I came to yoga more by chance after years of practicing Daoist practices such as zazen, tai chi and qigong.
A sense for the energetic subtleties of breath, inner and outer movements and the simple depth of stillness have remained.
Holding open and inspiring spaces in which others can rest, discover themselves and grow is a wonderful activity. To look into soulful, moved, weeping and beaming faces in the most beautiful hours is the greatest gift. I am infinitely grateful for every such moment.

It is particularly important to me to accompany you in respecting your own breath, to meet yourself honestly and attentively and to gradually grow into the expanse of your own presence and find more inner freedom. Sometimes yoga gives us spontaneous insight, far-sighted clarity, or the deepest happiness. Sometimes we are confronted with our limits harshly or lovingly, we discover unnoticed, hidden or lost aspects of ourselves. Or we unleash previously unknown energies. Sometimes, however, we may just encounter tiredness or boredom on the mat. So whether you are lying down, sitting or standing on your head, it is the starting point and place of experience in your life at this moment. Yoga doesn’t always give us what we are looking for, but it often gives us an indication of what we actually need.
