About

I'm Thyra-Valeska, movement teacher and founder of Move in Serenity.

My journey with chronic discomfort, burnout, and eventually a late diagnosis of autism and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome led me to creating practices rooted in nervous system work and physical resilience.

I know how it feels being unable to move and exercise despite knowing its benefits. I know the struggle of juggling chronic pain and fatigue.

I learned how to read my own body to support it alongside my mental wellbeing.

My Background

  • BA International Culture & Business Studies (Passau)

  • MA Global Security (Sheffield)

  • MSc Global Crime Justice & Security (Edinburgh)

  • UN / OSCE / Bidaya - terrorism, extremism, & radicalisation prevention (NYC / Belgrade / Waren)

  • Corsearch / Cision - client management, marketing, & brand protection

My Approach

  • Functional, trauma-informed, neuro-inclusive and adaptive.

  • Rooted in Daoist principles.

  • Not one formula. Practical tools to help you understand your body and make informed choices about movement.

Rooted in Softness

Rising in Strength

I'm trained in Daoist Flow, Rasa Yoga, Yin Yoga & TCM, Hatha, Vinyasa, Bhakti and more. Move in Serenity offers a holistic blend of Yoga, Qigong, and Somatic principles, guiding you toward embodied awareness and nervous system regulation.

Drawing from biomechanics, fascia theory, and trauma-informed principles, I offer mindful, functional practices, that can be tailored to those with hypermobility, neurodivergence, or anyone looking to reconnect to their body with care and mindfulness.
