If you’ve ever felt unsure teaching pregnant students…
this training changes that.

Our Yoga for Pregnancy Teacher Training gives you clear, practical tools to confidently guide women through pregnancy, birth preparation, and beyond.

You’ll learn:
– what is safe (and what is not)
– how to structure classes
– how to support different bodies in real situations
– how to teach beyond just poses

This is a hands-on, small group training — so you don’t just learn, you actually integrate.

And when you finish, you won’t be guessing.
You’ll be ready to teach.

Some tools don’t look like much — until you feel what they do.

For over 15 years, we’ve used the Three Minute Egg as part of our practice. A simple, intelligent tool that reveals a completely different layer of awareness in the body.

It supports you where you need it —
and opens what you couldn’t access on your own.

Not widely known.
But deeply felt.

✨ Meet Maeve ✨

At the heart of Maeve’s teaching is a deep curiosity about this human experience — and how we can live it more fully.

Yoga, for her, isn’t about giving answers.
It’s about discovering your own.

Through years of practice since the age of 16, she has learned that what happens on the mat reflects how we move through life. And within that reflection lies something powerful:
awareness, honesty, and the courage to live in alignment with what is true for you.

Her classes invite you into that exploration —
not to become something else, but to meet yourself as you are.

As human as you are.

Join her classes:

🗓 Tuesdays 17:00 — Align & Shine
🗓 Saturdays 11:00 — Purna Groundwork

You also see her as an occasional substitute, as an online model and in class practicing

Come practice with Maeve 🤍

Becoming a pregnancy yoga teacher is not about teaching poses.

It’s about learning how to support women through one of the most transformative times in their lives.

This training is based on the Birthlight approach, developed by Françoise Freedman, and offers an experiential journey from pregnancy to birth and beyond.

You’ll learn how to:
– guide safe, effective practices for each stage
– understand the body during pregnancy and labour
– support both individuals and groups
– offer tools for birth that go beyond mainstream yoga

But most importantly —
work skillfully with the needs of each individual

Where women feel safe and at ease
Where confidence is built step by step
Where meaningful connection can happen

This is not just a training.
It’s a way to make a real difference.

✨ Marjaana Mäkelä ✨

A longstanding pillar of Purna Yoga Helsinki, Marjaana represents depth, continuity, and true devotion to the practice.

Her teaching is shaped by years of dedicated study in Purna Yoga and Yin/Yang Yoga, and refined through the guidance of teachers such as Angela Farmer and Aadil Palkhivala.

With a quiet precision and unwavering presence, she creates classes rooted in alignment, safety, and profound ease — where practice becomes both intelligent and deeply restorative.

Her "Yin Relax Deluxe" is known as one of the most restorative experiences in the studio — a complete melt into supported postures.
Less doing, more undoing. A space to listen deeply, soften the nervous system, and allow true recovery to happen.

Especially supportive during stress, for chronic pain, or when the body simply needs to be held and restored.

Living between Helsinki and the Greek islands, Marjaana also curates retreats where yoga meets nature in its most refined form.

A teacher of rare consistency — and a presence of pink joy that defines the essence of our studio.

Curious about the Yoga Wall?

When approached with understanding, the wall becomes a precise and intelligent tool —
not for forcing flexibility, but for revealing alignment, strength, and awareness.

In this Yoga Wall Training, we explore:
• the refined use of props
• clear and intelligent alignment principles
• strength developed without strain
• how the wall meets and supports different bodies

Designed for teachers and dedicated practitioners
seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of asana.

Do you smile because you are happy, or are you happy because you smile?

New research suggests that it may actually work the other way around — happiness can be the result of smiling, not just the cause of it. Even a simple, conscious smile can gently shift your mood.

There are many kinds of smiles, but the ones that come from within — those are the ones we truly feel.

✨ Practicing with us is about smiling from the heart.

If Purna Yoga has ever touched you deeply… it’s because of Aadil & Savitri.

Everything we share at Purna Yoga Helsinki comes from their teachings.

Aadil first came to Finland around 2008. In 2011, I found the studio I now run — and was instantly hooked. Since then, his guidance has shaped everything I teach, every detail I value.

What many don’t know is that he also helped develop the Great Yoga Wall and countless therapeutic tools. His depth, and lifelong dedication as a student of B.K.S. Iyengar, is deeply respected.

And now, he needs our support.

We recently received difficult news about Aadil’s health and therefore would like to invite you to a BENEFIT DONATION BASED CLASS during Easter.

You can find more details in our newsletter or read his daughter message directly under Zenia Palkhivala on facebook.

Our story

Purna Yoga Helsinki opened its doors under Tove Palmgren. Tove had brought Ashtanga yoga to Finland in the 90’s and brought Purna Yoga in 2010.

In 2011 Nicola came to the studio for the first time and fell in love with it immediately. Her studies with yoga were focused on Hatha and pre-and postnatal yoga so she started teaching prenatal yoga classes at Tove’s place. Curious about this new system she took their 200- hour Purna Yoga teacher training in 2012.

In 2015 the studio was lucky to gain two new teachers with Eva and Gabriel and soon the three with Nicola became 500- hour Purna Yoga trainees under the masters guidance of Aadil Palkhivala and the Purna Yoga College Finland.

Big changes happened in 2017 when Nicola took over the studio and found another one of her passions. Helping more and more people to find joy in their lives and running a small business. Purna Yoga Helsinki is and always was a joyful community of likeminded people who have a bigger aim in their life.
