Katja
In addition to my work as a flight attendant and mother of three children and two dogs, yoga carries me through the mostly hectic everyday life in which we want to meet all the demands and thus forget or forget to perceive ourselves. In yoga I find the connection to myself again, can let go and calm down the carousel of thoughts, so that I can focus on the essentials again.
It is close to my heart that my participants leave my classes more relaxed, energized and with a clear mind. I teach a powerful, dynamic flow surrounded by quiet moments to reflect, gather and refuel.
