Meet our Team
Oliver
Oliver grew up in a buddhist center with yogic values. He first started with martial arts from the age of nine. He became a 2 time world champion in Ashihara Karate first as a junior and later as a senior. After many years of intense training his body needed a break and he found yoga and meditation to heal his ailments and to calm his mind.
Oliver has a great passion for music, dance, acting and different kinds of performance art.
He completed his 500h teacher training in Rishikesh India in 2018.
Dayna
Dayna is a devoted enthusiast of movement and meditation. Her practice celebrates the connection of the body and mind by exploring awareness in breath, balance, and flow. Since 2020, Dayna has been sharing her comforting and infectious energy, guiding her students to embrace their practice in the nurturing space she curates for self-indulgence and the exploration of stepping out of one's comfort zone.
Johanne
Johanne has always loved moving with her body. Her heart resonates particularly with yoga, running, CrossFit, climbing, and kitesurfing.
In her role as a teacher, Johanne's guiding mantra is to encourage individuals to listen to their bodies and move with uninhibited freedom. She fervently opposes rigid rules or the notion of conforming to any specific appearance ideals. It is precisely this philosophy that draws her to teaching in her current environment, as the unique dim blue room of our studio provides an ideal platform for fostering this mindset.
ELLIE
Ellie’s yoga journey began 8 years ago with an initial focus on movement and physical well-being, but this gradually grew into a fascination with the mental aspects and psychological benefits of yoga, which began to play a decisive role in her everyday life, acting as a safe space and grounding element. Ellie is intrigued by philosophical teachings and is especially inspired by eastern philosophy and how to implement the ancient elements of yoga into our modern lifestyles. She loves to connect and share her practice with others, feeling a sense of community, being creative and dance. She completed her 200 hr. YTT in Indonesia early in 2022 and has been teaching while traveling around Asia. Now, she is excited to continue her teaching journey here in Copenhagen. She enjoys doing creative sequencing with a curious attitude toward exploring the body and adding some playful elements in her yoga practice.
SARA
Sara grew up in Norway, where she spent most of her adolescence studying dance and acting. Today she is an actress, director, as well as a yoga and drama teacher, living in Copenhagen with her little family. She has been teaching yoga the past 5 years and got her 500 hour certified training from Matt Giordano’s Chromatic Yoga Teacher Training.
Sara’s teaching combines her vast knowledge of yoga, acting and dance with her passion for art and her curiosity for psychology and philosophy. Her yoga classes are systematic and well- thought out, as well as fluid and creative. Sara passionately believes in facilitating a safe space where her students can connect, express themselves and thrive.
MALIKA
Malika, born and raised in Berlin, started practising yoga to balance her martial arts training. What started as a complimentary practice turned into a passion. Malika has been practicing yoga for over ten years now, falling in love with the benefits for both body and mind. She completed her 200 hr YTT in Thailand in 2019 and her 500 hr YTT in Greece in 2022. Her yoga practice combines strength and flexibility with a focus on finding an equilibrium between body and mind on and off the mat.
DEA
At the age of 16, Dea discovered yoga and instantly developed a deep passion for both the practice itself and the strong sense of community it fosters. She embarked on her journey as a yoga teacher in Mexico, where she obtained her 200-hour certification. Since then, Dea has continued to expand her knowledge and skills by completing additional trainings, including Mandala Vinyasa and Yin with The Yoga People.
For over 8 years, Dea has been sharing her expertise in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yin at various yoga studios across the globe. Through her teaching experiences, she has gained profound insights about herself and finds great joy in guiding others through their own practice. Dea's enthusiasm is particularly ignited by the physical and mental benefits of yoga, with a special fondness for inversions.
RINGAILE
A major part of Ringaile’s life has been her dedication to body movement through dance, fitness and extreme sports. Physical activities are definitely her ultimate favorite things to do. She began her journey at the dance studio exploring various styles before setting her foot at a yoga studio for the first time 7 years ago. Yoga became her daily practice in which she learned the power and beauty of connecting the mind and body. In 2019, she completed her Yoga Alliance 200 RYT in India.
NINA
Born and raised in Paris, Nina practiced ballet and modern jazz for over 10 years. While completing her psychology degree, she discovered the benefits of yoga in Los Angeles, finding the perfect way to bind mental health and physical strength. After completing a Yoga Alliance 500 hr RYT in Thailand, she eventually founded her own studio in Copenhagen. Music plays an essential role in her life and lies at the heart of Rive Gauche: to offer everyone a physical, immersive, and introspective experience.

I was hired by the owner, Nina, for a small contracting job, as well as making some furniture for the studio.
From the start, i was welcommed with open arms and a smile, and treated with a spare key and as much coffee as i could stomach.
When I came to deliver the two, quite hefty, pieces of furniture, both Nina and her employees got up to lend a hand.
To top it all off, invoices were paid off before time.
I will gladly recomend any tradesperson, who takes joy in their job, to take on assignments in Rive Gauche 😊.

The best Yoga studio I have been to, it brought my Yoga practice to another level. The super friendly and international community made me feel very welcome. Every teacher is absolute amazing in their own ways, the combination between blue lights and loud music is absolute fantastic and unique. The studio is super well equipped, the little snack after class, towels and cosmetics you can use made me feel like home. Big recommendation to try out classes, my favourite was Flow on the Beat - it is so much fun!

Absolutely in love with this place: the people, the atmosphere, the flows and the music. Nina is a natural at aligning amazing and hardcore power flows with the playlists and her weekly specials are so much fun. Ringaile gives the most amazing workouts and has an energy like no other. I cannot stress my recommendation for the team at Rive Gauche enough!

I'm so happy I found this yoga studio. The classes are the perfect balance of challenging and considered. The studio is beautiful, the community is lovely, and the combination of darkness and music is so soothing. I feel like a new person every time I leave. Unsure whether to tell all my friends, or selfishly keep it my own wonderful secret 😀

Wide variety of classes at an affordable price. All the teachers are lovely 💙 They have discounts for students like me and you can always stay after class working or studying in the lounge area.
