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
Sanskrit is a form of yoga – for the mind
This heading might surprise you - what does yoga have to do with Sanskrit? In the West yoga is often seen as training for the belly, legs, and butt. Sanskrit is the language in which the majority of the old Indian literature was composed, but these...

„Yoga im Nationalsozialismus – Konzepte, Kontraste, Konsequenzen“ („Yoga during the times of National Socialism“ [my translation], in German) by Matias Tietke (book review)
This is another review of a book in German that I am also posting in English. Despite the book’s language, perhaps the information contained is of interest. Or maybe you are also able to read German when the subject is of sufficient interest to...
„Karma“ by Johannes Bronkhorst (book review)
In Sanskrit, „karma“ originally means just „action“. Since about 2.500 years it is understood in a much larger scale, as the law of cause and effect. According to this law, actions in this life (and in former lives) have an immediate effect on this...
