I joined my first Iyengar Yoga class in 2012 at the Larchmont Center for Yoga in Los Angeles, and I have practicing ever since. What attracted me to Iyengar Yoga specifically was how the physical practice, the asana, became the focus to a much greater experience, whether physical, physiological, psychological, philosophical...  In Iyengar Yoga classes, nothing was ever presupposed, nothing was ever superfluous: every instruction and each pose had its place in the entire sequence. This resulted in a sense of quiet curiosity and a desire to delve deeper and understand more.

 

By 2017 I had become  a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles (IYILA). I have  continued to study with senior Iyengar Yoga teachers to deepen my understanding of the practice and teaching of yoga. I teach  yoga for everybody and every body, always with a strong awareness of limitations, my own and those of my students, and always with an eye to overcoming—or at least pushing back against—these limitations each time.

 

In addition to yoga I translate  German writing on art, architecture, and aesthetics into English and has moved from riding fixed gear bicycles across Los Angeles to riding the surroundings of Tübingen in Germany.
