Welcome. My name is Karim, and I’ve been teaching yoga in Lausanne since 2015. My approach is rooted in tradition while staying open to the realities of our modern lives. It’s a living practice — one that connects movement, breath, voice and presence, without chasing performance, but rather exploring authenticity, inner listening and transformation.
If you’re looking for a space to breathe, reconnect, strengthen your body — maybe even upside down — and explore a practice that is human, grounded and open-hearted, I’d be happy to welcome you.
An inclusive and integrated approach to yoga
The yoga I share weaves together postures (āsana), conscious breathing (prāṇāyāma), meditation, mantra chanting, kirtan, and the inner path of Bhakti Yoga — the yoga of the heart. It’s a practice that honours the depth of tradition, while remaining accessible to everyone, regardless of age, level or beliefs.
I believe yoga begins wherever you are — with your strengths, your doubts, your curiosity, and your desire to grow. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you’re welcome here.
What I offer in Lausanne
I propose several ways to explore and deepen your practice — all grounded in care, presence and a sincere connection to the body and heart:
Weekly group classes
Accessible sessions open to all levels, blending movement, breath and deep relaxation. Each class focuses on a theme — balance, openness, grounding, fluidity — and is an invitation to return to yourself.
Thematic workshops
Longer sessions, usually on weekends, to explore specific topics in depth: inversions (like handstands), mantra and kirtan, Bhakti Yoga, and sound-based practices.
Kirtans and events
I regularly host open kirtan circles — mantra chanting gatherings that are open to all. No need to be a singer or musician. Just bring your voice and your presence — we sing together, in a joyful and meditative atmosphere.
Certified Yoga Alliance teacher training
I organize and teach in Yoga Alliance-certified teacher trainings (RYT 200 & 300), especially modules on Bhakti Yoga, mantra, philosophy, and how to bring voice and heart into your teaching.
