“Daniela and all the other teachers involved in the training are very well prepared. The training looked into various topics, all equally relevant to form baby yoga teachers. I highly recommend this training to have a first consistent and deeper touch of the yoga world and to gain proper competences as a teacher.”
What is Vinyasa Krama?
“Vinyasa Krama Yoga is an ancient practice of physical and spiritual development. It is a systematic method to study, practice, teach and adapt Yoga. This Vinyasa Krama approach to yogasana is unique in all of Yoga. By integrating the functions of mind, body and breath in the same time frame, a practitioner will experience the real joy of Yoga practice.”
- Srivatsa Ramaswami
Understanding reality is understanding the changing nature of everything.
The sequence of asanas and their logical succession (Vinyasa) help us to gain a deeper awareness of this true changing nature of ourselves and our environment. The focused and unbroken intention that we embody at each step (Krama), linked with our conscious in- and out-breath brings us a little closer to the realisation of the process of development and constant becoming.
These profound understandings when applied in a Vinyasa Krama yoga practice and daily life, can definitely lead to great personal transformation and growth which one learns to direct toward the benefit of all sentient beings. It is clearly an immensely valuable skill to channel consious intention for the betterment of all and an even greater privilege to be able to share and impart this ability to other seekers of truth.
“The B.Yoga TT gave me the opportunity to explore my Vinyasa Krama practice, learn about the ancient Vedic philosophy of my own ancestors and connect to a beautiful community of trainees and yogis who I will always hold dear to my heart. ”

TEACHING FACULTY
DANIELA FUENTES - E-RYT 500 / YACEP
TT MAIN TEACHER & director - Teaching Techniques, Methodology & Philosophy
BA Design. Metropolitan Autonomous University, Mx City (2005)
MAS Curating. Zürich University of Arts (ZHdK), Switzerland (2014)
200HR It’s Yoga SF Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (2005)
300HR Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training Program. Rhynebeck, NY. (2008)
Jivamukti Yoga Advanced Certification Teacher Exam, Münich, DE. (2011)
Daniela is a designer/artist/curator/yoga facilitator who discovered Yoga in the late 90’s during her Design studies in Mexico City. Yoga spoke to the body’s memories of her gymnast years from early childhood and her innate spiritual curiosity. She began practicing at the age of 17 and after 20 years of practice and many different phases, Yoga practice has become a tool in her life that plays a very important role in her perspectives, relationships and creative work. Daniela has studied with many teachers and various methods of Yoga, but the most informing source to her teachings are her own yoga and creative practice, a geeky, secretive obsession on learning about the Psyche and, moreover, her curious mind.
Daniela’s classes are a mix of chants, philosophical-thought-provoking inputs with day-to-day examples, sound & breath awareness, body-intelligent flowy asana (yoga poses) sequences, hands-on assist through which you receive tremendous loads loving wisdom cultivated through her many years of practice and teaching, meditation & relaxation. You may find her connecting Yoga philosophy with Art theory one day, and then another talking about the incredible potential of Vinyasa practice on Neuroplasticity.
She likes to conceive “yogis” as random people who -as David Swenson wisely said once- leave a place a little bit better than how they found it. Advanced Yoga practice is in Daniela’s eyes reflected in one’s emotional health, that of our relationships and our capacity to see and embrace ourselves and others even in the realm of our limitations and failures, by taking self-responsability of both our outer and inner worlds. A “true yogi” grows and learns from all her life experiences and relationships, her identity is not limited, and her capacity to enjoy life and thrive expansive.
“I always enjoy Daniela’s challenging classes and how she keeps her students safe. Daniela transmits this knowledge during the teacher training journey and is always honest and generous with her feedback. ”
SARAH MAURER-
TT TEachER - Teaching Techniques, TRAINING & PRACTICE
Movement Pedagogue, GDS/IfB
200HR B.Yoga Vinyasa Krama Teacher Training 2015-16
Ever since Sarah can remember, the need for physical movement was a natural necessity for her. After spending time exploring different dance styles, she discovered yoga in 2011, thanks to friends. Through the years, it took her more and more into its spell. Not only did she become more aware of the importance of breathing, but she continued to gain deeper understanding of movements, inner and outer, for the proper development of mind and body.
The desire to share and pass on these experiences, led to her 200h Teacher Training in Vinyasa Krama which she completed in 2016 at B.Yoga. With her training as a movement pedagogue (GDS / IfB) and further education as the heart therapist of the SAKR, she has also taught gymnastics, fitness and coronary classes aside from Yoga.
Sarah’s classes are in a quiet Vinyasa style, which she likes to complete with restorative poses. It is a great privilege for her to share the joy of movement, to discover its lightness and firmness, without having to force the body to conform to an external image. According to her, it doesn’t matter if things aren’t perfect; in fact it is important to learn to accept, love and respect one’s own body and mind as they are. It is then, that yoga practice can be the time to feel alive, loved and free.

