Director of Jivamukti Yoga Stuttgart, Kirtan enthusiast

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 was trained in Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Hatha before finding my home in Jivamukti Yoga and completing my 800-hour Advanced Certification under the guidance of Olga Oskorbina at Jivamukti Yoga Barcelona.

A strong focus on breath and hands-on assists are an essential part of my teaching, with the emphasis on facilitating an energetically deep experience and the liberation that comes with a well-aligned body in yoga asanas.

Infinite gratitude goes to all the teachers who have paved and guided my path and continue to do so — without them, there would be very little to say.
