Hello!

My name is Nastassja Schuettel. I grew up in a tiny village surrounded by mountains and beautiful forests in the north of Switzerland.

My heart definitely belongs to the mountains. I love being in nature, where I can recharge my energy.

Nastassja Schuettel doing some yoga - My Mountain Therapy

If I'm not on a yoga mat or exploring a mountain, I love being on horseback, baking apple pies 🍎, or taking care of my niece and nephew—though not for toooooo long with those two.

In 2023, I completed my yoga teacher 200hr training in Thailand, where I had the opportunity to stay afterward and teach yoga classes for a while. It was an experience that deeply moved me. I am just fascinated by the power of yoga to reconnect us to the present moment and the sense of inner calm one feels afterward.

Yoga helps me to recenter, relax, and is an important part of my daily routine. As I am developing my own practice using these wonderful tools that are yoga, pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation, I also want to share them with others. I wish to bring a bit more calmness into our world.

As I continue on this yoga journey, I am also deepening my knowledge of aromatherapy. Since 2021, I have been regularly attending courses at the Ecole Romande d’Aromathérapie. Yoga and aromatherapy are quite similar, as they both work on the physical and invisible aspects of our being—our emotions, thoughts, and energies. That's why I find it very interesting to also incorporate essential oils in my yoga classes.

I now live in the beautiful city of Zurich. My classes could be described as calming practices, featuring slow-paced Vinyasa Yoga, infused with restorative Yin Yoga, meditation and aromatherapy. I teach in English and French. Personal adjustments can also be given in German.

I hope this gives you a little more insight into who’s behind My Mountain Therapy. You can also find out more on my Instagram. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to collaborate in some way.

Hope to meet you soon,

Nastassja

Why the name My Mountain Therapy?

In today's busy world, it's good to find a way back to ourselves. Mountains help us calm down and think clearly, but we can't always go to them.

That's where my Mountain Therapy comes in. I want to bring that calm mountain energy into your daily life. In my yoga classes in Zürich and yoga retreats in the Swiss Alps, we do breathing exercises, meditation, and use aromatherapy to help you relax.
