Originally born in South Germany, I came to Crete, the island of light, after completing my apprenticeship as a stage designer and studying art and technic. I already had realized that life is much more than what the eyes can see, the the inner journey had begun and yoga & meditation came into my life as well as different energy healing methods.and massages..
I am a trained Hatha Yoga teacher (Iyengar & Shivananda yoga, Flow yoga & Yin yoga ) and a Reiki master. In 1993 I started my yoga education in Crete in Heraklion after being the first time in India and in 2001 I did my yoga teacher training in the Bahamas. I also got my 1, 2 and Reikimaster initiation in those years, now I teach more than 15 years.
I opened the Yoga & Healing Center Om Shanti and run it now with my life-partner Kostas Siddhart (who is from Crete and is also on the path of truth) He is cooking the delicious vegetarian food (Yogic, Ayurvedic and Cretan, all organic and from local traders) He is also responsible for our vegetable garden & since his passion is music and he was a DJ for many years, he also plays the beautiful spiritual music (ambient, chill out, mantras) during the seminars and leads through the dancing meditation.
We have spent many winters in India, me deepening my practice studying with Iyengar & Sivananda yoga teachers.Also in ashrams where we had been learning & deepening pranayama and meditation techniques as well as a yoga that goes much further than the physical exercise. Vipasana , Advaita Vedanta, the question Who am I ...and Kirtan ( i also play Harmonium) are supporting me since many years.The last few years we have been with the enlightened master Mooji ji a lot , for his satsangs in Rishikesh.
Yoga also puts me in my center again and again and shows me what is essential in life, namely to meet things with serenity and joy. I try to pass this on, among other things, in my seminars and yoga classes..
We are very happy to share our experience with you.
