ABOUT ME
During my trip to Sri Lanka (2008), I came in contact with Buddhism and meditation for the first time and started practicing Yoga.
The magic of Yoga and meditation has not left me since.
It is the holistic nature and deep wisdom of Indian Yoga philosophy that fascinates me especially.
I was inspired by the forefathers of Yoga, Swami Sivananda Saraswati & B.K.S. Iyengar.
Today Yoga & Meditation are integrated into my daily routine and it is impossible to imagine life without it. My body & mind simply demand these sequences as well as an healthy holistic lifestyle based on the principles of the Ayurvedic healing art.
Soul & Sun Yoga –
how it all started
In 2016 I decided to pack my bags and turned my back on winter to follow my heart's desire to discover Yoga in its country of origin. One winter later, under the Sri Lankan sun, my philosophy of life got its name: Soul & Sun Yoga.
Soul – for me this means to follow my heart's desires.
Sun – for me this means to live in the sun and radiate from the bottom of my heart.
Yoga – for me this means doing what I love.
While teaching Yoga in beautiful places around the world I want to share and pass on my knowledge.
Soul & Sun Yoga –
my holistic philosophy of life!
My Yoga Style
The focus of my Yoga lessons lies on an holistic practice involving a sweating body and a resting mind.
The exercise sequences are strengthening and they relax your body and mind. My classes consist of flowing and dynamic elements, as well as asanas that are held longer as known from traditional Hatha and Yin Yoga.
Apart from the correct execution of the postures the focus equally lies on Pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation and Yoga philosophy so that you experience Yoga in all its fullness and depth.
The holistic yoga practice not only improves your body tension, but also gives you strength and flexibility that will enrich and inspire you beyond the Yoga mat.
The lessons are suitable for beginners and advanced students. All Yoga enthusiasts and curious people are welcome!
