Yoga
From an early age I have been enthusiastic about conscious movement and body posture in Yoga.
My desire to work as a yoga teacher was ignited once I had found my individual Yoga style – a combination of gentle Hatha yoga exercises (Asanas) and the awareness of feeling and perceiving the movements in your body. Because it’s not about the form of the Asana which matters, it’s about how you perceive your body while moving.
Through my personal experience I have noticed that one often goes over one’s own boundaries to achieve the perfect Yoga pose, like in pictures. If one does not achieve this perfect pose it can be disheartening, as well as, not beneficial for the body.
It is important to me to be aware of my body and it’s boundaries within the movements during my Yoga. To be able to feel one’s own boundaries and to enjoy the personal encounter with oneself, is a conscious choice that takes time to acquire.
I look forward to welcoming you in my Yoga sessions to experience conscious movement.
Maybe you feel like moving your body consciously and gently, as well as be aware of your personal boundaries, then join me in
Gentle Yoga on the mat
Yoga on the mat combines gentle meditative flowing movements with synchronising breath and the transitions from pose to pose in a very relaxed way.
With the exercises on the mat, we take the space and time to promote body awareness. We open breathing spaces without manipulating the natural breath. We include exercises for deep relaxation of body and mind and to cultivate the art of enjoyment inside our body.
No previous experience is required. The only issue could be the ability to get down onto the mat.
Restorative Yoga
If you want to take a step further towards self-care, why not try Restorative Yoga for recalibrating the nervous system. Restorative Yoga is designed to bring the nervous system back into balance.
The focus is to take the body and mind out of the stress response and into a state of true relaxation. It supports the down regulation of the nervous system and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous response to calm the whole body. This can then be experienced on a physical, mental and emotional level.
Thus, we work on the mat and use an abundance of props to feel supported and comfortable. Of all Yoga styles, Restorative Yoga needs the least physical effort. It is good for releasing stress, tension, chronic pain and fatigue. And it can improve sleep. It’s all about being and not doing, so why not give yourself the permission to just be.

Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga can provide a wonderful setting to come together, move and be connected, especially for elderly or immobile people, people suffering from osteoporosis or multiple sclerosis, as exercising is not as easy as it used to be. If yoga on the mat is not an option for you, but you still want to move your body gently, then chair yoga might be right for you.

Face Yoga & Facial Gua Sha
The holistic combination of face and body yoga practices are so beneficial.
Not only have we tension in our body, our emotional feelings are expressed in our face, like stress, anxiety, anger, etc. There is a link between face and body. Working on the face on muscles, fascias, meridians, acupressure points, circulatory and lymphatic system has an overall effect on the whole body.
Exercising with the face whether it is with your fingers or the Gua Sha crystals is gentle, feels natural, and it is easy to learn and follow. The movements lift, tone, plum, smooth and relax. And they are so enjoyable as effective at keeping stress, tension and aging at bay.
