His first contact with yoga was not in a Shala but on a Festival, where he saw a headline performance of the band “Shelter”, which inspired him a lot to dive deeper into the philosophy without putting a foot on a yoga mat but in a Dojo where he practiced WingTsun KungFu for years – luckily his Sifu was also a Yoga teacher who brought the philosophy into the training. Years later during a surf trip to Sri Lanka, he took his firs Hatha Class with chanting, meditation and a strong asana-practice that hooked him. So he continued to practice Yoga in Hamburg and also took classes and Immersions with Moritz Ulrich where he fell in love with the Jivamukti Practice.

Two years after immersing into Bhakti during the 300hr Teacher Training with Raghunath at the Govardhan Eco Village he joined the Jivamukti Teacher Training  with Moritz Ulrich and Yogeswari, which felt 100% right. in 2023 he also did the Apprenticeship with his Mentor Moritz Ulrich at Peace Yoga Berlin.

Thomas feels blessed to be part of the Jivamukti Yoga Community (he mainly teaches at Roots Hamburg) and is forever grateful for his teachers Yogeswari and Moritz Ulrich, Sharon Gannon and David Life as well as Raghunath and Kausthuba Das.
