Sabrina Hilchner
Yoga & Somatic Bodywork (Pantarei Approach)
ABOUT ME
Hi. I'm Sabrina and with great enthusiasm a Yoga teacher and Pantarei Approach practitioner.
Even as a child I was very interested in touch. My partners for this were our dogs and my horse, and so there were hours of massages, which allowed me a different kind of communication.
Here you can learn a little about my way - what I did back then, how I came to Yoga and the Pantarei Approach, and what my path in this field looks like so far.
​
The time before yoga
​
With a degree in International Business with a focus on marketing in my backpack, I went to Berlin for a 6-year job at Universal Music, where I was able to work in various positions and gain a lot of different experiences.
This was followed by a year of sales in the area of online marketing at Plista.
​
At a certain moment during my career, however, I knew that this was not my world. It took time (a few years!) and various internships and mini-jobs, in the fields of speech therapy, funeral services and jewellery production to find out where I belonged.
My Yoga and Pantarei Approach Path
​
The initiating moment came when, after a week of headaches, I ended up at a Pain Release Massage, which was based on a somatic bodywork approach. After the session the headache was gone and I had incredible clarity and knew THIS is what I want to do. That moment gave me the final, decisive kick to turn my life around. One thing led to another, and so I was registered for the inaugural Pantarei Approach training.
That was also the moment when I decided to do a Yoga teacher training.
In the previous years I had come across Yoga again and again, I had been to different courses in Berlin, got to know different teachers and styles and regularly took part in the company Yoga classes.
However, I really fell in love with Yoga when spending a month by myself on La Gomera. There, I was able to take private classes, from which I took my very own daily practice. And it was so unbelievably good. The power and deep effect of Yoga became noticeable and clear to me.
After a lot of research and conversations with trained Yoga teachers, I decided to train with Element Yoga in Berlin, which turned out to be very right and which fit so wonderfully with the Pantarei Approach.
Portugal
​
The changes in my life continued and I ended up in Portugal, where I did another great Yoga teacher training with Globalmanu in Lisbon, which gave me more knowledge, new approaches and also a great overview of Yoga for surfers and athletes.
For a year I went back and forth between Berlin and Lisbon, until I finally moved to Lisbon at the end of 2017.
After nine years in Berlin, however, I had to realise that I have had enough of city life.
And so, after an exciting year in Lisbon, I went up to the north of Portugal. Here in beautiful Moledo, I teach and really enjoy the connection to nature and a generally slower lifestyle.
