About me

I was responsible for international public relations at the lighting manufacturer Osram for many years. I tried to balance my workload with mountaineering, relaxation techniques and physical exercise. I learnt many methods, but it was yoga that finally enabled me to feel at home in my own body.

With its holistic combination of body, mind and heart, I find Hatha Yoga compelling. I see yoga as an undogmatic practice with long-term effects. I am always fascinated by how this ancient philosophy is applicable to our lives today.

I was lucky enough, in the middle of my life, to be able to reorient myself with a free-lance activity and to discover Energy Yoga - a method that I want to pass on to others as a yoga teacher. I have been continuously learning since May 2012 at the PURNA YOGASCHULE. Since Juni 2016 I am a yoga teacher certified by BDY/EYU. Additional training courses enabled me to deepen my understanding of asana, pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy.
