About Eszter

Mindfulness meditation teacher and yoga instructor supporting people who want to feel more grounded, connected and at home in themselves.

I’m Eszter Farkas, a meditation and yoga instructor in Budapest. For nearly 20 years, mindfulness and yoga have been part of my  life. Today, I combine meditation, mindful movement, breathwork and a trauma-informed approach to support individuals, groups and organisations in cultivating greater steadiness and self-compassion.

From international work to yoga and meditation

Before becoming a mindfulness and yoga teacher, I spent many years working in journalism, communications and humanitarian settings, including with the United Nations. These experiences brought me close to people navigating uncertainty, pressure and profound change.

My own practice developed alongside these experiences. During challenging periods of my life, yoga and meditation gave me a way to slow down, make space for difficult emotions and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness.

What began as a personal practice gradually became my vocation. I trained with internationally recognised teachers and now share these practices with people who are looking for practical ways to meet the challenges of everyday life.

My approach: deep listening and awareness

In my yoga journey, I transitioned from the rigorous ashtanga tradition to a softer, more adaptive practice. Similarly, my meditation teaching philosophy centres on the importance of deep listening.

  • Guided by injuries and personal reflection, I teach with care.

  • I encourage mindful awareness, bodily intelligence, leading to increased emotional regulation.

  • My goal? Empower you to tune in, respond, and deepen self-compassion.

If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to get in touch and schedule a tailored session.

With consistent practice and care, we can create more space, calmness and nourishing relationships in our lives.

Meditation and yoga can help us reduce daily stress, prevent burnout, and find our centre.
