Ștefi Sandu
Kundalini Yoga
Somatic Work
Sound Healing
My name is Ștefi Sandu, and in recent years I have made understanding the relationship between mind and body a priority—first for my own process, and later in order to share with others the techniques that have supported me.
I studied Trauma Informed Kundalini Yoga with Sat Dharam Kaur (co-founder of Compassionate Inquiry and founder of Saibhung Institute), a Yoga Alliance accredited training, in Amritsar, India; I am currently in my second year of Somatic Experiencing® training (Peter Levine), completed Suicide Attention Training within Compassionate Inquiry, trained in sound healing with Aidan McIntyre, am a facilitator of voice through neosomatics (Andrei Pintican method), and a certified fitness trainer (Fitness Education School).
I have experienced firsthand the effects of chronic stress and came to understand how important it is to explore mind and body as an integrated whole—with gentleness, curiosity, patience, and the right people and specialists alongside us.

Kundalini Yoga

Trauma Informed | 1:1
Kundalini yoga is a deeply transformative form of yoga that combines postures, breathwork, meditation, and mantras, specifically structured to work with the nervous system. It is not about “perfection” in postures, but about how the practice feels in your body and how it can support you in everyday life.
Trauma informed means that the practice is adapted to respect your limits, your pace, and the way your body responds. We do not force, we do not apply pressure, and there is no requirement to “feel something specific.” You always have options and are constantly invited to choose what feels right for you. Safety (emotional and physical) is more important than “pushing through” a technique.
What you will experience:
• a short verbal check-in to see how you are on that day and what your needs are
• conscious breathing exercises (pranayama) adapted to your level
• a kundalini yoga kriya chosen and adjusted according to your physical and emotional state
• a period of deep relaxation (shavasana), supported by soundbath (bowls, shruti box, other instruments), for integration
• a guided meditation and/or mantra specific to kundalini yoga practice, for clarity and grounding
• a short reflection moment at the end, where you can share what you experienced or observed, if you feel like it
This is for you if:
• you are looking for a gentle, 1:1 space, adapted to your needs
• you experience anxiety, fatigue, constant tension, or difficulty relaxing
• you want to learn how to listen to your body and recognize signals from your nervous system
• you are in a therapy or self-exploration process and feel the need for a practice that addresses the body as well, not only the cognitive/verbal level

MAI.ÎNCET series
220 lei
60 min
Breath x Gentle Movement x Sound | 1:1
MAI.ÎNCET series are gentle spaces where we meet for a few moments without the intention to fix ourselves, judge ourselves, or force relaxation and healing. When we set the right container and slow the outside world down, the body and nervous system can begin their natural processes of healing and self-regulation.
Deep rest does not only mean sleep, but also moments of active pause, without distractions or artificial stimuli that disrupt the optimal functioning of the entire system.
What you will experience:
• a short verbal check-in to understand how you are in that moment and what you need
• conscious breathing exercises and meditation inspired by kundalini yoga, adapted to your rhythm and context
• gentle stretching and slow movement, with emphasis on bodily sensations and safety
• grounding exercises inspired by Somatic Experiencing
• soundbath (bowls, shruti box, handpan) for deep integration and relaxation
• a reflection moment at the end, to put into words what you experienced, if you feel like sharing
This is for you if:
• you feel there is “too much” in your mind and very little space in your body
• you find it hard to truly rest, even when you have free time
• you live mostly in a state of alert (anxiety, tension, agitation) and are looking for a space where the pace can slow down

Breath x Gentle Movement x Sound | Group
*Sessions take place once a month, in group format (max. 8 participants).
MAI.ÎNCET series are gentle spaces where we meet without the intention to fix ourselves, judge ourselves, or force relaxation and healing.
In group format, we also add the ingredient of connection: the possibility to practice in the presence of others who share similar interests, within an intimate setting.
What you will experience:
• a short arrival moment, space orientation, and setting a shared intention for the session
• conscious breathing exercises inspired by kundalini yoga, adapted to a mixed group
• slow movement and gentle stretching, suitable for all experience levels
• somatic grounding techniques inspired by Somatic Experiencing
• soundbath (gong, crystal bowls, shruti, handpan) to support relaxation and integration at the end of the session
• an optional sharing moment, where those who feel called can share impressions from the experience
This is for you if:
• you sometimes feel alone in your process
• you prefer small, intimate groups instead of large classes
• you find it hard to make time for yourself, but a clearly scheduled monthly space helps you honor your rhythm
• you want to work with your body at a slower pace, without comparison, competition, or performance pressure

Lunch Break Reset – online
44 lei
30 min
Grounding for your lunch break | Group
An online space where we gather in the middle of the day for a few minutes of breathing, grounding, and returning to the body.
Sessions take place once a week, in an open group format, allowing you to anchor this moment as a recurring ritual in your schedule.
What you will experience:
• a short arrival and disconnection from whatever you were doing before
• simple breathing exercises and body orientation practices
• 1–2 grounding techniques you can also use on your own after the session
• a gentle closing, so you can return to your day more present
This is for you if:
• you have days when you feel like you “can’t catch your breath”
• you skip your lunch break or spend it only on your phone / email
• you feel the need for a guided pause, but don’t have time or energy for a long session
• you want to introduce a small but consistent self-care ritual into your weekly schedule
Possible benefits:
• a small nervous system reset in the middle of the day
• more clarity and energy for the second part of the day
• reduced feeling of “non-stop” and suffocation during your schedule
• the beginning of a healthy habit of honoring your breaks, not just your tasks
