Meet Celine: Senior Yoga Teacher, Founder of Salty Prana Yoga School, and a passionate guide on the journey to self-discovery. With over two decades of experience, Celine’s path to yoga began in her native Switzerland, where she sought balance and inner peace in the hustle of everyday life. Little did she know, that first yoga class would spark a transformation that would shape her entire life.

Celine’s background as a nurse and personal trainer gives her a unique perspective on holistic well-being, which she blends seamlessly into her teachings. Today, as a 1000+ hour internationally accredited yoga teacher, she dedicates herself to empowering others to embrace yoga as a way of life—encouraging personal growth, self-awareness, and authentic living.

A lifelong student of yoga, Celine has studied under world-renowned teachers, weaving together the wisdom of diverse traditions to inform her approach. Her classes, ranging from dynamic vinyasa flows to soothing yin yoga and meditation, offer a deeply embodied experience that emphasizes mindful movement, breath connection, and the integration of philosophy into practice.

With a deep love for the ancient wisdom of Shaivism, Celine also teaches yoga philosophy, interweaving these profound teachings into every class. She believes that understanding the philosophical roots of yoga enriches the practice, offering students not just physical strength but also mental clarity and spiritual depth.

Through workshops, teacher training, and one-on-one coaching, Celine nurtures her students as they grow into confident and compassionate teachers. She believes the journey of growth is endless and is honored to support others as they uncover their inner strength and live with purpose.

For Celine, yoga isn’t just a practice—it’s a path to living fully, with balance, clarity, and grace.
