“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”Fill Your Cup: On Matters of Practice
With Nina & Manuela
We’re happy to share another edition of “Fill Your Cup” with the UYA community. This time, Manuela is joined by Nina, and together they invite you for a morning filled with mindful movement and a nourishing Yoga Nidra practice & sound bath.
As the name says, this workshop is designed to fill your cup – and to foster an approach to your practice that helps you stay grounded, present, and engaged in the world. We’ll investigate why and how your practice matters – how it shapes the way you meet the changing circumstances of life.
A formal practice can serve as an anchor and a point of orientation when the world feels chaotic and overwhelming. Manuela and Nina share relevant insights into concepts rooted in Hatha Yoga and embodied anthropology.
Mindful Movement with Nina:
From an embodied anthropology perspective, the body is not just something we carry through life. It is how we learn, remember, and make sense of the world. The way we sit, stand, and move is shaped by culture, habit, and experience, and most of it happens without our noticing.
Mindfulness helps you to slow down and notice these patterns. Exploring movement lets you try something different, with curiosity rather than correction. Together, they help you trust your own body’s signals instead of only following instructions in class. A way of paying attention that you can carry into daily life.
Yoga Nidra & Sound bath with Manuela:
Translating to “Yogic sleep”, Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that follows systematic steps to gradually enable a state of deep relaxation across all layers of your body and mind. It is traditionally practiced lying down. This may also make it more accessible for anyone who finds a seated meditation practice challenging. The soothing sound vibrations of singing bowls, chimes and chants support you in releasing tension on the subtler layers of your body and mind. It is a simple yet highly effective practice that invites you to witness your own process of relaxation, leaving you feeling recharged and revitalized.

About the teachers
Manuela
Manuela began practicing Yoga around 15 years ago and has been a student of Piseth Lun since 2016. She has completed over 1100 hours of teacher training in Hatha Yoga, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Yoga Philosophy, Ayurveda and Yoga for Cancer Patients, including a continuing education diploma in Yoga Therapy from the Swiss Yoga University.
In her classes, she offers a sustainable approach to movement and encourages self-exploration and self-regulation, supporting her students in reclaiming a sense of sovereignty – in their bodies and, ultimately, in their place in the world.
“While a consistent Yoga Sadhana can bring many physical benefits, it can also help us become more present in our own lives and meet the world with kindness. The practice doesn’t happen only on the mat. It extends into our everyday lives – into the choices we make, how we express ourselves, and how we relate to others and to ourselves.”
Nina
Nina began dancing at age 4 and has been in motion ever since. Across 17 years of teaching movement and community work in Africa, Europe, and Asia, she has guided people of all ages, from refugee centers and girls’ shelters to schools and wellness studios. Her yoga practice began in Cambodia in 2015 and continued in Myanmar and Northern Thailand. She has 800+ hours of teacher training in Vinyasa, Hatha, Thai yoga stretch, and Inside Flow, and certifications in Mindfulness and Barre Fitness.
Her classes weave these practices together, grounded in embodied anthropology. She gently sets aside curriculum assumptions so that every class feels welcoming to people of any culture or background.
