About Us
Sense and Presence was born from our shared love for devoted practice, honest connection, and the quiet power of being fully here.
We are Adriana and Krystsina—friends, teachers, and longtime practitioners based in Zurich. Together, we hold space for those who feel ready to move beyond the surface of their practice and into something more embodied, more personal, and more real.
Together, we bring a blend of structure and sensitivity, precision and softness, curiosity and care. With backgrounds in dance, yoga, and personal healing, we’ve spent years developing a practice that is rooted in embodiment, presence, and honest exploration.
Adriana’s work is shaped by intuitive movement, intelligent sequencing and emotional depth. Her sensitivity allows her to hold space with clarity and compassion, inviting others into deeper connection with themselves and their experience.
Krystsina brings a grounded, embodied and disciplined presence to the work, drawing from her own journey with chronic pain and physical healing. She guides students with steadiness and lightness, encouraging strength while honoring the body’s natural limits.
We create spaces that are clear, intentional, and real, spaces where practitioners are met fully, invited inward, and supported in going further.
Our Vision
At the heart of Sense and Presence is a commitment to real, embodied growth.
We envision a community of practitioners who are not only seeking depth in their practice but who are also willing to meet themselves fully along the way. Our work is for those who are ready to explore the edges of their comfort, open to guidance, and committed to honest self-inquiry.
We believe that transformation happens when awareness meets choice. When we realize that we always have the power to respond differently, to pause, to feel, to realign, and when we take responsibility for how we move through the world. This kind of change doesn’t come from force, but from consistent attention, personal accountability, and deep self-compassion.
Our vision is to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves through the body, through presence, and through the natural world. Where showing up exactly as you are is the starting point for everything.
As we continue to grow, we hope to offer more retreats, trainings, and experiences that support this kind of work: intentional, honest, and fully alive.
Our intention is to offer experiences that feel real:
Anchored in nature.
Held with care.
And open to everything that arises along the way.
