CLASSES

Meine Kurse bauen auf den Prinzipien natürlicher und funktionaler Bewegung auf. Du erlernst auf intuitive und spielerische Art komplexe Bewegungsabläufe die deinen Körper und Geist als Einheit betrachten. Achtsamkeit dem eigenen Wohlbefinden gegenüber steht stets an erster Stelle um dich sowohl gesundheitlich als auch mental und emotional zu fördern und zu unterstützen.

Mein Spektrum umfasst Yin Yoga, Kundalini Yoga und Vinyasa Flow Yoga, HIIT und Functional Movement sowie Meditation, Mindfulness und TCM (Meridiansystem, Shiatsu Massage und 5 Elemente Theorie). Ich unterrichte in Deutsch und Englisch. 

​

My classes build upon the principles of natural and functional movement. You will accommodate your body with moving in complex movement patterns in a playful and intuitive approach respecting your body and mind as a holistic system. Cultivating an intrinsic awareness of your wellbeing is a priority supporting not only your physical but mental and emotional health equally.

​

I offer a wide variety of Yoga styles from Yin to Kundalini to Vinyasa Flow, HIIT and functional movement as well as meditation, mindfulness and TCM (meridian system, shiatsu massage and 5 elements theory). I teach in German and English.
