Read Adriana's storyPeople who move with NOYA
NOYA is shaped by the people who move with it.
In studios, at home, outdoors, on retreat.
Different practices. Different spaces. Different ways of returning to the mat.
Annika Isterling
Annika has practised yoga for twenty-three years and still sits to meditate first thing every morning. Everything else changes: jump rope one week, long Yin holds the next. She doesn't think one practice fits a whole life.

Ilke Aldemir
Ilke teaches Pilates across Dubai, though she'd rather be outdoors, a beach, a trail, a patch of grass. She's built her practice alongside scoliosis and chronic back pain. She wants the quiet and the adrenaline both. She won't choose.
