In 2010 after my lung surgery I practiced yoga for the first time. It took me a few years to find the style that was ideal for me, but then I was hooked. Yoga helped me increase my lung volume, build my back muscles, and most importantly, reduce my pain.
10 years after my first yoga class I completed a teacher training myself and two years later another yoga advanced training with focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Now I would like to help other people to breathe more focused and live more pain-free by means of a yoga practice tailored to the body and its individual history.

Despite my illness, I never wanted to give up exercise, but often felt uncomfortable and out of place in yoga studios where the teachers:inside often changed, I was pushed and rotated into certain exercises, and my illness and well-being were not always in harmony with the asanas.
my approach
Thanks to my yoga teacher training, I understood my body and various movement patterns much better. Above all, from now on I could understand which asanas give me relief from my illness.
I would like to share this feeling in a familiar setting, whether in small groups or individually. On site or via video.
Individually and with a focus on your own body.
As a yoga teacher, my focus is on people who, like me, often don't feel comfortable in traditional yoga studios because their illness limits them.
Yoga is a mind-body practice that focuses on physical, emotional and mental health. Especially for people with chronic pain or pre-existing conditions, yoga practice - in addition to treatment by doctors* - can help reduce mental as well as physical stress, relieve pain and build muscle. All in harmony with your own well-being and without going beyond physical limits.
