We created Gentle Helsinki to be more than just a yoga studio, but a space where movement, rest, and connection come together. Our mission is to help you slow down, listen to your body, and cultivate lasting well-being.
Hi, I’m Kate — founder of Gentle Helsinki and a passionate yoga practitioner for over 13 years. Yoga came into my life when I needed it the most, and it completely changed the way I navigate difficult emotions and life’s ups and downs. Every time I feel overwhelmed, I return to my mat — it’s where I find clarity, balance, and the space to process what I’m going through.
What I love most about yoga is that it’s never just about fitness. It’s about feeling grounded, mobile, and at ease in your body. It helps build discipline while teaching you to listen to yourself and live with more awareness. Over time, this journey sparked a deep interest in holistic well-being — understanding how the body and mind work together. This curiosity eventually led me to complete my yoga teacher training in 2020, and I’m still passionate about exploring both physical and mental health today.
Our Story Begins here
I’ve always been drawn to the sense of community that forms when people move and breathe together.
That’s why I created Gentle — to bring amazing instructors and like-minded people together in a space where everyone feels supported. I believe each teacher adds something personal to our community, making every class unique.
Our mission at Gentle is to offer more than just classes. We want to create a space where people feel seen, valued, and inspired — where movement isn’t about perfection but about feeling strong, balanced, and connected. Whether you’re just starting or deepening your practice, our goal is to help you build a healthier relationship with your body and mind.
