WHERE IT ALL BEGAN…
YOGABLOOM is a love story.
It started as a shared love for the practice (yes, dear yoga, we love you!) and it developed into a family. We don’t use the word family just to describe our blended household, we use it also to communicate the nurturing, supportive and joyful community that we have dreamed to house in our current Basel city-center yoga studio.
At its roots, YOGABLOOM began when we, Sandi and Emily, connected as friends.
With a local and growing Kids & Family Yoga community (since 2015), we began to collaborate with the vision to create a Family Yoga Retreat in Southern Italy. Coincidentally (or not) Sandi had at that time a website already launched with the name YOGABLOOM and it was easy to imagine that as the online hOMe for telling the story of the first retreat.
It was through that collaboration that the seed of YOGABLOOM was planted.
It was still quite some years before the vision grew into a studio space. And on the 4th of September in 2022 we opened the doors to a new part of our life. Along the way to that opening there were new ‘family’ members - both literally (as we welcomed Jade, our daughter, into the world) and figuratively as we welcomed teachers, friends, collaborators, yoga practitioners and so on into the heart of our dream.
Now we smile as we watch the community blossom.
Emily Pease
Emily’s classes are an all-ages experience of joy. She elegantly and playfully weaves together yoga poses, songs & stories, breath activities, games and more into classes for kids and their adults. As a mother herself, Emily is passionate about the ways that yoga enhances the well-being and confidence of children while also boosting the bonds of family life.
Her greatest teacher has been her own child but she has also been honored to study with both Next Generation Yoga (USA) and Rainbow Kids Yoga (Australia) and is now a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. This is in addition to her full 500-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification that she uses to teach bigger people in open Vinyasa Classes, workshops and Yoga Teacher Trainings.
Emily has a love for her practice. She considers herself - first and foremost - a student of yoga, knowing that the experience and joy of teaching enriches and deepens her own personal study. Whether working with adults or children, for Emily, every class is a venture in blending playfulness and mindfulness on the mat.
Are you ready for yoga?!
Sandi Georgiew
As the father of three daughters, Sandi understands the importance of sharing the brilliance of yoga with the next generation(s). He is always reminded of this after practicing with his girls as together they experience greater joy and deeper connection.
In his practice and his teaching, Sandi has been strongly influenced and inspired by his trips to India. In 2013 he completed his 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Kutir in the Himalayan Mountains near Rishikesh. Since then, he has drawn together a teaching style that connects Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with other traditions and styles.
Within his personal practice he has an experience of cleansing the body and mind from the inside out - and thus journeying towards greater health and happiness in his own life. And it is because of this personal growth that Sandi desires to share the beneficial qualities of yoga with practitioners of all ages.
His classes are designed to be playful as well as challenging and he offers options for students of all levels to access their practice with ease, persistence and joy.
Om Shanti - May All Beings Be Happy
