ABOUT KARMA YOGA
You’ve probably heard of KARMA — the law of cause and effect. What you do comes back to you.
But KARMA is more subtle than that. It’s not just about action—it’s about the energy behind it. The quiet thought. The hidden intention.
KARMA Yoga is a practice of conscious movement and honest presence.It’s here to help you plant the right seeds—deep within your being.
Because what you move, moves you.

OUR VALUES
- FLUIDITYJust like the seasons and our shifting spaces, we move with life’s natural flow. KARMA Yoga embraces change, adapts with grace, and invites you to find freedom in movement—wherever you are.
- COMMUNITYYoga is more than a personal practice; it’s a shared experience. At KARMA, we hold space for connection, belonging, and collective growth. Together, we breathe, move, and support one another.
- PRESENCEEvery posture, every breath, every pause is an invitation to be fully here. Through conscious movement and honest awareness, KARMA Yoga cultivates presence—on the mat and in daily life.
OUR CLASSES
- VINYASA YOGARooted in breath and rhythm, this flowing practice invites you to explore the connection between body, breath, and awareness. Each class is intentionally sequenced to help you build strength, flexibility, and focus — while staying connected to what feels real and true for you.
Expect creative, accessible sequences infused with grounding moments of stillness, breathwork, and gentle awareness.
This is an all-levels friendly class — whether you're just beginning or deepening your practice, you are welcome here. - YIN YOGA & MEDITATIONThis Yin & Meditation class blends slow, supported Yin Yoga postures—low to the ground, deeply restorative for the body and nervous system—with guided breathwork (pranayama) and meditation.
Each posture is held for several breaths (3-7 minutes), creating space to gently stretch, improve flexibility, and ease deep layers of tension.
Accessible to all levels, the practice invites you to soften, release, and reconnect inward. The intentional weaving of movement, mindful breathing, and meditation offers space to unwind and return to a sense of balance.
WHERE KARMA YOGA LIVES
KARMA YOGA isn’t rooted in one place—because neither are you. We move with the seasons, the energy, the need.
Instead of building walls - we open doors. Instead of competition, we collaborate.
From studio spaces to pop-up sanctuaries, each class meets you where you are.

BEHIND THE BRAND
Meet Daria Lavrik, the founder of KARMA YOGA.
I didn’t always live in this rhythm. For decades, I moved through corporate corridors—meeting deadlines, chasing outcomes, living mostly in my head.
But something deep within kept whispering: there’s more. Yoga found me and held me when I needed it most. I kept returning - until it became not just a practice, but a way of being. Over time, I left the corporate world behind to share what had quietly transformed me.
Now, through KARMA YOGA, I hold space for others to come home to themselves.
Karma Yoga is my way of weaving us back together—students, teachers, studios. A gentle reminder that we do this together.
That healing, growth, and change are not solo journeys.
We move. We pause. We feel.
And through it all—we return to what’s real.
We move through life with intention.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Daria is my favorite yoga teacher in Zürich - equal parts flowing, grounding, and healing.
I have joined a few of Daria’s classes before and was very happy to join her first own yoga studio course this time! The lesson felt very calm and she brought a very welcoming atmosphere to the whole session. I’m excited to continue coming back to the space and learn more from Daria 🧘♀️🧡
Daria is absolutely an amazing teacher. She brings so much warmth, kindness, and energy into every class. I love how she always takes the time to adjust and guide so that each pose feels right and you really get the most out of your practice. She has such a giving spirit and creates an atmosphere where you feel really supported. I leave every class feeling so good, stronger in my body and absolutely zen in my mind. Can only recommend!
Each time after my yoga classes with Daria I leave relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. The atmosphere created during the classes is something magical. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in a beautiful world of yoga.
Amazing yoga classes with great atmosphere and loads of positive vibes from absolutely lovely and skilled teacher Daria! My favorite for yoga in Zurich.
A very calm and warm yoga teacher who's professional and skilled. The classes are gentle but still challenging, with a slow build-up that peaks nicely before winding down in a very relaxing way. Highly recommended!
Daria's teaching embodies presence. I am drawn to instructors who guide class in a way that allows me to feel into my experience while being guided in an intentional way. Daria has a natural ability to ground, create space for curiosity and bring mindfulness into class. The profound sense of connection I feel after class with Daria is truly invaluable to me.
I came to yoga for stretching, Daria instead guided me to ground myself and find inner peace in my busy day. Her mindful approach brought me a different headspace that was very welcome.
