Originally from Munich and trained in social pedagogy, Barbara Nagel combined her academic background with a deep spiritual search. After an extended stay in India, she chose in 1984 to settle in Miltenberg, where she became a student of Sriram and has since followed the authentic yoga tradition of Krishnamacharya. For more than three decades, she has shared her knowledge and, since March 2017, has led the independent Yogaschule Miltenberg - Der indische Weg. For Barbara, yoga is not just a practice, but inseparable from her whole life, and she feels pure joy in passing on this precious heritage.
She deepened her expertise through intensive ayurveda training with Dr. Jeevan and has worked closely with Dr. Padmini since 2007. During her time in India, she also learned classical Bharata Natyam and continues to study with Anjali Sriram, enriching both her dance and spiritual practice.
At the heart of her teaching is the breath. It leads her into essential stillness and opens the way to a deep, intuitive understanding of body and mind.
