Yoga for Health
prevention courses, subsidized by your health insurance
What is a Prevention Course?
Admittedly, in English this sounds a little weird. The German “Präventionskurse” is not much better, though. But what are they? Prevention courses are closed courses giving you the opportunity to lay the foundations of an independent yoga practice. They take place over a few weeks and in a small groups. The course fees are subsidized by the German health insurances; conditional on your regular participation and the teacher’s certification with the “zentrale Prüfstelle für Prävention” (ZPP). For more information check the website of your health insurance.
With my certified courses, I aim to teach a sustainable, health-promoting yoga practice. We consciously practice the alternation of tension and relaxation and experience the connection between breath and movement. We discuss important alignment principles and combine basic asanas into meditative and creative movement sequences to create a relaxing and powerful, yet mindful, Hatha Yoga Flow.

Hatha Yoga I
Are you wondering what a sun salutation is or whether you are practicing it correctly? And how so many pushups, twists and backbends can actually be healthy? — Find out and lay the foundation for an independent yoga practice that is fun and helps you maintain your health!
The course “Hatha Yoga I” is designed as an introductory course. In a small group you will learn the basics of traditional Hatha Yoga or be given the opportunity to refresh your knowledge. Together we work towards different sun salutations, which you will eventually practice on your own.
Every class has a different focus, e.g. practicing certain asana, pranayama (breathing techniques), relaxation or meditation. We playfully practice important alignment principles and key actions and apply them in asana. We explore the interplay of breath and movement, tension and relaxation. The units build on one another to form the basis for your future yoga practice.

Yoga Intensive (Compact Course)
This 3-day course is designed for those who already have movement experience and are looking for an intensive practice and precise alignment. The course is ideal for you if you want to improve and expand your existing practice or have experiences in other sports and are new to yoga.
Together we will practice important key actions and alignment principles, explore the connection between breath and movement, and consciously practice the alternation of tension and relaxation. Eventually, we combine traditional asanas in creative and meditative movement sequences to create a soothing flow.
The course is structured systematically. Each class has a clear focus, e.g. certain asanas or biomechanical principles. Throughout the course, we bring these different elements together so that you can continue to develop your own healthy yoga practice.
Grow with your yoga!
