As a childcare worker and mother, I now know what unconditional love means. Last few years I am grateful to get the knowledge of Traditional Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga from brothers who get their expertise from around the world and sisters who learned in India also personally by B. K. S. Iyengar. Everything in life has a reason - befor I get all these skills. Now I am sure that I already get the life mission befor I was born, to be a healer, friend, sister and sunshine for you.

MY STORY
Yoga Journey
"Hello, my name is Stefanie Liling born 1991 in Linz, Austria and proud rooted in Cambodia. Above all, I consider myself an empathic and open-hearted individual who finds immense joy in caring for the people I hold dear. I'm also incredibly fortunate to have a loving partner by my side and a beautiful little son, born 2022, who brings endless joy to my life. We love to spent time with our family but also enjoy to explore the world together. Travelling is a part of us, get to know new places, cultures reminds you again and again how grateful we can be and no matter where in the world we are allowed to call home. Yoga also is a way that gives me a feeling of coming home - to myself, my roots & my inner child.
But let me share a bit about how I stumbled upon the path of yoga, a journey that's deeply personal to me. You see, it wasn't a journey born out of mere curiosity, it was a lifeline during some of my darkest days. I battled with mental health issues—depression and anxiety—and often felt lost in a sea of uncertainty.
Yoga became my anchor, guiding me towards a place of healing and self-discovery. It was through this ancient practice that I found my way back to myself, rediscovering the childlike wonder and resilience that I thought I had lost. Yoga was not just a pastime - it was my path to inner peace.
My yoga journey took on new meaning besides my disease endometriosis, during my pregnancy and subsequent struggles, including three surgeries. In those trying times, meditation and yoga asanas weren't just exercises, they were lifelines that alleviated physical pain and contributed to my overall well-being.
Now, I'm here to share my story with you and to invite you to awakening the power of change and growth. At Open Soul Open Heart Yoga, my aim is to help you go on your own journey of self-healing, to find the light within, and to discover the incredible power of an open soul and an open heart that resides in each and every one of us.
