I have been practising Ashtanga for 25 years and teaching continuously for the last ten.

During these years I have taught beginners taking their very first steps, long-time practitioners, people returning after injury or a long break, and students from all over the world passing through my Mysore room in Vienna.

Different ages. Different bodies. Different lives.

And that is probably what I enjoy most about teaching.

Meeting the person who is actually standing in front of me.

You don’t need to be an Ashtanga studio to invite me.

And your students don’t need to want to become Ashtanga practitioners.

Maybe they are simply curious. Maybe you would like to offer your community something different, or your teachers would like to experience how a Mysore room works and how an individual practice is built.

That can be an introduction to Ashtanga, a workshop, Led Primary, Mysore mornings, Active Series, individual work, or a few days of practising together.

I have spent many years studying this method in India and was authorised to teach Ashtanga Yoga by Sharath Jois in Mysore in 2016.

But what I bring into your studio is not only what I learned from my teachers.

It is ten years of teaching people.

And ten years of staying.

Showing up. Watching. Listening. Learning when to help and when to leave someone alone. Finding another way when something doesn’t work.

For me, Ashtanga has never been only asana.

The yamas and niyamas. Attention. Discipline. Self-inquiry. Philosophy. Relationship. Responsibility.

Not separate from what happens on the mat, but part of how we practise, how we teach and how we meet each other.

This is the Ashtanga I know.

And this is what I would be happy to bring into your studio.

Tell me about your students, your space and what you have in mind. We can create something that makes sense for your community.

I teach in German, English and Spanish.

If you are curious, I would love to hear from you.
