Who I am
On the outside, everything worked. A doctorate in the sciences, leading a team, competent. On the inside, it did not add up. At some point, burnout and depression came.
The way back did not lead through more thinking. It led through the body. I have been meditating for 13 years. I trained in Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Kundalini Kriya Yoga, more than 1000 hours, some of it in India. Today I study occupational therapy and guide people along the path I walked myself.
The practice
Stress and exhaustion do not only sit in your head. They sit in your nervous system. That is where this practice starts.
A Kriya is a set sequence of breath, movement, mantras and mudras (hand positions), each aimed at a specific effect. One calms, another activates, a third releases tension.
In the yoga tradition, Kundalini is the life energy in the body. Kundalini Yoga is about waking this energy and teaching the nervous system to hold it.
I combine Kriyas with flowing movement such as sun salutations, with breathwork and meditation. No complicated postures, no experience needed. You finish in calm, not exhaustion.
Not exercise, not a relaxation drill. A practice that asks for seriousness, and then it works.

“Normally my head is always very, very full of other thoughts. I felt the energy flowing through my whole body. The calm afterwards lasted well into the evening.”
“I went without much yoga experience and was a little nervous at the start. I left the workshop deeply relaxed and with a feeling of happiness.”
“It was remarkable how the Kundalini Yoga grounded me and got my energy flowing. I felt full of energy, arrived in myself and at rest within.”

The reasons differ. The core is always the same: you have lost contact with your feelings, your needs and your body. The first step back to yourself is this meditation.

Questions
I have never done yoga.
No problem. More than 60 percent of my clients come without any yoga experience. I guide you through every exercise.
I am not flexible at all.
It does not matter. It is not about a particular posture, it is about what an exercise sets off in you.
Do I have to sing or chant?
Mantras are part of it. You can join in or stay quiet.
How do private sessions online work?
We meet by video. You practise at home, I guide you and adapt the Kriyas to you.
Does this replace therapy?
No. My guidance does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. It can complement it. If you are in treatment, talk to your specialist about it.
What if it gets too much?
Then you stop and rest. That is explicitly allowed.
