Since 2010
Ashtanga Yoga in Königstein and online
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and powerful form of Hatha Yoga. Postures (in Sanskrit: Āsana), which are precisely coordinated with the breathing, are linked to one another in a defined sequence in a flowlike fashion. Well-being and physical performance quickly improve.
Private classes either on-site or online in addition to Mysore classes on-site (currently not permitted) are best suited as a starting point for beginners, practitioners from other yoga styles or after a longer break from yoga.
You can download the current Mysore programme here.
Under the heading of Plus, I also offer
other elements of yoga (in a group setting currently only online, private classes possible on site), specifically:
- pranayama (special breathing techniques)
- meditation
- yoga philosophy, chanting and Sanskrit
as well as on-site and online assistance in coping with challenges in the personal and the professional arena, using:
- coaching and energy work
- family and systemic constellations (currently only in an individual setting).

COVID-19 notice
Until further notice, yoga classes in a group setting will only be available online. This includes pranayama and meditation classes.
Please get in touch with me if you would like to participate online and do not yet have the link for Zoom (also of course, if you have no prior experience with Zoom).
Private classes are possible for up to two persons, even if they are from different households.
Should you want to start with Ashtanga Yoga, pranayama or meditation, you would have to start with one or two private classes (on site or online). After that you are welcome to also join the online classes.
Coaching, energy work and family constellation work in an individual setting are still possible on site.

Extracts from my blog
Book review: My search for yoga by David Williams
This book is definitely going to be of interest for you if you would like to know more about the beginning of the journey of „Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga“ from its origin in Mysore (today Mysuru) in India to the entire world. It is mainly thanks to this...
The triple filters of Socrates
Already last month, I was writing about Socrates - the wisest man in Greece (interestingly enough, the Oracle did not mention women). Socrates is also seen as the source for an approach to conversations - and to silence -, which is very useful if...
Book review for Aṣṭāṅga Yoga Anuṣṭhāna by Sharath Jois
Originally, I intended to write this blog only in German, as it is about the translation into German of an Ashtanga book that has already been around for a few years. Why would I write in English about a book in German? Upon second thought, I...
