What others say about me:
"Ilka Schröder is a yoga teacher with a difference. With her gentle humour and positive manner she never places herself above the student, but takes you along for a wonderful ride into a flow of powerful poses. At the end of the session you emerge so relaxed with your whole body smiling and you feel like you could do it all over again!"
Jan Cornall, Sydney
"Ilka has found her calling as a yoga teacher. She uses humor, clear explanations, and her singing voice to take yoga novices to places they never expected to go. She managed to make yoga both fun and spiritual, and her use of the Sanskrit words took our sessions to another dimension. Doing yoga as a group of writers, I felt that this helped to bond us, and also to ground us for the day ahead. Outdoor yoga was a revelation, with a sense of being part of nature. She has made me want to continue with yoga, and has given me the basic tools to do this. She is very patient and never pushes anyone beyond their capabilities, yet inspires people to try so much more than they thought that they were capable of."

"I met Ilka at AlpenRetreat in Tyrol and was fortunate enough to have my very first AcroYoga experience with her and to fly with her fully trusting! I was so taken by the experience as well as by her dynamic vinyasa classes, in which she always showed a clear concept through her playful and trusting nature and always with a smile on her face. Through Ilka I have been introduced to mantra singing. Wonderful! I am so grateful for this encounter."
Jill Dessen, Vienna
"This was a mega-amazing weekend... I have always been impressed by Ilka's high quality outdoor yoga classes and though this weekend retreat I had the chance to go even deeper with new insights and joy. Again, I was able to learn more about myself and got home empowered and fully energized. A complete reset. Amazing! I am looking forward to another yoga weekend with Ilka and this time I will bring a couple of friends along."
Kerstin Möller-Schulz, Germany
"Dear Ilka, Thank you so much. I'm so grateful for the incredible time we had with you in Bellingen. It was a game changer for me. I feel much more confident in my yoga practice from your teachings. I wish I could see you every week just so I can do the handstands with the chair and realize my bodies potential in a safe environment."
Kathy Crossing, CampCreative
"Thank you for sharing so many pearls of wisdom and so much light with us."
Jemah Day, Bellingen
"I joined Ilka's Weekend Retreat on the Island of Fehmarn in 2017 and got to know a very sensitive, patient, musical and charismatic yoga teacher. With a good sense of humour and a lot of charisma Ilka lead us through 90-min yoga classes that just flew by. At our joint dinners she would tell us exciting stories from her times in India amongst other places. It was my first yoga retreat and I hope Ilka will offer many more. I have even joined Facebook again to not miss this contact and be informed about all of Ilka's offerings."
Sandra Hause, Germany
"Thank you so much for the AcroYoga workshop. I feel I have learnt so much in such a short amount of time."
