Anke Mein

About 10 years ago, a young woman joined us at Yogashala. She turned out to be dermatologist. We repeatedly conversed about eczema: I knew what it feels like and all about living with it. She was academically educated about it and had only seen effected, deformed and abnormal skin in…

Chris has been my guardian angel, best friend, lover, unconditional supporter and spiritual source throughout all the ups and downs that I personally and the two of us together lived through for nearly 3 decades. He opened the door to the fascinating world of yoga for me. I didn’t enter…

I have been working with M. in a private setting for the last 3 months. Being nearly 69, he’s young at heart and full of spirit. He had been suffering from a crippling stiffness and mind-dulling immobility in his lower back and pelvis for many years. In the back of…

Anke Mein

BURN OUT. None of us got an idea what it feels like until you fit the profile. I've been there myself and it took me years to recover and, most of all, consequently implement the necessary changes to prevent myself from ending up there repeatedly. It's easier to fall back…

Chris and I are on vacation. It is not the usual 3-week Summer break we had been taking for many years in a row. It's a short stay in the far West of Germany, enjoying the hospitality of welcoming friends, the stillness in the forests with its many shades of…

Anke Mein

The journey of true discovery lies not in finding new lands but in looking through new eyes. ~ Marcel Proust I’ve been feeling newly inspired in my yoga teachings lately. It is not that I discovered something new in yoga land. Instead, I received the silent invitation to look with…
