Hi, I’m Eva Estlander

My name is Eva Estlander, and I am a yoga teacher, sound healer, retreat leader, and wellness entrepreneur dedicated to helping others find more balance, vitality, and joy in their lives.

With over 13 years of experience leading yoga classes, sound baths, international retreats, trainings, and wellness experiences, I bring depth, presence, and intuition to every space I hold. Since beginning my teaching journey in 2013, I have guided hundreds of students across continents through transformative practices that support the body, mind, and spirit.

I am a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), a YACEP educator, sound bath facilitator, mentor, and founder of the Soma & Sound® Academy and Method. I teach fluently in Finnish, Swedish, English, and Spanish, and work with both private clients and groups internationally.

My work is rooted in a deep passion for yoga, sound healing, spirituality, embodiment, and personal growth. I believe in the power of kindness, intention, and energy — that what we put out into the world matters.

I grew up in Helsinki, Finland, but always felt drawn to a life closer to the ocean. After earning a Master’s degree in Economics from the Hanken School of Economics, I made a life-changing decision: I left my career in marketing, packed my bags, and moved to Sayulita, Mexico, a small surf town on the Pacific coast.

While writing my thesis on wellness tourism and consumer behaviour, I founded a surf and yoga retreat company, which was also where I discovered my love for branding, experience design, and creating meaningful spaces for transformation.

After more than six years in the tropics — leading retreats, working in wedding and event production, and contributing to the wellness world within luxury hospitality — I returned to Finland. Today, I am based in Helsinki, while continuing to lead retreats, trainings, sound healing experiences, yoga classes, and corporate wellness sessions in Finland and around the world, including in Sayulita, Mexico.

I also host wellness events, yoga teacher trainings, sound healing trainings, and corporate wellness experiences, and create bespoke sessions for private groups and companies. Whether you are looking for a sound bath in Helsinki, a yoga class for your event, a corporate wellness session, or a transformational retreat abroad, I would love to connect.

My Yogic Journey

My yogic path started with Ashtanga. Some years later after an ankle injury, I started feeling more drawn to other styles. Today, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, sound healing, and embodied spiritual practice are closest to my heart.

As a yoga teacher, sound healer, and founder of the Soma & Sound® Method and Academy, I bring together dynamic movement, deep restoration, and the transformative power of sound. My classes blend the strength, flow, and vitality of Vinyasa Yoga with the grounding, nourishing energy of Yin Yoga, creating a practice that supports both body and mind.

In a typical class, you’ll experience flowing movement, mindful alignment, and space to slow down and listen inward. Students often describe my teaching style as gentle, intuitive, and supportive. I always aim to meet each person where they are and offer practices that honour individual needs. My classes are designed to build strength, improve flexibility, regulate the nervous system, and inspire a deeper connection to self.

I believe yoga is a lifelong path of learning, which is why I remain devoted to being both a teacher and a student.

To me, yoga is about more than physical practice. It is a way of coming into alignment with your highest self, so you can live with greater clarity, presence, and purpose.

Over the years, my work has expanded beyond yoga into sound healing, the subtle body, the chakra system, resonance, lunar wisdom, and the Divine Feminine. This evolution eventually led me to create Soma & Sound® — my own signature method and academy, where I share an integrative approach to healing that weaves together embodiment, sound, nervous system awareness, and spiritual practice.
