Anna Andry

Anna first landed on a Yoga mat because she needed a post-run stretch. And the rest is a history of Yoga simply proving its own magic.

Driven by an ever-growing fascination for the the joy that movement brings and stillness affirms, Anna is committed to pushing the boundaries of her own mind and body. Being a student of Yoga keeps expanding her horizons. And so as an instructor, it is her aim to create experiences which serve as pedestals on to which students can step to see to new horizons, too. Anna is trained in Vinyasa/Flow as well as Yin Yoga.

Avgoustinos Angelis

Yoga came into my life in 2019, during my first stay in Switzerland, yet my journey with movement, the body, and expression had begun long before. From the age of six until twenty, I immersed myself in Greek traditional dances, while also finding a stage in theater, a voice in music and rhythm in many sports—football, tennis, basketball, ping pong, and handball—each offering moments of distinction, both alone and within a team.

From my very first yoga practice, I was captivated. It felt almost theatrical—embodying animals anad objects through postures—yet what stayed with me most was the moment after savasana: that mysterious awakening where a single breath of conscious rest seemed to dissolve the fatigue of an entire hour. Yoga revealed itself not only as a physical support but as a mental sanctuary, sharpening my focus and carrying me through the demanding paths of mathematics, while whispering an invitation to dive deeper into its world.

In 2022, I completed a 250-hour Vinyasa Krama and Yin Yoga Teacher Training at B Yoga Basel, later expanding into children’s yoga—a path that transformed my understanding. I discovered that when practice is touched by joy, curiosity, and playfulness—woven together with awareness and presence—it blooms, amplifying its gifts for body and soul. Rhythm and synchronicity, rooted deeply in me through my life as a musician, remain steady companions in my teaching. These insights continue to guide me, reminding me always that in yoga, as in life, it is not the destination that matters most, but the beauty of the journey itself.

Matias Ciancaglini

Matías comes from Argentina and his love for Yoga started around 10 years ago. He has explored different practices like Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Iyengar Yoga. With a background in biomedical science, Matías quickly realized that yoga offered more than just physical benefits, it provided an embodied approach to tune into the body’s feelings, navigate emotions, and find a state of equanimity. During his doctoral studies, Yoga became a space where he could regularly reconnect with his body and step out of the analytical mind. Additionally, Yoga became a powerful complement to his strength training, enhancing his breath control and overall balance, while supporting recovery and resilience. His scientific curiosity and his dedication to asana practice led him to explore Yoga as both an embodied practice and a spiritual journey.

Matias finds great fulfilment integrating his professional knowledge with Yoga, the effects of asanas on the immune system as well as understanding how our body works at the cellular and molecular level.

Matias graduated from the BYOGA Teacher Training in 2025, excelling in his teaching practices. His first public classes were part of our Summer Program 2025 and weekend role before joining our regular schedule.

Xi Zheng

"Practicing and teaching yoga in a foreign land allows me to reconnect to my own culture.”

Hailing from China, Xi relocated to Basel to pursue her Ph.D. studies at Basel University's law school. To deepen her commitment to yoga, she found her home in B Yoga, participating in a transformative TT Training in 2019. By November 2019, she commenced her teaching journey. After graduating from the TT Training in 2020, she started her journey as a certified yoga instructor officially.

Rooted in a Buddhist heritage, practicing and teaching yoga becomes a reflective prism for Xi and illuminates the “default culture setting” in a more dynamic and colourful way. She describes her practice as filled with moments of intense concentration and a vibrant energy that she hopes to share with those seeking a deeper sense of fulfilment.

Estefania Cordoba

After being raised in Mexico in the 1990s, I lead a nomadic life throughout the early 2010s looking for a place to land and settle. In 2017, I found myself in Basel and, after working a full-time office job (in a time when standing desks were nonexistent), I was longing for some movement. My search for movement brought me to yoga; the community and sense of belonging I found there made me stay. Being curious about deepening my practice, I embarked on the B. Yoga Teacher Training, which lead me to share my passion for the discipline and hopes for bringing a positive contribution to the community.

Nicole discovered her love for yoga in 2004 while working as a young professional in London. Yoga has been part of her life ever since, helping her stay grounded and balance her work as a paediatrician with her family life.

