My Path to Yoga
My yoga story began quite unspectacularly - with a yoga class that my husband gave me for Christmas because I had been talking about trying yoga for a long time. From the very first class, I had a lot of fun and was full of energy.
I also managed to get my 78-year-old mother-in-law interested in yoga. Since then, she has been telling everyone how much better she feels since her first yoga class. Her flexibility has improved and even her blood pressure has dropped.
Her enthusiasm finally inspired me to start training as a yoga therapist. Before that, I always thought that yoga was only for particularly flexible people. But after just a few months, I felt the positive changes on a physical, mental and spiritual level.
I now want to share this valuable experience with others. Anyone - regardless of age - can start doing yoga. I look at my mother-in-law with great gratitude and respect, who showed me that it is never too late for anyone.
I would also like to thank my husband, who always supports me and is still at my side, as well as my inspiring yoga teacher Gisela Stauber, who encouraged me to train and was always there to help and advise me.
"Everyone starts where he is and what happens, happens..."

Viniyoga
Was ist Viniyoga ?
Viniyoga ist eine individuelle und therapeutische Yoga-Methode, die von T.K.V. Desikachar, dem Sohn des bekannten Yogameisters Krishnamacharya, entwickelt wurde. Der Begriff „Viniyoga“ stammt aus dem Sanskrit und bedeutet „passende Anwendung“ oder „angepasster Einsatz“. Es geht darum, Yoga an die individuellen Bedürfnisse, Fähigkeiten und Ziele des einzelnen Menschen anzupassen, anstatt von der Person zu verlangen, sich an eine bestimmte Yoga-Form anzupassen.
Die Hauptprinzipien von Viniyoga:
1. Individualisierung: Jede Übungspraxis wird an die körperlichen und mentalen Fähigkeiten des Einzelnen angepasst. Das Ziel ist, dass Yoga für alle zugänglich ist, unabhängig von Alter, Fitnesslevel oder Gesundheit.
2. Integration von Atem und Bewegung: Atem (Pranayama) spielt eine zentrale Rolle. Die Bewegungen werden stets im Einklang mit dem Atemfluss durchgeführt, was das Bewusstsein und die innere Ruhe fördert.
3. Schrittweises Vorgehen: Die Yoga-Praxis wird in Schritten aufgebaut, um sicherzustellen, dass der Körper und Geist sich langsam an die Übungen anpassen und die richtige Technik entwickelt wird. Dabei wird auf die Sicherheit und die Gesundheit des Praktizierenden geachtet.
4. Therapeutischer Ansatz: Viniyoga wird oft in einem therapeutischen Kontext angewendet, um spezifische gesundheitliche Probleme zu behandeln, sei es körperlich, geistig oder emotional.
5. Ganzheitlichkeit: Neben den Asanas (Körperhaltungen) und Pranayama werden auch Meditation und philosophische Aspekte des Yoga einbezogen, um Körper, Geist und Seele in Einklang zu bringen.
Für wen ist Viniyoga geeignet?
Viniyoga verfolgt die Philosophie, dass Yoga für jeden Menschen zugänglich sein sollte und passt sich den Bedürfnissen jedes Einzelnen an – ganz im Sinne von "Yoga für den Menschen, nicht der Mensch für Yoga".
"Yoga entfaltet seine Möglichkeiten erst dann wirklich umfassend, wirksam und tief, wenn die Yogapraxis den übenden Menschen angemessen ist, sich intensiv mit ihm, seinen Wünschen und Gegebenheiten verbinden kann."

Inner Peace through Yoga
In a hectic world, grounding and stability are crucial to maintaining balance and calm. Grounding connects us to the earth and helps reduce stress. Stability gives us the inner strength to overcome challenges.
Yoga supports these qualities through:
- Physical grounding: Asanas such as the mountain pose (Tadasana) or the tree pose (Vrksasana) promote balance and a stable foundation.
- Mental grounding: breathing exercises and meditation calm the mind and strengthen concentration.
- Emotional stability: Yoga helps you to stay centered, independent of external influences.
Grounding and stability are the basis for a balanced life. Through yoga you can build inner strength and approach challenges calmly.
