My philosophy

I love the feeling of flow – my life being in flow - and moving myself is an important part of my flow. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been in motion. If I am not moving, I am not myself.

As a child I was a keen Ballett dancer and practiced Karate intensively. Later I noticed that these two sports are quite similar to Pilates and Yoga – my body (and my mind) responded instantly.

Concentrate on yourself whatever you do – experience the flow of movements and focus on yourself – unite your body and your mind.
Let go, get to know your limits and explore.

I want to give my best to help you to feel your best

My Yoga

...is based on Chi Yoga and is influenced by everything else I know and have experienced.

ChiYoga is meditation in motion. ChiYoga combines spiritual concentration , breathing and movement, focusing on the flow from one posture into another while in- or exhaling  - alternating between strength and recreation as well as dynamic and restful postures accompanied by your concious and steady breathing.

The Human Being is incorporated into the dynamics of nature – the cosmic cycle of life. Each season has its’ own qualities, which Chi Yoga accomodates by chosing season related movements and topics – for example expansive and dynamic classes in spring and more quiet and centered classes in winter.

My Pilates

...is different.

As each of us come with different physical conditions, I adapt my Pilates to my individual participants.
I teach Pilates based excercises, as I believe that the Pilates method can be adapted to every move you make during your day, your workout, your Yoga... What is important to me is the HOW and the inner concentration.

My Personal Training

…is as individual as you are.

It is based on my philosophy and designed to train but also to assist you in experiencing and exploring yourself.
My aim is not only to strengthen, stretch and mobilize your body but also your mind, relieving stress, redirecting stressful thoughts and thinking and hence putting your mind and body in balance.
Together we will develop a training aligned with your aims and needs which respects your daily fitness routine.

Raised bilingually (German/English) with German and Asian roots and having lived in Asia for several years, I have experienced many different cultures and ways of life.
