About Yoga
The word Yoga means “union” in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where Yoga originated. For the practise we will be doing it could be translated into the union of body, mind, and breath.
What is commonly referred to as “yoga” in the western world can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word “asana”, which refers to the practise of physical postures or poses.
Yoga is not just simply physical exercise. Although it is a form of exercise, without awareness of what we are doing in the moment, and the conscious use of our breath it can’t be called Yoga.
If you stay with Yoga long enough you discover changes not only in your body, but also in the outlook on life, the way you interact with people, and how you take care of yourself.
Yoga will change your life, your habits, your body, your health, your mind, your breathing patterns, your attitudes, and your outlook. Yoga is about learning from direct experience.
As Patanjali said: ”The beneifts of Yoga come to those who practise”
About me
I came to Yoga about 18 years ago, back in Germany. I was pregnant with my second child, and was looking for a way to have an “easier” birth. I found Yoga and was surprised and astonished about how certain postures, and especially breathing techniques support the whole experience, and had a most wonderful birth.
I lapsed after the birth, but soon found myself going back to Yoga, when I felt stressed with two little children.
I started out with Kundalini Yoga, and ended up training Hatha Yoga with Vinyasa flow sequences, but still find Kundalini elements in my practise.
When you do Yoga for a number of years you feel the changes and become curious. So I started the teacher-training course, learning about the history, the philosophy, anatomy and physiology, how to teach and much more.
I love teaching Yoga, and find it very gratifying to see how much people enjoy the experience.
I do workshops regularly to stay in touch with new developments, and to deepen my knowledge in Yoga philosophy and the anatomical and physiological side of Yoga.
I have been working with all ages from teenager to 75 years old.
I want to provide a friendly and safe atmosphere during my lessons, so everybody feels welcome and taken care of – and – you will feel the changes!
