I was first introduced to yoga through surfing, my other big passion, in my late teens. With a background in swimming and triathlon, the yoga asana practice was far from my usual movement patterns and challenging for me in many ways. But something about it captured me from the very beginning and within a few years I was practicing regularly and Yoga slowly started to influence all aspects of my life.
When I moved to Berlin in 2016, I started my regular practice of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga with my teacher Susen Pijur at Yoga School Berlin. Susen’s practice and her approach to Ashtanga Yoga continue to be a big inspiration for me and I’m forever grateful to her for sharing her knowledge and giving me the opportunity to start teaching at her studio. In 2021 I started practicing Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga in Berlin with Carola della Croce and Matias de Biedma in Berlin which further deepened my practice. A year later I did my first teacher training with Simon Park whose liquid flow and therapeutic approach to the practice opened new horizons for me in my teaching as well as my practice. In 2024, I was lucky enough to do a month-long teachers intensive training with Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor. I am very grateful for the opportunity to study and teach yoga and thank all my teachers for their guidance and support.
My teaching is influenced immensely by my own practice which consists of a mix between my regular Mysore Style Ashtanga practice and more intuitive and alignment based Vinyasa Yoga, as well as Pranayama, Meditation and an ongoing dedication to studying different layers of the practice.
After completing my first Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga Works in 2016, I started teaching regularly and in a studio setting in Berlin in 2019. Since then, I have been continuously expanding my teaching schedule - from private and corporate yoga classes and events to other Berlin studios, to teaching regular online live classes and organizing my own retreats. Since 2022 I assist and co-teach with Simon Park on teacher trainings around Europe and I am part of the teaching faculty of his 300h advanced teacher training. Since 2023 I co-lead the yearly 200h Yoga Teacher Training at Original Feelings Studio in Berlin.
