Renate Heiss

Alternative practitioner in the field of psychotherapy, Yoga therapist and yoga teacher

Renate Heiss brings her many years of experience as a psychologist and yoga therapist in a psychosomatic clinic and her own psychotherapy practice to the only yoga and psychotherapy centre she has founded in Germany to date.  She stands for the combination of yoga and therapy, theory and practice, academia and down-to-earth yoga fun. She herself has been practising Hatha Yoga and meditation for over 35 years and has specialised in Kundalini Yoga for the past 12 years, which has been proven to be therapeutically effective in many studies. The therapeutic impact factors of yoga, especially in relation to mindfulness, thinking, emotional regulation, self-efficacy and mental well-being, are always central to her, but above all the joy of movement and meeting people exactly where they are. Her yoga classes are characterised by liveliness and creativity, music and relaxation. She is always happy to answer questions about the background and philosophy.
 
Renate's motto: ‘Yoga is psychosomatics!’, about which she will give a lecture. In the yoga autumn, she would like to invite you on an encounter with your inner child: a journey to your emotions, which can be deeply influenced and transformed through yoga.

Anke Egger

Yoga offers a framework for feeling, trying out, playing and exploring: "How does "this" feel right now? What do I need today? What is too much?" We combine breath and movement to bring awareness into the body and strengthen the connection to ourselves. In the process, we repeatedly take pauses for feeling. Dynamic, playful and "without eso". For everyone who enjoys movement.

Bibiana Weiermayer-Schmid

Hatha / Kundalini / Elemental Yoga

 

For Bibiana, yoga is an inner journey on which you develop a new awareness of your body and gradually explore yourself anew on a mental and spiritual level. Habits and patterns can be questioned and discarded and on the journey into the inner depths you can rediscover, feel and reinvent yourself.

In her yoga classes, she wants to show people of different ages and constitutions ways to develop an intimate relationship with themselves and their bodies, to develop joy in movement, to expand personal boundaries and to regenerate sustainably. It is particularly important to her to use the healing elemental power of the elements, but also to honor it.

Bibiana always pursues a holistic approach, integrating her many years of experience as a health and relaxation trainer, sound therapist and coach.

More serenity, joie de vivre and heart energy, as well as a deep connection to creation in people's everyday lives: this is what she wants to contribute to in her yoga classes.

Fia Sonora

Sanskrit-Teacher; Meditation, Pranayama, Moon and Incense Rituals, Yin Yoga ,Mixed Movement, Capoeira, Budokon Yoga.

Fia LOVES movement. She wants to create a place where people like to move and come together to get to know themselves better. A place to reconnect with yourself - body AND mind.

One of the most fulfilling tasks for Fia is to share and pass on her own joy of movement with other people. After all, growth comes from curiosity and learning something new as a result.

She has been practicing yoga for 15 years and also the art of capoeira. A rhythmic Brazilian fight-dance game with acrobatics and a lot of mobility.

Capoeira is an expression of freedom and in this sense each and every Capoeirista is given a name that expresses his or her personal character - Fia Sonora means "daughter of the desert".

Fia has been a full-time yoga teacher for several years and has completed several hundred hours of yoga teacher training. Among them Iyengar Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Inside Flow, Yin Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Synergy Yoga and Budokon Yoga.

Yoga and Capoeira are both ways of expressing inner and outer worlds through movement. One goes more inward, the other more outward.
Both are important because, as you know, the inside is reflected in the outside.

That's why, in her Mixed Movement Yoga sessions, she combines the experiences and insights from both systems into a holistic style of yoga that she is happy and passionate to share with anyone interested.

"My classes are a fusion of tradition and modernity, of philosophy and science, of the spaces within us and the spaces around us.
My Yoga & Movement sessions are liberating, releasing and sometimes challenging.

However, without overwhelming your own abilities, but rather expanding and extending your possibilities.

Flowing, playful, powerful, feminine and gentle at the same time. Always with the goal that YOU can grow beyond YOUR own limits and expand your awareness of yourself and others. My intention is to CONNECT the inner and outer world through yoga.

Above all, it is about finding YOUR own physical expression - experiencing EMBODIMENT through MOVEMENT. Grounding and finding your way back to SELF."

Your personal wellbeing creates gentle waves, inspiring those around you to deep unity and peace, our natural existence. Flora helps you to remember this. Supporting and holding people in their personal development and creating a benevolent environment for this fulfills me deeply. The practice and teachings of yoga are her motivation to constantly grow and question. In carefully chosen words, she guides you into your power, inspired by connection and transformation. In her role as a yoga teacher, she tells stories to guide you into connection with all that is.

