Kia Naddermier

Kia Naddermier has been a devoted Ashtanga practitioner for 30 years. She is the founder of Mysore Yoga Paris – a global yoga community dedicated to an embodied, wholistic approach to practice.

Kia’s teachings integrate her profound knowledge of the philosophy and practice of all aspects of yoga – asana, subtle and physical anatomy, meditation, kriyas, pranayama. 

She is one of the first – and very few – Pranayama teachers to be certified at the highest level within the Kaivalyadham lineage. Being a dedicated Dharma practitioner and a certified Mindfulness Mentor, her teaching draws extensively from both Yogic and Buddhist traditions.

Kia teaches with authenticity, clarity and generosity, making ancient practices relevant in our daily lives as a means for spiritual growth and inner healing. She offers a non-dogmatic, inclusive and creative space open for personal inquiry. Practitioners return year after year to her trainings, retreats and workshops to take part in the continuous evolution of her research, practice and teaching. Her deep love and years of dedication to all aspects of practice shines through in her warm, insightful and inspirational teaching.

When not travelling, Kia lives in Paris with her husband Magnus and two daughters Uma & Devi. She is the co-creator of the much appreciated podcast Mysore Yoga Paris - Closer Together offering free practice resources available for all.
