EXPERIENCES FROM YOGA, ZEN AND BUDDHISM
Guided by my indwelling guru, I found yoga in 1999, at the age of 29. Under various teachers I was initiated into Kriya Yoga. I learned pranayama (=breath) techniques. In the time from 1999 to 2010 I practiced my yoga.
Since that time I started to perceive myself consciously. My own experiences became my teachers. The more conscious I became with my yoga, the more I realized that I didn’t need to gain anything new. Everything was already there. At the same time I read the scriptures of Yoga, Zen and Buddhism. A wonderful philosophy, which inspires and surprises me again and again. In 2010, under the guidance of my teacher, the desire to teach yoga myself arose. Wonderful teachers gave me more basics in Adjusten, anatomy, use of language and Anusara, as well as massage techniques. In 2011 I completed my yoga teacher training as well as personal trainer for yoga. I love teaching yoga and am very THANKFUL for it with each passing day of learning and teaching.
