Vinyasa Yoga, Hot Vinyasa Yoga

Building on a foundation of Jivamukti Yoga, this class invigorates, challenges and warms the heart. The combined energy of all that participate, the effort that is put in and the music that serves as a backdrop creates an atmosphere that will continue to draw you back in. You will walk away feeling the exhaustion of a workout but with a refreshed sense of inner calm and balance.

Barre Fusion

Athletic and dynamic training at a ballet barre. Targeting the most beloved parts of the body; barre helps to tone the legs, define arms, shape the booty, tighten the abdominals and obtain flexibility in the shortest amount of time. With the help of weights, training balls, intensity bands and a high energy playlist this is a workout designed for everyone. Guaranteed to make you shake, sweat and smile.

Hormone Yoga Therapy

HYT, developed by Dinah Rodrigues, is a natural and holistic approach to reactivate hormone production. It helps to manage the symptoms of menopause as well as PMS, polycystic ovaries, irregular periods, anxiety, depression, acne and hypothyroidism. Women with infertility problems have also seen benefits as a result of a regular practice of hormone yoga. It is a healthy alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and beneficial for all women of all ages.

Private Training

Busy schedule? Looking for a little more attention? These private sessions are designed just for you. Your body, your time, your space. Perhaps it’s yoga, perhaps it’s a barre class. Perhaps it’s meditative or a joint class with your significant other. We can create something together.

Retreats

Sometimes you need to just get out of town. Sometimes with friends, sometimes not. Continue to check back in, to see what we have planned as a group retreat or we can design a package based on your needs and create a private retreat for you, your friends, your partner or your family. Email me the dates and what you are looking for and we will create something special.

Business Yoga

Help to create a zen den at your office. Whether you have space for mats or we pull the chair away from your desk, we will find a way to incorporate some exercise into your day. A healthy, balanced and productive team is priceless and yoga along with breathing techniques and anti-stress exercises can help. Exercises that will help both physical and mental well- being, bringing efficiency, creativity and a zen like atmosphere to your work environment.

About Me…

I spent 15 years in New York City, immersed in the fast-paced, fashionable world of an industry I loved. After more than 20 years in fashion, an unexpected opportunity to move to Germany (random, I know, but I’m half German) came along. I jumped, quite literally, and took a leap of faith, leaving behind my beloved Big Apple, my friends and my family in search of… something. Change, perhaps? Whatever it was, I found it.

Shortly after arriving in Munich, I did the unthinkable: I walked away from the only career I’d ever known, packed my bags and headed to Africa. Because why not go on safari by yourself?

Africa gave me something I didn’t know I needed: space. Space to slow down, reflect and ask myself some big questions. What did I want out of life? What felt meaningful? What brought me joy? What did I want from the world, and what did I want to give back?

Travel, time with friends and, of course, yoga quickly rose to the top of the list. So, as a birthday present to myself in 2017, a big one, in more ways than one, I travelled to India for yoga teacher training, marking the beginning of an entirely new chapter.

After completing my Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training with Sharon Gannon in Maharashtra, India, I began teaching at various studios in Munich. I went on to complete Barre Fusion Teacher Training with Tanja Krodel, Hormone Yoga Teacher Training with Dinah Rodrigues in Prague, Czech Republic, and, in 2020, my Pilates Teaching Certification with Anja Riesenberg in Munich.

My Teaching Philosophy

Challenging classes with a softer approach. Creative, inspiring and suprising.

My intention is to create a space where you can step away from the demands of work, family and everyday life, and simply have time for yourself. A chance to turn inward, find your centre and reconnect with your own sense of balance.

My classes weave together creative sequences and music to leave you feeling lighter, more focused and gently energised, with perhaps a little more room to breathe.

HIYO

HIYO is that life-affirming yoga high you sometimes experience after a really great session. It’s the extra pep in your step, the smile in your soul and that feeling of being just a little more you.
