Kathrin Jharna

Because I was often bored at a young age and always wanted to know more about the world than school taught me, I built up a broad store of knowledge and experience through trainings, courses and “life itself”.

I have been working with groups and individuals in the fields of body and mind for more than 20 years. Since the 1990s I have been exploring energy flows in the body and beyond (Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Tao Yoga after Mantak Chia, Tantra massage). I tried out various techniques and approaches to body, mind and the energy system on my own body (holotropic breathing, holistic health systems such as acupressure, reflexology, Shiatsu and more) and completed the corresponding trainings (integrative bodywork, yoga, Tao Woman – Qi Gong for women, constellation work and others).

I also completed two university degrees (Magistra in Sociology and an MBA in Social Management & Leadership) and numerous further trainings in health, leisure, sport and movement (yoga, TaoWoman – Qi Gong for women, aerobics & fitness, Pilates, Piloxing, health & vitality coach, martial arts, mental training, dance, integrative bodywork, Tantra massage from various schools and more). Looking into and learning many things has always been fun for me and reflects my wish for growth – for myself and for others.

Since 2018 I have been organising workshops, events, festivals and retreats (Tantra, Sexolution, Schwelle Retreat 2021, Expand & Connect Festival since 2022). I work and have worked for and with Austrian, German and Italian teachers in Austria and Hungary and run my own workshops (including Full Body Energy Flow Tantra Massage, Conscious Connection & Touch, Touch & Desires, Hold me tight – with Cling Film, …) in Vienna and at festivals at home and abroad. Since late 2018 I have been hosting dating events with a strong focus on self-experience (Heart2Heart Dating and Heart2Heart: Connect!) and have also been a lecturer in the Health & Vitality Coach / Health & Fitness Instructor training at the University of Vienna.

I believe that following your inner calling and doing what suits you makes you healthy, happy and successful. Accordingly, at my events I support people in feeling at ease, stepping into their own power and making an impact.

Privately I enjoy (energetically) intense experiences and love being in nature – or at least under the open sky – and moving my body.

Mission and vision: creating spaces in which people can grow, love, live and be happy.
