// ABOUT KIM

Kim has been fascinated by the power of sound for many years. She has trained extensively with teachers in Zürich as well as at the Sound Medicine Institute in Germany, building a strong foundation in both the energetic and scientific aspects of sound work. Today, she shares this knowledge through sound baths and therapeutic sessions, guiding people into deep states of relaxation, release, and reconnection. With her warm and grounded presence, Kim creates safe and supportive spaces where participants can explore the transformative potential of sound, reconnect with their natural state, and restore balance in body and mind.

What has always drawn me to sound is its ability to bring us back to our natural state - to our roots, to what makes us uniquely ourselves. Sound has helped me find my true purpose and continues to support me in recalibrating during challenging times. I believe sound and vibration have the power to make us feel safe, loved, and whole. With this training, I look forward to sharing that passion, guiding you to explore your own connection with sound, and supporting you as you discover what needs to be released, restored, or remembered.

// ABOUT ANNE

Adventurous, open hearted and passionate, Anne is a Yoga and Meditation teacher and educator, and the founder of Bubble Yoga. A nerd for anatomy, she specialises in yoga therapeutics and a functional approach to yoga informed by her continuous study and fascination for the body's wonders. With over 1,000 hours of training and 4,000 hours of teaching under her belt, Anne is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with others, aiming to inspire them to believe in their own capacity to grow and know themselves, while nourishing support and connections through Community. She believes in and commits to ‘Yoga for All’.

Sound has always been my anchor - as a musician, as a teacher, as a human. It has also been part of Bubble Yoga’s DNA from the very beginning, shaping the way we hold space and create experiences. What excites me about this training is that it goes far beyond learning techniques: it’s an invitation to grow, to question, and to know yourself better. That spirit of enquiry is at the heart of all our trainings - offering tools not only for teaching, but also for personal transformation. I love how sound bridges what science explains and what still remains beautifully mysterious, a space for curiosity, wonder, release and growth.

// TESTIMONIALS

Anne is a fantastic teacher, you can sense that she loves teaching and supporting people in their growth. She has a deep knowledge of what she teaches and by using different learning techniques she make sure everyone in the group is learning and progressing. Her trainings have the right balance between practice, lecture, teaching and recharging time. The special touches she adds (change in plan to reflect what the participants need, gift bag, choice of great location, opening and closing circles etc.) makes the whole experience unique!
