Lineage-trained yoga teacher · Shiatsu therapist · Somatic bodywork · Women's health & hormonal wellness · Perimenopause & menopause support

For those ready to go deeper.

I have spent twenty years studying, practising and teaching — so that what I offer you is not a method. It is lived experience.

Twenty years across four continents taught me one thing above all else: every body is unique, and deserves to be treated that way.

Here, ancient wisdom meets your modern life. A space for deep, personalised work — for those who are ready to truly feel at home in their body and mind.

What I offer

I'm Danka — a lineage-trained yoga teacher, Shiatsu therapist and somatic bodywork practitioner with over twenty years of dedicated practice across four continents.

My work is rooted in tradition and shaped by lived experience. I studied Ashtanga intensively in India, trained in Remedial Massage and Aromatherapy and other modalities in Sydney, and became a certified Senior Teacher of the Vinyasa Krama Mandiram system under Matthew Sweeney.

Whether you carry chronic tension, restricted mobility, hormonal changes, a nervous system that won't quiet down — or simply a longing for more mindfulness, presence and care in your body and life — I see you. I hear you. And I know how to help.

About Saha Yoga

Clients

  • At first, Danka has been my shiatsu therapist, opening up my body and relieving me from the pain of an unbalanced yoga practice where I was being too hard on myself, not listening to my limits. She took care and found the way to my heart. Her generosity, her presence, her energy fed me and inspired me. That’s why when she launched the online classes during the lockdown, I knew it would help me get through this challenging time. The classes with Danka feel like a soft touch, a pause in the middle of the chaotic world where we can calm down, experiment, observe and focus on our well being while building strength and confidence. Even from far, she provides a safe space and with her interdisciplinary view and many tools, she guides us with her peaceful strength through the practice reminding us to take care of ourselves, to breathe and to watch our feelings and respect the state we are in as well as our day to day needs. She designs the sequences for every level and addresses different limitations, restrictions and plateau that we can meet in our practice. I always felt a great deal of benefits from it, the modifications and the mix of different types of yoga as well as her therapeutic and educational approach makes it useful, rich, surprising and very balanced. I am just really disappointed.. to live in a different country! 😀

  • I have been practicing with Danka for more than 3 years now. She is a very experienced and attentive yoga teacher and has recognized quite quickly where my strengths and weaknesses are in my practice. Together we developed a sequence of asanas tailored to my needs. My back pain has decreased significantly. I also can recommend her Shiatsu treatment, she very gently released my blockages so that I finally was free of pain. With a lot of empathy and patience she always motivates me to establish my own practice. I am so grateful that she is my yoga teacher.

  • I‘m very happy and thankful Danka found her way to Leipzig. She is a great Ashtanga teacher with helpful and profound insights in her Mysore classes or Yoga workshops. I can also highly recommend her Shiatsu Massages which helped me a lot with some pain issues. Her advices and yoga adjustments helped me a lot during difficult times. Truly blessed, thank you lovely Danka

  • She is awesome!!! I visited her a few weeks ago because of my back pain and my back pain gone by then. I had shiatsu massage and yoga class. She knows what she is doing so if you are thinking about booking the class or massage with her DO IT it’s worth it I promise

    Jana Zah (Sydney , Aust)

  • Ashtanga yoga is truhly a self practice, but today this woman moved me much farther I ever imagined I could go. Not only through physical adjustments but also verbal advice….in Urdhva dhanurasana I screamed out of joywhen Danka had given me a helpful hints and my sacrum felt pain-free. I am grateful for this Mysore practice with Danka Sky.

    Lenka Molecova Mihocka (Poprad, Slovakia)

  • Danka’s shiatsu session is a treatment for the body, mind, and soul. She supports the physical and emotional body in his healing process. While moving the body from the outside, she intuitively feels what is going on in the emotional body and supports its healing too. Energy blockages and tension are going to be released. Her Shiatsu session leads to inner and outer balance. Danka’s background as a yoga teacher is a huge benefit. Her shiatsu session is a unique combination influenced by her background as a yoga teacher and Tao shiatsu practitioner. In my experience, her therapeutic shiatsu massage is more powerful than a classical shiatsu treatment!

    Magdalena Wallkamm, Leipzig

  • Danka is an amazing beautiful soul who was recommended to me by a yoga teacher here in Sydney as I had torn tendons and chronic inflammation in my shoulder which I was recovering from. I came to Danka for 10 sessions of lymphatic drainage and shiatsu massage. The results have been incredible with literally no pain in my shoulder and I have regained full movement after only 2 weeks of treatment. I can only say how grateful I am to have met you and thank you so much for helping me.

    Cilla Raphael (Sydney, Australia)

  • Danka is a really nice yoga teacher, who showed me how to practise asanas with respect for the body, how to move my practice on without pressure on myself and especially how to approach exercise in case of injury or any other reduced mobility. If you like a dynamic style of yoga, be sure to try different VKM sequences with Danka, which help you develop your asana practice in many ways and as a bonus you will get a stable, strong and flexible body… Thank you, Danka, for the therapeutic respectful and patient guidance on my yoga way...
