Head, Trainer

Yoga has been part of my life since I was 19. My first contact with yoga was Kriya Yoga from the Yogananda lineage. This was followed by many wonderful encounters with various spiritual teachings and Yoga Masters. In 1997, I was trained as a yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition. This was followed by five trips to India, where I mainly focused on the Iyengar style of Yoga. Through this style of Yoga, I was able to deeply learn about alignement in the Asana practice. After attending many different workshops in India and Europe, I developed a desire to become a naturopath in order to work more intensively with yoga in a therapeutic context. During my active time as a naturopath, I treated many chronic patients with TCM and Yoga. Through my work, I discovered how effective Yoga is and how great people's interest in Yoga and its healing powers is.

Today, after 28 years of teaching, I have found a form of teaching that aims to inspire people to follow a healthy and spiritual path in life with Yoga that fits into their daily life. I have been teaching as a lecturer for 19 years and trained many Yoga teachers and Yoga therapists. In the training courses, seminars and lectures that we offer at the Yoga Academy in Freiburg, it is very important to me in my work to convey the philosophy of Yoga, the basics of astrology, biographical work and medicine to the participants in an understandable way and to inspire them to lead a conscious lifestyle.
