Yoga & Movement with
Susanne Abele
"When I let go of what I am,I can become what I might be"
Lao Te Ching
Welcome
My name is Susanne ...
... and my passion is to share the benefits of Yoga, movement and embodied healing practices, breathwork, and the power of sound.
My diverse movement background, the particular focus I put on healthy alignment and accessibility, based on a profound knowledge of the human anatomy, my personal experiences with surgery and injury, and a background in Diversity & Inclusion and Coaching, provide the principles of my approach.
I teach in German, Italian and English language, in different studio locations in Milan, outdoors, at clients' homes, and online.
Corporate Yoga is part of my offerings. For collaboration contact me.
Offerings
Yoga & other holistic practices to integrate body, mind and soul, for all levels of experience. Pilates, strength training and functional movement.
In groups, in studio, as corporate wellbeing initiative, or individually tailored to your specific needs, in your language, in your preferred location. In person and online.

Individual 1:1 Yoga - Private and small group classes
German/English/Italian
In person & online
Are you new to Yoga and would like to learn the basics? Or deepen your practice and focus on specific aspects?
You're looking for a way to relax, let go of stress? Want to get rid of back pain?
Your work schedule doesn't allow you to join studio classes?
Whatever your motivation -
Private 1:1 sessions might be the best solution for you.
Classes will be tailored around your goals & needs, and can take place in the comfort of your home – with your baby, pet, etc. present if you wish.

Meditation, Pranayama, Yin & Restorative Yoga
German/English/Italian
In person & online
Yoga is often associated with the embodied Asana practice. But actually the Asana represent only one small aspect of this ancient, holistic discipline.
It is scientifically proven that Pranayama - also translated as "Breath work" -, mindfulness practices, and restorative Asana practices like Yin Yoga calm the nervous system, help regulate anxiety and depression, lead to deep relaxation and help with better sleep.
Try a group or private session and experience the healing powers of breath and meditation!
Budokon Yoga and Yobility
German/English/Italian
In person only
Budokon style Yoga is a dynamic, physically challenging Yoga style that synchronises classical Hatha Yoga with martial arts, calisthenics and animal locomotion. Mind science and Zen Buddhism are its' philosophical pillars.
It trains strength, stamina, and joint mobility, while sharpening focus and fostering self observation.
A further part of the mixed movement system Budokon, is mobility training, Inspired by dance and BJJ drills.
Budokon helps you become a better mover on all levels, keeping you healthy and mobile. It's a great workout and so much fun! Try and feel it yourself!
Strength and mobility training / Functional training
German/English/Italian
In person & online
Accessible Yoga
German/English/Italian
In person only
Want to add specific strength training to your Yoga practice, to master arm balances, jump troughs etc.?
You are strong, but a reduced flexibility hinders you from doing certain movements?
You notice that your range of motion becomes smaller with age, daily life tasks become more exhausting, and you want to change that?
You'd like to improve your balance?
Great! Together we're going to make it happen!
With a mix of high and low intensity training, based on body weight exercises and functional movement, core training and postural training.
(Social) Media create the impression that only thin, able bodied people could practice Yoga asana. That is not true.
Yoga is for EVERY body - the asana, and all the other aspects of it. Don't be intimidated by Instagram and co.!!
I am trained in the following fields and offer group and private classes on request:
+ Yoga during the pregnancy
+ Yoga post partum
+ Mum&Baby Yoga
+ Accessible Yoga
+ Chair Yoga
+ Yoga for the elderly
+ Restorative Yoga
I am also working on community projects for groups marginalised in the Yoga and Wellness Industry. If you have questions about that or would like to collaborate, please reach out.

✨stretches the connective tissue and helps
mobilize the joints

Sound Baths
A sound bath is a therapeutic experience where you relax and immerse yourself in soothing sound waves, created by instruments like singing bowls, handpans, or chimes.
The sounds and vibrations help promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and balance energy.
Benefits include improved mental clarity, enhanced emotional well-being, reduced anxiety, and improved sleep. It's a calming, meditative experience that allows the mind and body to rejuvenate. Perfect for anyone looking to unwind, heal, and restore inner peace.
