Heidi Ulrich
YOGA TEACHER AND STUDIO OWNER
Move.
Breathe.
Return.
Yoga that meets you where you are. A practice grounded in attention, exploration and intelligent movement guiding you to listen more closely, move more consciously, and live fully present. Awareness over intensity. Intention over mindlessness. Presence over performance.
Classes
Practice with Heidi
Heidi teaches at several well loved studios across Zurich, as well as at her own studio in Nyon. Beyond group classes, she offers private one-to-one sessions tailored entirely to you, and corporate classes brought directly to your workplace.
This is not about performance or achieving fitness goals, it is about how you move through your life when you are fully immersed in it. Your stronger, mobile body is the beginning of a more balanced and joyful life.

Privates
One-to-one yoga offers the luxury of complete personal attention. Each session is tailored to your body, needs and goals — allowing for faster progress, deeper understanding, and a practice adapted to your mobility, strength, posture and lifestyle. Without the pressure of keeping up, you move with greater confidence and ease.
Corporate
Yoga sessions designed specifically for the workplace — an effective pause in the workday to reset, recharge and restore focus. Through breath, mobility and mindful awareness, employees decompress, improve concentration and return to work with renewed clarity and energy. More than movement, it is a strategic reset.

Retreats
Step away. Go deeper
Adelboden Retreat
The Cambrian Hotel, Adelboden · 11–14 March 2027
Spring Awakening Retreat
Soul Valley, Sardinia · 1–8 May 2027
Take a break from yourself.
A retreat is an invitation to step out of daily roles and responsibilities and return to what is essential.
With a co-teacher, Heidi offers a considered balance between physical practice and space for reflection. The focus is on clarity, presence, and allowing experience to unfold without excess instruction.
Set in carefully chosen, quiet locations, the days are simple and unhurried — time to move, rest, and reset.
You return with more space, clarity, and ease — and often with connections that continue beyond the retreat itself.

About
Heidi is a Swiss-Australian yoga teacher, former professional ballet dancer, and co-founder of Yoga Moves Nyon, established in 2012.
With over 16 years of yoga teaching experience, Heidi's approach is rooted in our innate wisdom of the body and mindful awareness. She teaches from an authentic and intuitive place, offering clear guidance while creating space for students to explore their practice without feeling overwhelmed by too much instruction.
Her classes blend functional mobility, strength, and mindful awareness, and include Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, Hatha, and Yin Yoga. She is also a teacher trainer, having led three Hot Yoga teacher trainings. Influenced by the teachings of Jimmy Barkan, Max Strom, Josh Summers, Bernie Clark, and Jason Crandell, her classes are designed to help students build intention, curiosity, resilience, and the skills to find balance and more joy in each moment.
What people say…
Heidi has been teaching me for 6 years and I have loved every single class. Her teaching is like no other, offering a perfect mix of grace and grit. Because she has a deep understanding of the body, her cues are worded and timed just right, getting us to reach our edge while cultivating a healthy "respect your limits" inner voice. A 90 minute class flies by thanks to Heidi's unique ability to balance predictable repetitions (get ready to hold that half moon!) that let you lose yourself in the flow, and creative new sequences that keep you in a state of discovery.

Heidi is THE reason I went from “I’ll try one class” to showing up at least three times a week. As a complete beginner, I couldn’t have asked for a better first teacher — she took me under her wing, kept it fun, and somehow made challenging feel addictive. Heidi spots every movement, offers just-right adjustments, and cheers you on before, during, and after class. The result? Real physical strength, mental clarity, and a practice I genuinely LOVE. Heidi is a consummate professional and her warmth, humour, and genuine care for each individual set her apart - she doesn’t just teach yoga to an incredibly high standard, she changes lives.

Scott, student at BodyArt
Heidi has been my yoga teacher for well over a decade, and she is truly talented and inspiring. A former professional ballet dancer, she has an exceptional understanding of physical structure and movement mechanics. She is uniquely gifted at guiding students with precision and genuine encouragement - one is clearly in the hands of a consummate professional.
Over ten years of practice with her, I have moved through periods of varying focus. I have always felt both supported and challenged. She is beautiful and graceful on and off the mat.

Melinda, student at Yoga Moves Nyon
I just want to say how much we enjoyed the week at La Serrania - (for the second time)!
You both made us feel very welcome, and your attentiveness, tolerance, compassion and the sense of freedom you induced made a lasting impression.
You are both such lovely ladies in every sense - a real pleasure to be with. You have given us wonderful memories of our long languorous days, luxuriating in the Mallorcan wilderness, stretching our bodies and minds in such congenial company. It was Absolutely Fabulous !!
Thank you again!

When I first moved back to Zurich, I checked out different yoga studios.
The turning point was Heidi Ulrich’s class at BodyArt, which made me decide to join that studio. I am now in my third year of attending classes by Miss Ulrich. Her teaching, her knowledge and experience in various yoga styles is something else…
Her ability to motivate the class by her teaching and guidance, by helping and correcting us and by conveying her profound knowledge of yoga and its meaning far beyond the aspects of exercise and yoga poses are very special. Heidi Ulrich’s sense of humour which she includes in her teaching is just so refreshing and inspiring.
She brings people and students together at BodyArt classes, but very much also during her amazing yoga retreats. I was fortunate to join Heidi Ulrich and her yoga partners from YogaMoves in Nyon to her last year’s winter retreat in Adelboden followed by a spring yoga retreat in Mallorca.
On both occasions we were completely different groups, but the enjoyment and the sense of belonging were equally great, all this along fantastic, passionate teaching by Ms. Ulrich and her yoga partners. The spirit, no doubt, was instilled by Heidi Ulrich and her partner’s efforts. The energizing morning classes and the relaxed evening routines and rituals were well thought through by Ms. Ulrich.
I can only recommend anyone to Heidi Ulrich’s classes - I feel very fortunate to be part of her group. She makes a real difference in my life.

I have had the pleasure of attending two of Heidi’s yoga retreats in Mallorca, and both experiences have been truly wonderful.
Heidi creates such a welcoming, calm and supportive environment where everyone feels included, whatever their level of yoga experience. Her teaching is thoughtful, intuitive and inspiring — she guides you with expertise while encouraging you to listen to your own body.
The combination of beautiful surroundings, mindful movement, relaxation and Heidi’s genuine care made these retreats something very special. I came away feeling stronger, more balanced and completely recharged.
Heidi has a rare ability to create a sense of community as well as a deeper connection to yoga. I would wholeheartedly recommend her retreats to anyone looking for a meaningful and restorative experience

Jules, Mallorca retreat guest
Heidi is simply outstanding! She brings warmth, humour, and a thoughtful spiritual touch to every class, and no two sessions are ever the same. Her gift for adapting seamlessly to all levels, from total beginners to advanced yogis, is rare, makes you feel good and is truly enjoyable. After several years with her, the progress I've humbly made in balance and flexibility speaks for itself.
