My Why
I offer Chair Yoga for young and older people because it is an accessible and effective method for promoting health and well-being.
My journey into Chair Yoga began with the 200h Hatha Yoga training at the Vitalakademie Linz. During my thesis on Yin Yoga in the menopausal years, I discovered the power of gentle yoga styles. In a performance-oriented society, I wanted to create more balance – that’s why I followed a training with Stefanie Arend as well as a lot of self-practice and further education.
Shortly after my training in Sesselyoga teacher at the Vienna Yoga School & at Willem Wittstamm's Yoga 50+ Academy I received an inquiry from the Enns Senior Club – my introduction to teaching older people, which was received with great enthusiasm and has had a lasting impact on me.
Today I teach people of all ages.
Yoga is for me a path that is accompanied by curiosity, joy, and lifelong learning.

My values
Care and support:
Chair Yoga stands for care and support – it enables yoga in a gentle environment, regardless of physical conditions or limitations.
Holistic health – body, mind & soul:
Chair Yoga strengthens holistic health – promotes physical fitness, mental clarity and emotional well-being. It creates space for tranquility and inner balance.
Community & Connection:
Chair Yoga brings people together – for shared practice, exchange, and learning. For me, it is enriching to experience and accompany this connection in my groups.
