Lila Vase Body Work

Let’s flow together.

At Lila Vase, I offer one-on-one sessions using the Pantarei Approach. Pantarei Bodywork is an embodied coaching practice that combines touch and dialogue. Your experience is at the center, exactly as it unfolds in the present.

book your session

When dialogue meets touch, something new and uniquely yours comes to life.

Why bodywork?

The body is always in the present moment.
It can hold multiple emotions at once – even seemingly contradictory ones.
When we connect with our sensations, movement happens – and change becomes possible.

Pantarei Bodywork supports you in gaining clarity, releasing tension, reconnecting with your feelings, and fully unfolding your potential. Each session is individually tailored to you and follows your own pace.

A session according to the Pantarei Approach

Each session begins with a conversation, where you share what is moving you and I offer empathic reflections. This is followed by bodywork: through mindful touch and conscious sensing, a safe and attentive space is created for whatever arises. Your nervous system can settle, emotions are embodied, and stagnant energy can begin to flow again.

Somatic work unfolds as a process: it’s less about immediate solutions and more about moving at your own pace, gradually exploring and embodying your sensations.

My philosophy & Trauma Sensitivity

I meet you with presence, curiosity, and compassion – on equal footing. Trauma sensitivity is especially important to me, as many of us carry experiences stored in the body. I work mindfully and resource-oriented, based on training in trauma therapy and nervous system regulation, including at the GAP Institute (Marburg) and Lumos Transforms (San Francisco, USA).

Bodywork can be deeply transformative – it invites you to embrace your uniqueness with kindness and experience yourself in a new way.

What can I expect in a session?

Arrival & Conversation
We begin with a conversation: In a safe and supportive space, we explore together what is currently moving you. Through empathetic questions, you gain space for yourself and your experiences – and to clarify your focus for the session.

Bodywork on the Table
Here, your body is actively involved: You lie on a massage table in comfortable clothing, and I guide you through mindful touch to help you connect with what has been shared. Throughout the session, we remain in contact and explore your concerns together through breathing, movement, and touch. Your body awareness becomes an active part of the process, and you are invited to come into your feelings within a held and safe space. We navigate this process together.

Integration & Outlook
At the end, there is a brief period of rest and integration while I step out of the room. Afterwards, we summarize the session and discuss possible next steps.

Where does the session take place?

I offer hands-on sessions at the Lila Vase Studio, located at Bebelstraße 130 in Stuttgart West. The studio is easily accessible by public transport via the U-Bahn stops “Vogelsang” or “Herderplatz” or the bus stop “Herbsthalde.”
Online sessions take place in a digital space – you will receive more information upon registration.

Duration of a session

The first session lasts 1–1.5 hours, and all subsequent sessions are 1 hour each.

No. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and feel at ease.

How often can I come to sessions?

You can start with an initial single session to get to know me and my approach at your own pace.
If you wish to continue, you have the option to book packages of 3, 6, or 10 sessions.

Bodywork is process-oriented: changes happen step by step, at your own pace, and are often deeply anchored in the body. Regular sessions help your body and nervous system relax, release old patterns, and experience lasting transformation. Each package is designed to suit your individual needs – both in terms of content and the rhythm of the sessions.

After completing a package, you can book individual follow-up sessions at any time if needed.

Trauma Sensitivity

Due to trauma-related (stress) states, insights cannot always be reached through conversation alone, as they are stored in the body and activate different areas of the brain. This is why I find mindful, trauma-informed bodywork so important. I work with a nervous-system-regulating and resource-oriented approach.
At the beginning of a session, you are given the opportunity to orient yourself in the space at your own pace. You set the tempo. I invite you to move between sensing and resourcing while staying in continuous contact with you throughout. If needed, I provide nervous-system-regulating exercises that you can integrate into your daily life.
I have completed trauma-therapeutic training at the GAP Institute (Marburg) with Dennis Danner and have been trained in the application of the “Resilience Toolkit” at Lumos Transforms (California, USA).

Online Pantarei Sessions

I also offer online Pantarei sessions. In these, I guide you via video to connect with your body awareness, move, touch, and explore together with me what is currently moving you. Online sessions have proven to be highly effective as well. You will discover your own unique access to yourself and your embodied awareness, and learn to hold it.

Pantarei Sessions for Couples

I offer Pantarei sessions for couples. In these sessions, you have the opportunity to explore entrenched patterns in a supportive environment and cultivate a secure, authentic attachment style – supported by a regulated nervous system and new embodied interaction impulses.
In the practical part, you gain insights and witness what deeply moves your partner. Together, you can develop a deeper understanding of each other and integrate stagnant patterns.
If desired, I also provide practical exercises and reflection questions to help deepen the process.
The session lasts 1.5 hours and costs 155 Euros. Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested.

Pantarei Workshops

I offer body workshops that integrate my knowledge and approach from Pantarei. They provide an opportunity for your group to get to know and strengthen each other, and/or to explore a topic – such as grief, courage, or personal potential – somatically and through shared reflection.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested, and we can tailor the workshop to your specific needs. Costs vary depending on the format and level of guidance.

In which languages are sessions available?

I offer Pantarei sessions in both, German and English. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other language needs

My approach to inclusion and support
I warmly welcome people from marginalized groups and LGBTQ+ communities. I am committed to creating a supportive, anti-racist, and discrimination-free space. I work consciously to address power dynamics, privilege, and bias in sessions, and I aim to meet every person with respect, curiosity, and care. Everyone is welcome, and I strive to make sessions a space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued.
Please reach out if you have questions or specific needs so we can ensure the best possible experience for you.

What happens if I can’t attend a session?

If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please notify me at least 24 hours in advance. For cancellations made later than this, I reserve the right to charge 80 % of the session fee.

Thanks again for yesterday’s session. It definitely sparked my curiosity for more. I found it very helpful to tune into different states and feel how differently the body can experience sensations, while realizing that it’s okay to allow uncomfortable feelings without already knowing what to do with them. Nothing bad automatically happens when I let these feelings arise, even without knowing what comes next or how I might respond. Perhaps I don’t even have to react. I’ve been at this point a few times before, but I think I hadn’t fully internalized it physically. It was beautiful to see that I can hold much more than I could in the past. Thank you!

Saruj conducts her body therapy sessions with great empathy and intuition. I felt truly seen and very safe throughout the entire session. The combination of talk therapy and touch helped me reconnect with my own bodily wisdom and better feel my emotions.
Throughout the session, Saruj applied her touch with sensitivity, sensing exactly what was needed in the moment. Thank you again for this wonderful session!

I first heard about Pantarei at a workshop in Berlin, where I learned that it is a form of coaching that involves the body. As a yoga teacher, I was already familiar with the idea of feeling emotions in different parts of the body and understood their power to help you get to know yourself better. Without knowing exactly what to expect, I booked a session with Saruj in my hometown of Stuttgart. One session turned into several.
Saruj guided me through a very intense period with her wonderful approach, open-hearted conversations, gentle touch, and the feeling of being truly seen. She encouraged me to explore more deeply what I feel. I can absolutely recommend Pantarei sessions with Saruj to anyone.

I was very impressed with the work done. I received excellent and prompt guidance for my issues—not only in terms of knowledge but especially in the depths of my body. Thanks to the wonderful combination of verbal communication, touch, and body awareness. Thank you so much for the support.
