MY TEACHING APPROACH
Each student receives individual attention within the group setting, guided step by step through the practice. I meet you where you are - supporting your unique pace, respecting your body's needs, and helping you build a sustainable practice.
„My journey mirrors yours - from my first wobbly Sun Salutation in a small Zürich studio to 15 transformative years in Mysore. Now, as a mother of three, I blend deep tradition with Swiss precision and modern life demands. This is Ashtanga as it lives and breathes today - authentic, adaptable, and always evolving.“