To take her practice to the next level, Nicole decided to acquire more knowledge by participating in local yoga studies and completed a Vinyasa Krama 200h Yoga Teacher Training at B Yoga with Daniela Fuentes. She thereafter decided to continue her yoga studies with Mark Stephens in Santa Cruz, USA to complete her 500-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification. She is grateful to her teachers who inspired her on her yoga journey.

Strong movement, breath awareness, and finding moments of peace is at the core of her own yoga practice. She incorporates her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to keep her students safe and teaches them how to understand, calm & balance their nervous system, using dynamic and powerful yoga sequences and simple breathing technique.

She is grateful to inspire young people to explore yoga, as a body and mind practice, in this fast-paced 21st century.

Kiyoe Wellington

Kiyoe was first introduced to yoga asana by Glen Moore, a musical mentor and fellow double bassist. Glenn ended her first class in a headstand against the wall and, in that moment, yoga captivated Kiyoe’s 7-year-old heart. In addition to yoga asana, pranayama and meditation, modalities like Feldenkrais, Pilates, and Alexander technique were integral to maintaining optimal physical performance during her demanding music conservatory studies. As a child of multiple diasporae and a perpetual pupil in the school of life, Kiyoe is drawn to the tenet of yoga philosophy that instructs yogis to approach their life and practice as a scientific exploration, rather than devotion to a religion; a worthy venture accessible to any and all beings regardless of creed or origin, where you are your own greatest experiment, learning to find comfort in not having an immediate answer to every question.

After joining the B.Yogi community for a handful of years, Kiyoe enrolled in B.Yoga’s 250hr Yoga Teacher Training and In-Depth Studies 2023-’24. Her teaching style is much a reflection of her life- a multifaceted blend of tradition and modernity. Kiyoe’s life has been strongly impacted by the power of co-regulation and healing in community through creating, emoting, and breathing with others in her experience as an orchestral and chamber musician and choral singer. Through her work and studies as a western herbalist, she is equally intrigued by the emerging science behind nervous system health, facial networks, and the interconnectedness of all the body’s systems in tandem with their environment. These dualities find harmony under the umbrella of yoga and create the throughline in Kiyoe’s class offerings.

Jessica Barone

Learning has fascinated me since I was a little girl. I consider myself to be very curious and interested and am always happy when I can rediscover the unknown and the well-known. In my professional life I work as a primary school teacher and the interaction of learning and teaching enchants me every day. I am grateful for all the small and big teachers in my life. After completing my TT training at B.YOGA in 2021, I am looking forward to teaching lessons and learning from all of you at the same time.

Eliane Wehrli

When Eliane found herself needing a break from her full-time work, she quit her job and started traveling. Her travel journey began with a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali as an opportunity to dive deeper into the world of yoga. 

Years ago, Eliane discovered yoga with the hope to find some release and relief of her migrain. She practiced different styles of yoga, but found her deeper connected in a Vinyasa Yoga practice, as she likes the dynamic of the flow and the connection btw breath and movement. Lately she got more and more involved in the practice of Yin Yoga, where the awareness is more on meditative part in the practice. Her fascination about yoga is in the whole range and depth of what yoga offers. Yoga became a mental and physical medicine to her in all belongings and brings a perfect balance to her daily work as a graphic designer. 

Eliane's Yoga classes are based on a flowing vinyasa sequence, combining breath with movement. Her style is inspired by many teachers she met around the world on her own yoga journey as a student.

Rachel Meyer

Rachel Meyer is an American writer and yoga teacher who believes in keeping things real. She draws from her roots in musical theater, theology, and the arts to teach a wholehearted, vigorous vinyasa.

Rachel completed her Masters in Systematic Theology in Berkeley, CA under groundbreaking feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Yoga Journal, Yoga International, On Being, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, HuffPost, Parents Magazine, and more. She's trained with and assisted Rusty Wells, MC Yogi, and Amanda Giacomini, and taught for a decade in premier studios throughout San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; and Boston, MA. Her current style is influenced by the work of Larry Schultz (creator of The Rocket), Buddhist psychotherapist Michael Stone, and meditation teachers Sharon Salzberg, Ethan Nichtern, Jack Kornfield, and Tara Brach.

Rachel's vinyasa classes are rich in yoga philosophy, sweaty with hard work, and down-to-earth in tone. You can expect an Ashtanga-inspired pace, creative sequencing, a musical sensibility, and a vertical split or two along the way.

Rachel hopes you'll laugh as much as you sweat, and walk out feeling a little stronger, a little softer, and a lot more you.
