Agnes Marschalek

Agnes Marschalek is a co-founder of StillMind, a certified traditional yoga teacher, and a community builder. She has spent years working in startups and building her own software products, and years more bringing people together across Hungary.

Becoming a mother of two is what made her practice non-negotiable. That experience sits at the heart of what StillMind is built to be: a practice that meets you where you are, and who you are.

Why StillMind exists

As a mum of young toddlers, Agnes realised she could not go without a daily meditation practice. Around the time her daughter was born, she began training as a traditional yoga teacher, and the course helped her lean fully into the traditional practice. Ever since, she has been on a mission to bring meditation to everyone’s phone.

StillMind grew out of that mission. Agnes wanted an authentic, traditional app to support her own practice, and it became the home for it.

What meditation gives her

Agnes discovered meditation years ago and kept a semi-regular practice for a long time. After receiving her yoga teaching certificate a couple of years ago, it became part of her daily routine. She can feel the difference on the days she skips it: in how she responds to her kids, how she reacts to the small frictions of the day, and how settled and well she feels overall. For Agnes, a regular practice is simply the difference between a good day and a manageable one.

What Agnes does for StillMind

Agnes keeps StillMind close to the traditional roots it came from. She tests the app through the lens of authentic practice, using it daily so she can shape it around what practitioners genuinely need. She researches meditation techniques for the app, and she helps bring StillMind to the people who are looking for it.

Before StillMind

Agnes has been building communities in Hungary for years. She founded Budapest Hikers, one of the country’s largest international hiking communities, and ran a paid membership group for female entrepreneurs. She has worked as a marketing consultant for startups, serves as CMO of Coliving.com, and has built her own software products along the way.

She lives in the Pilis mountains with her family, where her own daily practice keeps StillMind honest.
