What were you like as a Yoga-beginner and any advice for a new Student?
I love to discover new things again and again and so I stumbled into my first yoga lesson without any foreboding - let's have a look. After that I was not able to put together what had just happened. Yoga had touched me in a place where most of my other attempts to do physically & mentally never worked. It was immediately so that I wanted more of it and so I have given yoga a firm place in my life since 2002.
So my advice for newcomers: just get involved, without any expectations and see how it sprinkles on you...
What inspires you to teach?
I am enormously grateful for all the discoveries I have made on my yoga path to date. This journey goes on and on, deeper and deeper. So is the discovery of the realization that freedom takes place in the mind and that with the help of yoga we can move to where the most harmonious concept of freedom awaits each one of us. Most of the time I follow an intuition to do justice to what is right now. I see myself at eye level with my great students and simply share my experiences. So I always have the feeling that we create a class together and less that I simply go through something according to scheme X.
What are you known for in your Yoga classes?
My lessons are slow and contemplative, peppered with dynamic and powerful elements. And of course a real laugh must never be missing!
How do you clear out stress?
I rely 100% on my breath. I don't want to miss all the different techniques Yoga offers us. Of course, nature and the beloved family time are also pure stress relief.
What would you do if you had super-powers?
Then I would bundle all the yoga magic together and send it with the magic wand around the world and through the whole universe!
What does ‘Living Yoga’ mean to you?
To be home! Living Yoga has been my 2nd home for a long time and I couldn't imagine myself without being!
