He started the practice in 1988 and has been supporting thousand of people in their healing process whereby he specialised in joint mobility and tendo-muscular complaints.
Anke accompanies her group class activities with all private classes that oftentimes are a fruitful combination of yoga practice and coaching. She amplifies the impact of the class content with her ability to read bodies, active listening and the application of a systemic approach to clients requests and intentions.
Chris: The classes I teach are meant to boost people’s lifes physically, emotionally and spiritually. I combine asanas (postures and movement), pranayama (breathing exercises, including mantras) and meditation (dynamic and in stillness). I wholeheartedly share my personal experiences of how to integrate yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle for vitality and longevity.
Anke: My teachings are for people who take themselves seriously and perceive yoga in its perfection and as a way of living. I present yoga with the inextricably linked techniques of asana, pranayama and meditation as self-reflection and awareness training. And share my experience of raising awareness as a step-by-step process to cultivate harmony, satisfaction and happiness.
