Practice and Philosophy
I am a member of “Yogaweg,” a network of yoga teachers who teach Vini Yoga in the tradition of Śri T. Krishnamacharya and Śri T.K.V. Desikachar. At present, I lead Vini Yoga courses, workshops, and multi-day yoga holidays and seminars in Marburg, Gießen, and at various other locations.
Vini Yoga is a special form of practice that carries me from the demands of everyday life into deep mental calm. This is made possible by its distinctive breath guidance. I am delighted to share this accessible style, which does not require any particular level of flexibility.
I have been working with NEUE WEGE since 2012, and I always look forward to meeting new people and discovering new destinations.
