ABOUT FELICIA WALKER

Felicia's journey into yoga began in childhood, influenced by her mother, who introduced her to its practices. Since then, yoga has been a constant in her life, evolving in form and expression while always carrying the essence of Bhakti (devotion) at its core. At 15, she discovered Jivamukti Yoga and, by 19, completed her 300-hour teacher training in New York, followed by a 500-hour apprenticeship with her mentor Zsuzsanna Villany in Munich. After teaching in Munich for two years, she felt drawn to explore the world, eventually settling in Berlin in 2017, where she has been teaching Jivamukti Yoga ever since.

In the last 5 years, Felicia has focused on training new yoga teachers, a role she passionately embraces. She also leads workshops, teaches harmonium, and thus shares her love for Yoga and Bhakti.

Her travels, studies, and connections have shaped her into who she is today, ever-evolving, deeply grateful, and in love with life. In her classes, Felicia combines asanas, meditation, and chanting to create space for experience to happen: the experience of our own abundance and deep love, of tranquility and inner wisdom.
