What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

“Because it is good for my health, I have decided to be happy” Voltaire With Voltaire’s saying, we are passionate about creating a place where people feel warmly welcome to lean back, relax, and reconnect to true self. There is nothing more beautiful see people transforming into blossoming kind beings, leave worries behind and reconnect to a fulfilled life. Followed by the question: “Who Am I” developing resilience to turn personal crisis into opportunities and let life be a constant unfolding mystery to grow vigorously into an understanding human being."

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

First of everyone: my parents giving me life, my sister and brother for her always supportive company, my first trainee Elisabeth Spallek, Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen the creator of Body-Mind Centering for her deep understanding and transmission into Body-Mind and Soul. Adam B. my spiritual teacher guiding us deeper into heart, humanness & nothingness, Florence Briot, Fanny Behrens, Kate Pyper companions in the endless exploration of heart and being, my Yoga Teacher Vidya Jacqueline Heisel for her endless creativity and deep understanding of the Yoga Philosophy, Janet Stone for her well structured, clear Yoga teaching, my partner Eduardo for his constant support & sharing the same dream, thriving together in all the ups and downs of running a business together as a couple.
