I am the creator of Dynamic Mindfulness, a contemporary yoga school that blends the profound wisdom of Zen Buddhism with cutting-edge movement science. But don’t worry, it’s not all serious business. I like to keep things playful and unexpected.
In the bustling yoga scene of Berlin and Germany, I’ve been the trailblazer, revolutionising the way we approach movement in yoga. With a focus on evidence-based practices, self-agency, consent, and yoga as meditation in motion, I’m here to challenge the norms.
My approach to spirituality is refreshingly down-to-earth – with a sprinkle of quirkiness. You might catch me making musical and philosophical references during class, taking you on a journey that goes far beyond just the yoga mat.
I created Dynamic Mindfulness school brainstorming with my best friend in my living room, about the values and content I want to put out there in the world.
I knew I wanted to create training that points back to meditation. After all, asana means a steady and easy seat.
I also wanted to put the bar high and ask of my students to take time and invest themselves in the process, to ask questions rather than to seek for the know-how. To be ok with the imperfections and impermanence of attitudes and knowledge and for the inquiry to be the goal. That’s what I received from my teachers, as well.
Gurus and masters of the contemporary yoga scene really annoyed me, as well as the branding of the yoga body as white, skinny, and hyperflexible. I wanted to create training that will deconstruct all that.
The end result was Dynamic Mindfulness, a teacher training that promotes meditation, evidence-based movement, inclusivity and self-agency in practice.
