Helga is one of the few teachers worldwide who finished more then 500h YA Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Paul and Suzee Grilley in California. Yin Yoga came into her life in 2008 as a practice when she was living in Barcelona/ Spain, working there as an Architect and Hatha/ Vinyasa Yoga teacher (both since 2005/6) , yearning for more Yin quality in her busy and often times (stress)full life.
Besides studying with the Grilley’s she deepened her Yin studies in trainings with Biff Mithoefer, Sarah Powers, Jose de Groot and Josh Summers.
In 2011 she found her spiritual teacher, an female Indian Swami and Vedanta teacher, Swamini Pramananda, in the Indian Himalayas, since then she is traveling and guiding retreats there on a regular basis.

She often times co-teaches with her partner Lance Pema Wangchen, an US Buddhist who is sharing the path of Meditation, Compassion and Dharma.
Helga is teaching festivals and conferences, classes and workshops and with a teaching assignment for ‚Yoga and Mindfulness‘ at the university of Regensburg.
She is the author of the book ‚Yin Yoga‘ published at BLV in 2015 & 2017.
Her focus and her devotion are practicing and spreading of the quiet introspective practice of Yin Yoga, which has been greatly beneficial for her mind and body, inspiring her to spread and share the profound magic of the practice for the benefit of all beings.
