How do I teach?

I want to provide space for these essential experiences. For this, precision and mindfulness in practice are very important. I want to teach precise techniques. This develops a high level of intensity. At the same time, the lessons are also characterized by humor and lightness. Sometimes there is a magic in the lessons. Sometimes there is silence, joy, or someone may cry.

touched, or because a burden has been lifted. Sometimes physical and other ailments simply disappear after the sessions. When this happens, I am grateful.

Why do I practice yoga?

As a child, I was introduced to yoga at an early age. But it wasn't until I became a dancer that I remembered it again. Many dancers do yoga because it allows them to significantly improve their dance technique, and that was the case for me as well. I became more efficient and creative. Later, I incorporated yoga into my dance classes, and when I choreographed, our work was influenced by yoga.

Regular yoga practice not only had a positive effect on my health, it also developed a clarity and inner joy within me that I no longer wanted to miss.

Why do I teach?

Life is like a dance we all dance together. And we all have to leave this dance at some point. That's something we all have in common.

The beauty and vulnerability of life. The awareness that we all share this.
We all have the potential within us to be happy and to experience our true inner nature. Yoga is a method for realizing this potential. The postures and breathing exercises not only train the body but also create a deeper mental awareness.
