Hi, I’m Tori, a German-American journalist and yogi. I was born in New York, raised in Germany, and moved back to New York from Berlin for graduate school in 2022, then to Portland for love in 2024. It’s been a wild ride since I rolled out my first yoga mat at 19! Over the past ten years, yoga has been the one constant in my life—it’s become my home, my grounding, a path back to myself, and probably the one thing keeping me sane.

I discovered my passion for teaching when my friends joined my daily beach yoga sessions; it felt like a light switch turned on inside me. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to share that light with others. I’ve explored various styles and lineages, experienced different yoga scenes in different cities, and learned to find a haven within my own body.

My classes are influenced by the amazing teachers I've encountered, from the wisdom and techniques of Jivamukti Yoga in Berlin to the spells and sprinkles of Katonah magic in New York. I’m excited and eager to dive deeper into my practice here in my new home, Portland.
