SLOW BUILD
A six month journey for all- new, seasoned or just-about-to-start yoga, pilates, dance, somatics teachers, sound & wellness practitioners and spaceholders who are ready to stop building alone.
I see you...
You got into this work because something called you. A call that kept showing up, no matter how many times you tried to ignore it, a knowing that what you offer can genuinely change lives. And it does. But then somewhere along the way, the gap between the value of what you give and what you receive for it started to feel sticky and uncomfortable. You’re tired of that gap, or you don’t want that gap in the first place! You’re ready to close it without compromising who you are or what you believe in.
Slow Build is six months of working closely together! Learning, practising, building and belonging to something. Not just a course but a community of teachers and practitioners who are done doing this alone.
I’m bringing 30 years of experience to this space. I’ve built a thriving yoga school from the ground up, opened and run multiple yoga and pilates studios, grown a community of thousands around the world, offered teacher trainings since 2009, and built all of it alongside raising a family from the age of 21. None of it was perfect, most was bloody hard! I like to say, I did it so you don’t have to. All of it taught me something. And I mean all of it. And I’m here to share it: the strategy, the heart, the hard-won lessons, aches, pains and the joy of building a life that actually fits you.
The philosophy behind everything we do here is from the lens of degrowth. And I don’t mean shrinking, but refusing to sacrifice wellbeing and depth for scale. Building something sustainable, rooted and genuinely nourishing. For you, your family, your community and the people you serve.
Hope to have the privilege to share this journey with you!
All the love, Satu
What we work, or can work, on together
How to find and attract the people you’re truly meant to serve.
How to position your work so it’s recognised and valued.
How to price with confidence and without guilt, and how to build accessible, inclusive payment structures so that financial barriers never become the reason someone can’t access what you offer.
How to build a loyal, engaged community around what you do.
How to dissolve imposter syndrome and the stories that keep you playing small.
How to open, run and grow a studio, school, retreat center, community space, online platform or practice etc. that sustains you.
How to hold a teacher training that changes people’s lives.
And how to do all of this while also being a full human being... a sensing, feeling body and a life you actually want to live.
There are solid themes and plans but we can shift as we go and get to know each other.
What’s included
This comes up to a possibility of over 50 hours with Satu and the community LIVE!
- 13 live themed Monday sessions on zoom with Satu and community across six months- 90 minutes each (all recorded), with two time options (morning and afternoon), so wherever you are in the world, you can join.
- Summer 2h co-working sessions twice a month on Wednesdays on zoom! Opportunity to share “breakout rooms” with community members with similar ideas, tasks, themes etc. and get time-boxed support from Satu in these rooms.
- 6 Wednesdays of 2h Slow build- coaching sessions in focused, theme-based smaller groups (5-8 people) from September to end of November with Satu and sometimes special guests!
- Personal relationship with Satu through discord to get support in more personal processes regarding your career etc. during scheduled time-slots.
- 14+ live online practice sessions with Satu. You can join whichever session works for you that is offered live during this time. You can join all that is offered during this time. Usually they are Friday mornings, Wednesday evenings or Sunday mornings, with recordings available if life gets in the way.
- A complete ON DEMAND myofascial release/ relief course with Satu, because sustainable growth starts with taking care of yourself too! (You’d be fine with 2 tennis balls but one Yamuna ball to purchase would be great!)
- A recorded guided morning Sadhana/seated practice (45min) and a somatic yoga nidra recording to support your inner life through the process.
- Community discord group
- Community gathering (4h) on DECEMBER 19th 2026
- 10% discount for an Astro chart reading with our very own astrologer wizard Silvana “Sisa” Saveri.
And most important of all- a community of peers who get it and who are on the same path, holding the same values, building their own version of a slow, beautiful, sustainable life in this work.

Investment
Accessibility and inclusivity have always been at the heart of how I work. I believe that financial barriers should never be the reason someone can’t access support, community, and real tools for building a sustainable livelihood. Slow Build runs over six months, more than 50 hours of possible live group time together with me, and at €999, that works out to under €20 an hour. Flexible payment options are available so the investment can fit your reality.
6 monthly payments of €167 (This is equivalent to my private session or 1 therapy session / monthly card in a studio)
or
Pay in full €999
(paypal is possible also, email us!)
Other options possible too and If you are facing genuine financial hardship, please reach out before the doors close.

A small number of reduced rate places are available for those who need it. No lengthy explanation required just an honest conversation.
