yoga

yoga improves your breathing, you stretch and strengthen your muscles and develop a whole new body-consciousness. yoga offers the most balanced and effective set of exercises to attain long lasting health. it's fun to do and you can benefit from a sustainably healthy back and greater mobility and freedom from tension in the shoulder-neck area.

a healthy body is just one effect of yoga. this ancient indian method was set out to attain freedom - not only on the physical level!

after yoga you feel relaxed and centered - you naturally react more evenly tempered to stress. yoga sharpens your awareness: you learn to live more consciously in the present moment which in turn opens many avenues to positive personal development. with a calm and focused mind life also gets easier. the heart can lead, you trust your intuition and enjoy a better flow in everyday life.

"when applied correctly, without struggle or obsession, yoga produces clarity, more peace and more power, the natural form of life." (mark whitwell)

i teach vinyasa-style hatha yoga where the postures (asanas) are fluidly combined. each movement is initiated by a deep in- or exhalation. you simply focus the gentle sound that accompanies the ujaii-breath. this breathing pattern also creates inner warmth and supports the asana's cleansing effects.

yoga lessons

my aim is that you are able to practice a short yoga-sequence on your own after a few private sessions. self-practice is the best way to thoroughly integrate yoga into your life. personal yoga lessons are the most effective way to learn a yoga-sequence that perfectly suits your abilities and requirements. it is also the traditional way of teaching: 1 on 1 - the teacher assisting one student individually. with personal yoga:

- you learn the basics at your own pace under personal guidance
- you decide when and where to practice and we can consider tight schedules or regular obligations
- you can intensify the effects of yoga as the individual sequence is tailored to your constitution
- you can support the healing process where injuries or health impediments are involved
- your technique will be fine-tuned and new variations will add to your practice

you "only" have 20 minutes time for yoga? no problem. we discuss your targets and develop a sequence that suits you perfectly. it might contain physical exercises (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama) and other techniques for concentration, relaxation and meditation. the duration of practice is not critical - practice a short sequence regularly and you will sense the changes and feel the benefits.
