“Dive Into Stillness” is an invitation to explore the quiet depths beneath the surface of Yin Yoga and Sound. From the outside, the practice may appear calm, slow, and almost motionless but inside it is a deeper inward journey.

It All Begins Here
a training co-lead
by Charlène & RADA
We met years ago, quite randomly, at a Café in Zurich. I had just arrived from Berlin and I was asking strangers for yoga studio recommendations. There I met Rada, she mentioned Yoga in a Bag — and we bonded.
Fast forward to 2026: we are both teaching at Yoga in a Bag in Albisrieden. Somewhere along the way, Dive into Stillness began to take shape.
Together, we bring a shared focus on Yin Yoga, embodied practice, and the integration of sound as a supportive layer for presence and nervous system awareness.
Our approach is grounded, accessible, and intuitive, with an emphasis on clarity, safety, and depth over performance or complexity.