Katharina Wieser-Lubenik

Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga
I was born and grew up in the mountains and in the nature of Zell am See. The love of movement has always been a part of me. As an adult I was drawn to the big world, where I finally finally came into contact with yoga for the first time. And it was there immediately: the feeling of having arrived to have arrived! YOGA! Back then it was Ashtanga yoga, power yoga and a lot of sweat. Today yoga means means so much more to me than just movement. It means mindfulness, awareness, understanding, compassion, healing, joy, depth and breadth, change, stillness and, above all, love. Love for myself towards myself and love towards my fellow human beings and all living beings. It gives me a lot of health and helps me to master life better every day. It strengthens me in moments of weakness of weakness and reassures me in others. Yoga gives me the space to be a better person. to be a better person. My love of Yin Yoga and Functional Yoga characterises my teaching style. The greatest magic lies deep within us, and I teach with my heart, soul and body to recognise this.

Mark Dowe

Vinyasa Flow, Vinyasa Krama, Bhakti Yoga, Yin Yang Fusion & Mindfulness.

Mark has been passionate about the possibilities of the human body his entire life. He began teaching movement over 20 years ago and followed his great passion, working as a professional dancer for 15 years. But it was through his yoga practice that all these different experiences came together. The play between body, mind and spirit brought a deeper meaning to his teaching as well as to his own life, and always with a lot of humor and good humor.

Mark's philosophy is simple, "Take the practice seriously, but don't take yourself so seriously while you practice."

The love and fascination for yoga and for teaching himself shines through all of his classes and everyone is invited to this celebration on the yoga mat. Although he is trained in a wide variety of yoga styles, he knows that there is really only one yoga.... And that we can approach this path with joy.
He wants to create new access points for as many people as possible, to show them that this 3000-year-old philosophy and practice is still relevant to our modern lives.
And he wants to remind everyone that it's just one big dance with the universe anyway.

Petra Janata is a certified clinical and health psychologist, she teaches Vinyasa-Flow-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga and health yoga.

Hatha Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Ayurvedische Yoga Massage

YOGA is not just physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation - it is an inner attitude and, with practice, becomes more and more a state of being that manifests itself in everyday life, in interpersonal relationships and in dealing with oneself.

In a mindful and loving class, participants can develop their own deep understanding, awareness and mindfulness of uniqueness, their personal abilities, limits and challenges.

Petro Haffenrichter

The key to developing an open mind and a reflective openness to life is to keep curiosity and concentration alive. Through yoga, we develop finer levels of consciousness and eventually realize that we literally hold the key to happiness in our hands when we learn to differentiate between conditioned behavior and freedom. Ultimately, we change our perception of reality and open a path to liberation.

Growing up in different cultures, Petros learned early on to appreciate life as a union of opposites. Life is exciting but demanding, beautiful but challenging, graceful but incomprehensible through mere logic. Through yoga, art, music and empathy, it is possible to accept all parts of this game as equally meaningful and as opportunities for learning and insight.

Sarah von Derschatta

Somatic Yin Yoga

At the beginning of her yoga practice, Sarah thought for a long time that she was ‘not flexible enough for yoga’. But yoga is much more than just using your hands to reach your feet or doing acrobatic asanas. Her classes are therefore about realising that yoga can give you an incredible amount and also bring you a lot of joy. For her, yoga means giving herself time and perhaps (re)finding a piece of herself on the mat. Yoga also helps her personally to calm and focus her ‘monkey mind’. Or simply to calm down.

Since becoming a mum last year, she has focused her teaching on the Somatic Yin practice. In this special type of yin yoga, classic restorative yin poses are combined with somatic movement to create a completely personalised yin experience. The perfect opportunity to simply let go, drift, float and look inwards.

When Sarah teaches ‘normal’ flow classes, she always follows the principle of ‘yoga for everyone’ - in other words, with a focus on ensuring that everyone can participate, whether they are beginners or advanced yogis.

Ulrike Schablin

Yoga is for Ulrike the most beautiful way to improve your quality of life and at the same time do something for your health.

She has been involved in bodywork for more than 20 years. Ulrike's understanding of it and her anatomical knowledge have been sharpened by numerous education and training courses, as well as several sports injuries. In 2002 she moved from the fitness industry into the yoga world with Power Yoga. Since 2007 Ulrike has been teaching Jivamukti Yoga®.

Jivamukti Yoga is a powerful, dynamic style of yoga and was developed in 1984 by Sharon Gannon and David Life. The holistic concept is understood as a path to enlightenment through compassion towards all beings.

Jivamukti Yoga is based on five pillars: ahimsa = non-violence and especially ethical veganism, bhakti = devotion: every practice is given an intention, chanting is understood as an expression of joy of life and humility, nada = intensive listening inwardly and outwardly: practice is done in the classes to specially selected music, shastra = study of classical texts such as Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, BhagavadGita or the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, dhyana = meditation and connection to a spiritual entity.

Regular trainings with Yoga Medicine® by Tiffany Cruikshank, Para Yoga Nidra® trainings by Rod Stryker and many more, continue to inspire her teaching today.

As a yoga instructor for Safs&Beta Kg Bildungsakademie, Ulrike has been helping numerous aspiring yoga teachers launch their careers since 2008.
