Vinyasa Yoga, Hot Vinyasa Yoga

Building on a foundation of Jivamukti Yoga, this class invigorates, challenges and warms the heart. The combined energy of all that participate, the effort that is put in and the music that serves as a backdrop creates an atmosphere that will continue to draw you back in. You will walk away feeling the exhaustion of a workout but with a refreshed sense of inner calm and balance.

Barre Fusion

Athletic and dynamic training at a ballet barre. Targeting the most beloved parts of the body; barre helps to tone the legs, define arms, shape the booty, tighten the abdominals and obtain flexibility in the shortest amount of time. With the help of weights, training balls, intensity bands and a high energy playlist this is a workout designed for everyone. Guaranteed to make you shake, sweat and smile.

Hormone Yoga Therapy

HYT, developed by Dinah Rodrigues, is a natural and holistic approach to reactivate hormone production. It helps to manage the symptoms of menopause as well as PMS, polycystic ovaries, irregular periods, anxiety, depression, acne and hypothyroidism. Women with infertility problems have also seen benefits as a result of a regular practice of hormone yoga. It is a healthy alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and beneficial for all women of all ages.

Private Training

Busy schedule? Looking for a little more attention? These private sessions are designed just for you. Your body, your time, your space. Perhaps it’s yoga, perhaps it’s a barre class. Perhaps it’s meditative or a joint class with your significant other. We can create something together.

Retreats

Sometimes you need to just get out of town. Sometimes with friends, sometimes not. Continue to check back in, to see what we have planned as a group retreat or we can design a package based on your needs and create a private retreat for you, your friends, your partner or your family. Email me the dates and what you are looking for and we will create something special.

Business Yoga

Help to create a zen den at your office. Whether you have space for mats or we pull the chair away from your desk, we will find a way to incorporate some exercise into your day. A healthy, balanced and productive team is priceless and yoga along with breathing techniques and anti-stress exercises can help. Exercises that will help both physical and mental well- being, bringing efficiency, creativity and a zen like atmosphere to your work environment.

About me…

I lived in New York City for 15 years. NY was fun and fast and FASHIONABLE (I worked in this industry for 20+ years). I loved it. Then an opportunity to move to Germany (random I know but I am ½ German) presented itself and I jumped (literally) and took a leap of faith. Leaving behind my beloved big apple, my friends, my family hoping for… something… change… I guess? Well I got it.

Shortly after moving to Munich, I did the unthinkable and left the only career I knew. I packed up my bags and took off for Africa (doesn’t everyone go on a safari by themselves?) Africa was really good to me. Africa gave me the space and time to think. Think about what I wanted out of life. What felt rewarding, what brought joy. What did I want from the world, what did I want to give the world. Traveling, visiting friends and making time for yoga were just a few things at the top of my list. As a birthday present to myself in 2017 (both big…present and birthday), I embarked on a yoga teacher training in India, marking the beginning of a brand new chapter…

Shortly after completing Jivamukti Teacher Training with Sharon Gannon in Mahastra, India I began teaching in Munich at various studios. I subsequently completed a Barre Fusion Teacher Training with Tanja Krodel in Munich as well as a Hormone Yoga Teacher Training with Dinah Rodrigues in Prague, Czech Republic. In 2020, I received my Pilates Teaching Certification with Anja Riesenberg in Munich.

Challenging classes with a soft approach. Creative, inspiring and surprising. My intention is to create an escape that allows everyone to have their “own time”. Time away from work, family and life. Time to draw inward, finding a center and a balance so that everyone may walk away feeling lighter, more focused and gently energized. All classes integrate creative sequences with music.

HIYO is that life-affirmative yoga high that you sometimes get after a great session. It’s that pep in your step, that smile in your soul.
