Biomechanical Posture Correction

The key to sustainable, natural healing

Are you suffering from back, hip, head, knee, neck, or shoulder pain? Do you have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) or pelvic floor issues? Then I have an effective solution that not only provides temporary relief but also allows for long-term healing: biomechanical posture correction.

The biomechanical posture correction is a groundbreaking method for treating all physical discomforts naturally. Instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms, this method aims to address the root cause of your pain and restore your body to its optimal alignment.

What others say

Reviews

Yoga got me backs thanks to Mareike. She really does an amazing job. One can feel at ease and everything is ging quite slowly. I trief yoga more than once before but many teachers are simply advancing too quickly so one cannot follow. This is why I highly recommend Mareike.
Mareike is also adjusting participants individually and sees immediately if something is wrong. (translated from German)

Peggy

Every Tuesday I am enjoying a private yoga class with Mareike [....]. Every class is different. Mareike is not only asking every time how I am doing but she also intuitively feels what I need. What I like most, is that she focuses a lot on the alignment and is never tired of adjusting me [....]. 90 min are always over super quickly and every time I feel amazing after. (translated from German)

Verena

Mareike is an amazing Yoga teacher.
I have been looking for a long time to find a yoga class that suits me and I finally found it with her.
I can highly recommend to practice yoga with her.

Malaia has a fantastic understanding of body alignment. I have a number of historical injuries and work at a computer too many hours a day. Hunched and twisted I attended Malaia's Alignment Yoga class. Presenting simple and very achievable yoga positions with pin sharp focus on details brought immediate benefit to some of my old injuries. [...] Malaia is amazing and I cannot recommend her expertise highly enough.

Bernie

Mareike is a wonderful teacher. I love her calm and relaxed way of leading through the lesson. She is not only competent in Yoga but also knows the effects on your body. She speaks English, French and German fluently. I love her.

Sandra

I took my 60-year old mother who has never done any sports to Malaia's class and had no idea whether I would even be able to convince her to join! She agreed to try tough. Malaia's class was a really gentle introduction and encouraging introduction to yoga for her, she enjoyed it and it gave me an opportunity to connect with my mum in a new way.

Eeva

I've visited many yoga classes in Koh Phangan though, I would say Malaria is really a great teacher. Her knowledge of each Asana is enormous, and I could learn so much for even one session. She knows exactly where to improve your body and correct sufficiently with great advise!!!

Nanako

Malaia was my yoga teacher in some classes when I did the Shakti Yoga Emotional Rebalance Retreat. I liked her classes very much. They were challenging for me, but in the right pace. As a teacher she is very straightforward. She corrects you and helps you to find the right positions. She also uses good playlists. Thanks for that!
