About Me
Moin and Namaste, my name is Tatsiana Toumel. I am the founder of MY, Matryoshka Yoga, artist, author, engineer, yoga charya with base in Hamburg.
Who am I?
"Our Heads Are Round, so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction"
I am a human. Human stands as a symbol for the earth, the earth for the solar system, the solar system for the galaxy and so on. This means that something points to the existence of something else. So every single one of us stands as a symbol for all people.
"If I am I, because I am I, and you are you, because you are you, then I am me and you are you ...
" Some reduce this to: "Be yourself".
But it's bigger than that.
We move us in relation to each other.
It is impossible for me to define myself without involving you in the equation. Whether we have come close together for a short moment or have a long-term relationship.
What I am is who you are.
We are not separated.
We define each other.
We are interdependent systems.
Who am I? I am I because you are you!
I come from a creative family. My father, engineer and journalist, taught me the love to mathematic and that creativity in mathematic is not only possible, but even essential. My mother, designer, painted fantastically and taught me the arts and crafts and art history.
Art was always around me and therefore never considered by me as a career goal. After I finished high school I chose an engineering degree, construction. I wanted to build bridges to connect people with each other. With a good diploma in my pocket, I had the best perspectives in the world of work after my studies and worked in project management for more than 20 years.
At some point, after many years, it became clear to me: this work does not fill me anymore. In January 2014, I moved to Chang Mai, Northern Thailand. In this time i hosted by a traditional Thai family. Insights into the Buddhist tradition sparked my growing interest in Far Eastern culture and philosophy. This interest took me further to Nepal, to the Himalaya Mountains and from there to India, Rishikesh, to the Vinyasa Yoga Ashram. Back in Hamburg I quit my old job and reopened myself to the future.

My life with art in yoga
Yoga means connection and I no longer have to build bridges to connect the people.
In recent years, I have taught in Germany and abroad as a yoga teacher and as an independent lecturer for TYM, Yoga Therapy and YTT. I gained my experience in international yoga schools and retreats in all departments to create to create MY own yoga retreats. I love to experiment with the environment and being in search of special energy power places around the world, suitable to the topics of MY creative yoga retreats.
I create also my own MY Methodik and give awareness and personality enhancing workshops and seminars in Hamburg and internationally and offer private coaching. Once a week I give yoga lessons for large groups in Hamburg, my karma yoga;), and once a week I teach my own Matryoshka Yoga classes for a maximum of 5 participants in my art studio. All of my knowledge in art, yoga, and contemporary awareness-raising practices flows together in MY yoga sessions. There we connect us to be a real YOGA.
My living art studio is my creative space, where most of my works and ideas spring from. As a freelance artist, I take part in various art projects, private and public competitions, group and personal exhibitions, last one in Hamburg in 2018.
I am constantly developing myself as a personality with a maximal speed i can;) and like to share my knowledge and experience with you! I like the fact that I can make people's lives happier, more qualitative, more diverse, colorful and better.