ANA ARNAZ-
METHODOLOGY: VOICE TRAINING & CHANTING
BA Opera Music. Conservatorio Nacional del Liceu de Barcelona
MA Early Music. School Cantorum Basel
I began my musical studies as a young child in a music school where the voice was the main focus of the musical education. These first years determined the course of my later career and have made me company during all my life. A lute concert in a summer workshop delighted me at the age of 22, there I discovered Early Music. Therefore, after graduating with honours from the Conservatory of Liceo in Barcelona, I decided to continue my studies in the field of Early Music with Dominique Vellard and Richard Levitt at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, in Switzerland.
I always loved and needed movement. Dance and sport were some of my parallel activities, until Yoga got my attention and help me to find a balance in life: movement, breathing and music are all one.
My curiosity and persistent questions about female repertoires in early music leaded me to become the founder of a women ensemble with early music singers Paloma Gutiérrez del Arroyo, June Telletxea and Anne Marie Lablaude. The ensemble Cantaderas interprets traditional womens’ vocal repertoires accompanied with frame drums and it will present its first CD at “As festas do Anno” in September 2019.
My work as a voice teacher is an encouragement and an important complement for my musical life, it is difficult for me to imagine a performance life without the teaching part. I love to teach and my teaching work spreads out between the Music School of the Schola Cantorum and my neighbourhood with amateur musicians. Additionally, I teach at the Hautrive Monastery in Fribourg –where the monks have offered me the great gift of their trust as a teacher and as a person– and at B.Yoga, where I always have something to learn. Thanks Basel.
I perform regularly in European festivals in France, Holland, Germany, Spain and Switzerland with Cantaderas, La Cecchina and Gilles Binchois. I also perform XX century music with the violinist Colleen Jennings, with whom I founded the ensemble Ex Luce color. I sing regularly in Switzerland with the Orchestra Crescendo performing later repertoires from Mendelssohn, Gounod, Fauré and Spohr.
“The B.Yoga Teacher Training takes you on a journey starting with reviewing important asanas including a basic anatomy review, introducing you to yoga philosophy and history and preparing you to teach students flowing yoga classes safely. You can choose how intense your journey will be depending on your own studies and practice. ”
SPECIAL GUEST FACULTY 2023 - 24
Johanna HEUSSER
Since her graduation at the HF für zeitgenössischen und urbanen Bühnentanz in Zürich, Basel based dancer Johanna Heusser *1994 is working with different companies and choreographers around Switzerland. She is teaching dance and yoga internatonally on a regular basis. Since 2016 she is creating her own works, which are shown at theaters and dance festivals around Europe. Johanna is winner of Atelier Mondial in 2018 and the winner of Double Tanz 2020 by Migros Kultur Prozent. With her first solo piece „how to do a downward facing dog?“ she was chosen in the pre-selection of the Swiss dance Days 2021 and selected to be in one of eight Salon d Artistes. She is Semi Finalist of PREMIO Switzerland 2021 and studying in the Master Expandet Theatre at HKB in Bern. For the season 2021 she is working at the Schauspielhaus Wien, choreographing the Piece COMA in collaboration with Marcel Schwald. Her latest work about Swiss wrestling was invited for the Schweizer Theatertreffen 2022.
Johanna sees her work to be at the intersection of dance and theatre. Her interest lays in cultural practices that focus on the body and its cultural connotation. She sees these practices in a sociopolitical way and finds strategies in her work to make them visible. The constant questioning of her own position as a white dancer and how the neoliberal system she is living in has an impact on her work and body is part of her work that she is passionate about. She likes ambiguities of all kinds and finds humor a good tool to speak about complicated and intertwined interactions between different players in the world.

David Regelin (NYC)
David is a traveling yoga teacher based in New York City. Sought after for his workshops and teacher's intensives, his unique talent for simple yet precise articulation of form and technique, echo in the bodies and minds of his students. As a young teacher, David was at the forefront of what became a popular trend of choreographed vinyasa classes to the sound of live music. He created the "Multi-Intenso" experience, a class that garnered a cult following in New York City. "Multi-Intenso" is a technique based, athletic and dynamic style of yoga centered around handstands. Over time, David's reflective nature and incessant personal investigation into the potential transformative powers that a yoga practice can give, has led him to a more comprehensive approach to how physical form relates to psychological and emotional states. Inclined toward the mystical and timeless, greatly influenced by intensive study with Nevine Michaan, David's practice and teaching has evolved into a more refined adaptation of how an asana (postural) practice can instigate profound mind-body awareness.
“I am so excited to develop as a Yoga teacher and I thank B.Yoga so much for their coaching and encouragement as I explore this new avenue in my life. The location and surroundings are also really beautiful and only add to the magic!”

“After practicing yoga for many years (on and off), I signed up for the Byoga teacher training because I wanted to better understand asana and flows, to explore yoga philosophy and to more deeply connect with a yoga community. Having the chance to do this in familiar territory – in the beautiful Byoga space, with the amazing Byoga teachers -was perfect for me. Because the course is intense but spread over many months, it gave me a chance for new ideas to settle, to integrate some of what I was learning into my daily life.
The course was exactly the vibrant, fun, diverse, colourful patchwork that I hoped for – sometimes eclectic, sometimes challenging, pushing us just enough out of our comfort zones and giving us a solid base which built up, week after week. At the same time as giving us a firm foundation on all the basics, each of us connected the dots in our own way, following the themes and styles that most attracted us. My fellow trainees and I got to know each other very well, through the ups and downs of our ‘normal’ lives, and we grew to trust and support each other deeply. ”
