Description
Hey, I'm Niko :)
I'm a mostly nomadic yoga and qigong teacher, musician and hippie at heart (because what's wrong with peace and love?). I also love to facilitate cacao ceremonies, Kirtan/singing circles, meditations, men's circles, ecstatic dances and other yummy stuff. Anything that helps myself and others get out of our heads and open our hearts a little bit more makes me happy and this world a better place, if you ask me. Life in community and close to nature is where it's at for me, and I'm trying to bring more of that into my life.
I try to travel slowly and as environmentally friendly as possible.
I am always open to new learning experiences and challenges. After finishing my masters in international relations I decided against a full time career and a well paying job, but in favour of a more adventurous and free lifestyle that allows me to explore the world and myself. I am interested in personal development, music, permaculture, philosophy, sports, meditation, salsa dancing, sustainability and many other things...
I also teach German online on the side for a few hours a week.Interests
