How I can support you: 1:1 MenoCore Yoga and Body Coaching can help you better understand what is changing in your body, why you may be feeling the way you do and find out what you can actively do to support yourself through this phase. Together we can work on building strength, mobility and body awareness, find accessible relaxation techniques to reduce everyday stress and learn to work with your body, not against it.

Work-Life-Balance

1:1 Personal Yoga & Body-Coaching

Even though you enjoy your job, you have noticed that it takes up a lot of time and energy – and that your body and nervous system have been getting less attention lately. Working over time, long hours of sitting, one-sided strain and constant stress can leave you feeling disconnected from your body and make it harder to switch off and recover.

How I can support you: 1:1 Yoga and Body Coaching help you bring more attention back to your body. We can work on releasing tension, building strength and mobility, calming your nervous system and understanding how your cycle can affect your energy and stress levels. Together we can find ways to adapt movement, recovery and everyday habits to what your body needs.

Testimonials

What my clients say

Ilke is a very experienced yoga teacher with additional special knowledge in anatomy, the female cycle and the meridian system. I felt very seen with all my needs and she managed to help me with physical problems I have had for years. She also worked intensively with my chakra system and accompanied me to find my inner strength again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, namasté, Sabine

Sabine (Munich, online)1:1 Personal Yoga

Ilke helped guide me during my pregnancy by incorporating movement through prenatal yoga. She tailors every session according to my feedback and current situation during the pregnancy which I appreciate so much. This gave me a lot of reassurance and confidence to go through the yoga sessions. Ilke also puts emphasis on correct breathing techniques which I can say for sure helped during my labour. She is patient, dedicated and efficient. I have enjoyed my prenatal yoga very much and I would definitely recommend Ilke not just as a yoga trainer but a lovely person overall.

Frequently Asked Questions

You want to learn more about my 1:1 guidance? If you cannot find your question in the FAQs, send an email to ilke@mypersonalyogi.de!

Do I need yoga experience to work with you?

No, you don´t need yoga experience. Since we work in a 1:1 setting, we can adapt every exercise to you and your needs.

You offer "Fertility Coaching" and "Body-Coaching" - what´s the difference?

Fertility Coaching is specifically designed for women going through a fertility journey. It focuses on the mental and emotional side of trying to conceive and gives you space to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, questions, needs and boundaries.

Body Coaching is about understanding your body and how it works at different stages of life. We look at what is happening in your body (e.g. stress, pregnancy-related changes, diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, back pain…), how different factors are connected (pelvic floor and breathing mechanics or stress and hormones) and what your body may be telling you. We then make this knowledge tangible through practical exercises, so you can better understand and work with your body (actively support labour voa moments and breathing techniques).

Where do the sessions take place?

The sessions can take place whereever it´s most comfortable for you.

I offer 1:1 sessions at your home, your office, in my yoga space in Frankfurt`s Nordend and online.

Most of my clients actually appreciate being able to practice yoga at home, in a familiar environment and not having to calculate extra time for travelling, searching for parking spots etc.

But if you are happy to get out of the house, you are also welcome to come to my yoga space in the Nordend.

How much does your 1:1-guidance cost?

The Check-In Session (90 Min.) costs 149,00 Euro (one-time fee). The Check-In Session is a prerequisite for booking further sessions. However, there´s no obligation to actually book further sessions after the Check-In. If you just want to do the 90 min Check-In and take the impulses from that session without continuing, that´s perfectly fine.

After the Check-In, each additional session (whether Yoga, Fertility Coaching or Body-Coaching) costs €109 for 60 minutes. You can decide flexibly how many sessions you would like to book. There is no minimum number of sessions required.
