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 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 (programme here), 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).

Extracts from my blog
What does Ashtanga Yoga mean – Nomen est omen or rather a misnomer?
The yoga style that I have been practicing for 13 years and teaching for 11 is nowadays known worldwide as Ashtanga Yoga. I fell in love with this style from the very start. Initially, the name was not important to me. However, I later started to...
Breath – The new science of a lost art (James Nestor)
The fact how little attention people pay to how they breathe in their daily lives repeatedly surprises me. So, it was a surprise in the other direction when a book with the title “Breath“ made it onto the bestseller lists of the Sunday Times, the...
The end of the blog-down – and as a concrete subject the question concerning the “correct form of an āsana“
More than half a year has gone by since my last blog. At that time, Germany was still in the middle of a lockdown. Due to my online teaching, I did not have more time available than "normally" (i.e., before Corona). Somehow, though, I must have...
