I aim to transform our approach to movement into a practice that truly works for us rather than against us.

I want to return Yoga and Sports, which is what Yoga is often considered to be, to a practice aligning and moving with nature. We are a beautiful, noble part of nature. Nature and its principles are our guide. Nature holds out those rewards that we often invest in heavily and which we seek through work-outs - rewards like mental equilibrium, a desirable physique and a feeling of well-being.

Yoga has traditionally been about our (re-)union with nature, yet this aspect has tended to fade in the modern era. Yoga means to yoke, to unite. It is a science that reveals, step by step, in theory and practice, how we as individuals can unite ourselves with the Divine, the force expressing itself in nature. Since yoga is about this reunification with nature, the physical part of yoga, i.e. the practice of Āsanas, reunifies our movement with nature to restore the natural order within us.

Nature is always in motion. There is no such thing as motionless. Nature moves with ease in the alchemic process of circulation: the process of changing something from one element into another.

Circulation is stimulated by change and contrast, which ultimately means by achieving balance. To promote circulation, we move from expansion to contraction and from contraction to expansion, … Ease is the prerequisite for this dance between these two different states.

This change can be effected both actively, by moving, as well as passively, i.e. externally, by means of treatments. Yoga is an active approach and to ensure attainment of the ultimate effect I have also integrated a passive approach in the form of Kneipp-based applications.
