Yoga in Baden und Kirchdorf (Baden)

After my training as an elementary school teacher (1985) and as a musician (1991), I became more interested in the connections between body and psyche. As a musician, I had already learned that the sound of my instrument and its effect depend to a great extent on the physical and mental state of my playing. I wanted to learn about the different ways to influence the mental and spiritual state of mind through body, breath and movement.

Many years of personal experience and continuing education in various body-oriented forms of therapy and expression (Alexander Technique, Feldenkreis, Tai Chi, massage, etc.) have led me back to yoga again and again. I have been practicing yoga regularly since 1993. I completed my yoga teacher training YS from 2006 to 2010 at Lotos Yoga Basel and Zurich.

I experience yoga as a very everyday path. The careful and conscious handling of body, posture and breath noticeably changes my existence in the world and my physical and psychological well-being.

For me personally, both yoga and music are inner or spiritual paths that begin with the body and breath, but lead far beyond. Yoga offers me the opportunity to anchor my consciousness firmly in the body and at the same time give it wings. In a musical context, I can experience myself becoming an instrument played by a higher authority, so to speak. With my oboe, I am then only a mediator between the spiritual world in which the music is created and the physical world in which it sounds. A mediator between the worlds is also Kokopelli, the shamanistic flute player (see logo). I met his figure at the very beginning of my yoga path and he has been my constant companion ever since.

I have been working as an instrumental teacher at various schools since 1987 and play as an oboist in various formations. Since 2007 I have been teaching as a Diplom. Yoga teacher YCH own groups.
