Amrta

As a child I was lucky enough to have a first hand experience to yoga, through my father who was an advanced practitioner on a daily basis. I was very eager to sit in Lotus pose and look at the pictures in his yoga books already in my early childhood years.
This striving and attachment to India remained and magnified so far that when I was 19 and lived in Vienna I decided to join a Bhakti yoga Ashram at the Center for Vedic Studies in Vienna where I could immerse myself and study Yoga, Meditation, Sanskrit, Indian classical music, traditional ancient Indian philosophy and even ayurvedic culinary art, to learn and experience more about the ancient Vedic yoga heritage.

The following years I travelled to numerous Ashrams in  Europe and India where I was holding seminars on Vedic culture with  Meditation, Kirtan singing, cooking courses and discussions on Bhakti yoga for different groups of people.
In 2005 I decided to concentrate more on my Asana practice keeping the philosophy and the theories more in the background. So I started to practice with teachers like Joel Pier, Bikram Yoga Philadelphia, to expend my vision and understanding of Yogasana.

Inbetween – as a dedicated vegetarian – I worked and managed a couple of Ayurvedic restaurants in the US, Hungary and just recently in Sweden. Then in 2010 I came down with the decision to put my full attention to teaching Yoga and sharing what I’ve learned over the years.
In 2011 I finished the 200 hrs. Teachers Training Course in  Atma Vikasa, Center in Yogic Sciences, Mysore, and changed my home base from Malmo, Sweden to Basel.
 
Yoga became for me more than "a hobby", it is a way to lead my life that enables me to be much more balanced and concentrated in my daily life. It connects me to others in an deeper more intimate way and as I grow in it it makes me feel to be a much more valuable part of the „whole picture“.
