No matter where you are - there will always be light, in the sky for you to see or hidden beyond the clouds, and most importantly: You always own the light inside yourself.
Welcome to Lightful Yoga
Welcome to Lightful Yoga – great to see you here on my page. You are one step closer to doing something good for yourself.
My name is Linda and I am an internationally trained and certified yoga teacher. In my online yoga classes and personal trainings you can do something good for yourself in a holistic way: for your body, your mind and even the rather subconscious part of your soul – your inner light. With yoga you can gift yourself some time. Stepping onto your yoga mat, you connect to yourself and leave the daily stresses behind. Your body is being strengthened, your breathing is deepened and made more conscious and your mind is allowed to calm down. My classes include dynamic movements and flows as well as calming elements focusing on deeper stretches and meditations. For more information, please feel free to check below under „Yoga Classes“.
The Name
Lightful Yoga. Without light we cannot survive. It is one of the most essential sources in our lives. The energy of light influences our own inner energy. Through yoga we may connect to ourselves, to our own inner light, helping us to guide us through our lives. It is our lifelong internal source of energy. Be full of energy, fully connected to yourself, full of light.
Join me in practicing Lightful Yoga.
About Me
Hi, my name is Linda Kluever. Originally I come from the very northern part of Germany, and I am currently living only slightly more in the south, in Hamburg. I am a summer child and love the warmth, the sun and the ocean. Being able to practice yoga outside in nature – when the weather allows – definitely is a highlight for me.
My Yoga Journey
My yoga journey began several years ago. On one hand I started doing yoga for the physical reason to balance out sports such as weight training in the gym, on the other hand I felt the need to find a way to calm my mind, giving it a break from my stressful daily life working full time and additionally studying at a distance university (International Business Communication with emphasis on different languages – another passion of mine), which also took its tolls healthwise.
Over the years my own practice intensified and my focus shifted from strongly body-centered asana classes to more mindful classes integrating meditation and pranayama, breathing techniques.
I received more and more questions from friends and colleagues being interested in yoga or asking questions like „what can I do against…“ which made me realize that I would love to share more about yoga to help others get their own benefits out of it. Of course I was lacking some deeper knowledge at that time though. I became more and more interested in the background and science of yoga and decided to do a Yoga Teacher Training myself.
My international teacher training on the island of Gran Canaria was bilingual (German and English) and included Raja Yoga as well as the styles of Hatha, Vinyasa, Aerial and Yin Yoga plus meditation techniques. In October of 2020 I finished my 200 hour training with the official certificate of the American Yoga Alliance (AYA) and directly started teaching yoga afterwards (for more information on online classes please check below). Since 2022 I have also been offering lectures on yogic science with short practice units in companies to allow employees an insight into the effects of yoga (relaxation as well as ffurther benefits for body and psyche).
In 2022 I absolved my latest yoga trainings (YACEP) including a 50 hour advanced anatomy training and another 50 hour training in traditional tantric hatha yoga.
I am very interested in personal development which also extends to my yoga education as I continue to study and take part in additional ongoing trainings.

Private Classes
If you like some calm practice time just for yourself, please feel free to book a private class to get a personal training with me.
For absolute beginners and/ or certain physical restrictions it generally makes sense to start with some private classes at first. This way you can learn the basics in your individual training and also receive suitable modifications to integrate in your practice if needed.
