Yoga & Relaxation – Mindful and Intuitive Classes
Yoga and meditation: strength, balance, and relaxation for body and mind
Calm, accessible yoga classes where you get out of your head and reconnect with your body.
By paying attention to breath, conscious movement, and relaxation, space, balance, and a deeper connection with yourself emerge.
What you can expect
Yoga is for individuals of all ages and all levels of experience and fitness. I tailor my class to your needs and capabilities. Therefore, it does not matter whether you are just starting out or have years of experience. Or whether you have physical limitations or not.
The exercises can vary from powerful to very gentle.
I guide you in a way that is positive, motivating, achievable, and enjoyable.
In the class, attention is paid to:
- relaxation and slowing down
- breathing
- conscious movement
- releasing tension
Many people experience my classes as personal, calming, accessible, and enriching.
Type of yoga
The foundation of my yoga classes lies in Hatha yoga, supplemented by other styles such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yin yoga.
I incorporate various breathing techniques, Vipassana—mindfulness meditation.
The form and intensity of the class are tailored to your wishes and capabilities, or those of a group.
For example, I regularly teach yin yoga classes, mindfulness, or chair yoga for seniors.
My Teaching Style
I teach with calm, attention, and intuitive attunement, but also with humor.
No pressure to perform or feel what is good for you, but an invitation to feel what is good for you
My background lies in:
- yoga and meditation (over 30 years)
- mindfulness (master)
- Reiki (master)
- Massage therapist
- body awareness and relaxation
My classes align with this: simple, calm, and profound.
Yoga is certainly not just about being quiet, holding a difficult pose, and being serious.
There is definitely laughter in my classes too. We share stories and create a pleasant and safe environment where everyone can be themselves.

Yoga and mindfulness classes for clients and companies
I work independently, in a tailored manner, and with attention to the group and the environment.
Reliability, calmness, and flexibility are central to my way of working.
A yoga class can be a one-off session, for example during an event, or consist of multiple classes over a longer period.
Depending on the company’s wishes, the emphasis can be placed on a more active form or, conversely, very gentle yoga, with extra attention to breathing exercises or meditation.
The length of the class, location, and content are all open for discussion and flexible.
Feel free to contact me for possibilities.
A combination with energetic Reiki treatments and massage is also possible.

My years of experience with yoga, vipassana meditation and mindfulness
About 30 years ago, I took my first step into a yoga studio. What started with weekly classes, changed over time to more frequently. Realizing yoga offered me so much more, I deepened my practice through training, courses and retreats in the years that followed. It was till around 10 years ago that things came together and I felt confident to start teaching myself. Teaching others is learning a lot as well.
Almost parallel of my yoga practice, I did a first Vipassana meditation training. My main reason was to become calmer and to release tensions. This training was quite a challenge both physically and mentally and offered me more then to release stress. During the Vipassana silent retreats I truly learned to observe and practice non-judgment more and that pain can be your best friend. These retreats gave me a great insight about myself.
I meditate regularly, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, sometimes briefly, sometimes for a long time, and sometimes not for a while. There is no rule how often and how long you should practice.
To deepen my practice and knowledge, I started a master study of Mindfulness in 2018.
As an extension of vipassana, I practice this every day. As the day is full of opportunities to do something with attention, to take a step back, to reflect upon yourself, to feel what is going on, to take a break. No day, no moment is the same and you continue to develop every day. And to try to be better tomorrow.
In 2022 I started providing mindfulness training to companies.
