  • "I had a fantastic time at Neha and Dhiraj’s retreat in Brandenburg! The whole weekend was super well organized with a great balance of yoga, meditation, just chilling out and other activities. Neha and Dhiraj were the most welcoming hosts—they really made everyone feel at home. Highly recommend joining one of the retreats or visiting the classes in the studio."

    Kathrin Eiglsperger

  • "I can truly recommend Yogicescape from the bottom of my heart! You will find true authentic Yoga teachings here, the founder Neha is directly coming from India, and — in my opinion — that really makes the difference. I even attended a Yogaretreat in Brandenburg with Yogicescape, so be sure to check out their website as well.”

    Finja

  • "Neha is my favorite yoga teacher so far - calm, confident, she gives a lot of useful information beyond the physical exercise about mental health etc. but is also very down-to-earth and practical. There are also other great teachers here, I really enjoyed the classes and look forward to coming back every time."
