über Franzi
I have found Yoga in my twenties while being at University. After nearly 15 years of dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice there was a natural and organically happening shift into the Black Lotus Yoga.
For me, yoga is an invitation to connection. To the hidden realms of one’s self. To the inner depths. To other beings. To the energy of the universe. Yoga means deep and receptive listening. A listening in which everything that is is allowed to be there. Yoga means giving space. It opens the possibility of love.
Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass man durch das Üben der Black Lotus Yoga-Sequenzen Kraft und Flexibilität aufbauen und die Gesundheit verbessern kann. Darüber hinaus eröffnet Yoga den Zugang zu einem philosophischen System, das jeden Lebensbereich bereichert.
I am grateful to have been able to study and practice Yoga with teachers that, to me, saw through the more superficial layers of practice right into the core of it. People who gave me the sense that I was met – not only as an aspiring student but as a human being. I am beyond grateful for Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor and Ty Landrum. I learned traditional pranayama from Robert Moses (Namarupa).
For my teaching, I draw on precise knowledge of asana, pranayama, and philosophy, as well as my many years of teaching experience internationally and in various contexts, including government institutions in Germany.
I find inspiration in my own practice, daily walks in the forest, my teachers, the ideas of Jiddu Krishnamurti, and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
