A yoga practitioner with the mission of sharing my experiences and passion for this ancient spiritual tradition through asana and pranayama classes, mantra chanting, vibrational sound healing, plant medicine ceremonies (cacao), and meditation. My yoga journey: I discovered the practice of yoga in 2015, shortly after leaving behind my ordinary life in Germany to find more peace and happiness while traveling the world. Somehow, the universe gave me a push in the right direction, by advising me to join a silent meditation retreat. There, I realized that the way to real happiness has very little to do with the world around us. It was more about the journey inside. Curious about the connection of body, mind, and spirit, I tried various yoga practices and meditation retreats until my journey brought me to India. While I was living and learning in traditional yoga ashrams and joining intense yoga teacher training, I felt that there was something very powerful within this ancient tradition. This beautiful feeling of peace and tranquility after every practice made me fall deeply in love with yoga over and over again. And more importantly, with myself and the world around me. I could finally treat my body with love and kindness, after so many years of not accepting and punishing it. I truly believe that the holistic practice of yoga, with all its aspects of physical, mental, and energetic work, can help us to overcome our boundaries and guide us back to understand who we really are.
