Jivamukti Yoga was love at first sight. The chanting, philosophy, and meditation, along with the dynamic asana practice, completely captivated me. Yoga suddenly became more than just physical; it became a journey to myself, a feeling of coming home step by step.

Today, yoga is silence and presence for me, the antidote to our modern, hectic lives. It is a lifelong self-study to get to the core of being and not always a feel-good practice. Rather, it is a constant investigation of limits and boundaries, a balancing act on a razor’s edge, becoming both strong and soft, playing with the contrasts in the laboratory of one’s own being.

What fascinates and surprises me time and time again is how the practice helps me to accept what is and live authentically. I strive to pass this on in my classes as best I can.

The practice of chanting mantra and Kirtan is very dear to my heart – you can find our Kirtan Crew on instagram @kirtanconnection_stuttgart – if your interested.

I’m eternally grateful and bow to all my teachers – near, far, in the past, present and future and especially to my mentor Olga – without you I wouldn’t have much to say.
