I started practicing Yoga in USA where lots of time Yoga is offered as a workout. So, that´s what it was – a little bit like Aerobic and yet different. Namasté

Without being able to put a thumb to it the practice did something new to me. Thanks to my very first teacher Kenn Chambers for this experience. After I returned back to Germany I kept looking for exactly the same thing. It took me a long time and even more teachers to realize there will never gonna be exactly the same thing. Today it looks like the way has been the aim. My favorite practice is something between dynamic and stillness. Linking movement and breath is the one thing that makes it special to me. Thanks Claudia Fernando for opening that door for me. In 2011 I finished a 4 years teacher training at the Mandala Yoga Akademie in Wetzlar, Germany. Again thanks to the whole team for your support and all-around education. Since Yoga changes and developes all the time, being a student never ends. I´m still curious what´s around the corner. Therefore I attended a Yin Yoga Teachers Training with Sebastian Pucelle and Murielle Burellier in 2014. It´s been an interesting insight into another approach of practicing. I studied with Eberhard Bärr, Roselyn Colin, Beate Cuson, Doris Echlin, Helga Pfretschner, Sriram, Barbra Noh etc. and owned a little Yogastudio in Germany before I moved to Bangkok. Here I am, very excited to find out what comes next.

Throw back to past World Yoga Day’s

I remember an incident when we‘ve been living in the US. My daughter was 3rd or 4th grade at time. Since she’s been raised in a small village in Germany she‘s never been in contact with POC. So, one day after school she‘s been telling about an experience with one girl in her class. I didn‘t know who she was talking about and she described that child with everything that came to her mind. The dress she‘s been wearing that day, the sneakers, the backpack ... She was frustrated since I still had no clue so we decided she’d just show me that girl the next day. Guess what, she’s been talking about the only black girl in her class and the color of her skin wasn’t even worth mentioning from her point of view. Because it‘s not.

“My” kids. Even under normal circumstances their life is challenging. It breaks my heart to see how India’s population struggles with COVID 19 and the government regulations that come with it. I’m grateful that this bunch is still taken care of as good as possible. Still, I do miss them and the dance and the tickling and the goofing and the deep conversations. Can’t wait for the reunion

Our Story

About me

I attended my first Yoga class in 2002 while living in the US.

Lot’s has changed since then. In my life, my practice and my teaching.

That’s, in my personal experience, the most valuable difference between Yoga and common workouts, which unfortunately Yoga i soften „sold“ as these days by the still growing Yoga-industry:

Yoga changes and develops constantly. I haven’t met a single practitioner during all that time whose practice hasn’t changed over the years.

Life is change and Yoga provides us with a holistic system which allows us to adapt to whatever challenges are presented to us.

Much more a „work-in“ than a workout.

That’s why it became part of my life.
