Rie Friis Bertelsen
Rie has 10+ years of experience in yoga, is a certified yoga teacher (200-hour, India) and holistic healing practitioner, known for her grounded presence and radiant energy. She has taught Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga around the world, offering classes that blend movement, mindfulness, and heart.
In addition to her yoga training, Rie has completed a holistic therapy program, gaining certifications in Reiki, sound therapy, and meditation instruction, along with experience in breathwork and chakra balancing. These tools allow her to hold space for deeper healing and transformation, weaving them naturally into her teachings with intuition and care.
Rie’s spiritual path is shaped by deep personal practice, including a 10-day Vipassana silent retreat in Guatemala, which continues to inspire the stillness and depth she brings into every session.
