August 31 – September 1, 2024

9 AM – 6:00 PM

Sunday
9 AM – 5:30 PM

Yin Yoga is an amazing practice that allows us access to our physical, energetic and emotional bodies, focusing on patterns of tension and unprocessed emotions as they arise in our consciousness, shift, and release.

Once we become more open and receptive – present to what is – the practice of coaching allows us to go deeper and move forward by exploring our deeper wants, needs and the limiting beliefs that hold us back, leading to an increased awareness of ‘hidden jewels’ – our inner and outer resources – that are the key to increased freedom and a vibrant life.

All are welcome!

My journey has been an ongoing process of self-development, expression and evolution. Born and raised in NYC,  I grew up in Harlem, Greenwich Village and the Lower East side. As culturally diverse as it get’s.  As  the great Yogi Mark Whitwell has paraphrased, “ There is nothing but a loving nurturing force”.  That loving force has guided and protected me without fail. Life is not to be figured out, it is to be lived and lived well! For me nothing is more true.

Already as a child I was exposed to the Raja Yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda – a path that pinnacled with my Kriya Yoga Initiation in 1986.  After a long exploration of life and a career as a Chef, Dj and Music Event Producer, I found myself in East Hampton (NY), where I was exposed to the Osho Sanyassins! Inspired by these creative community, I rediscovered my interest in yoga and self-development and traveled to the Osho Center in Pune (India)  1998.  At first for three weeks and later to stay several month to study different healing techniques such as  Diamond Breathwork, Active Meditations, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage,  and Emotional Process Work.

After my studies in India, I felt a calling to go to Thailand, where I taught and practiced Ayurveda Yoga Massage at the healing and detox center ‘The Sanctuary’ (Koh Phangan).   Soon I was invited to share my teachings also in Europe.. It was in London I met some great Yogis who introduced me to Hatha Yoga. Mark Whitwell, Howard Napper, Gary Carter and David Sye.  I had the pleasure of working with the last 3 as a therapist in their events and workshops and center’s.   During this time I began to experience great success as a therapist and as a teacher of Ayurvedic Yoga Massage.   I had great luck in London I appeared on The Ruby Wax Show, Terry and Gabby Show and almost a dozen features in local and national magazines and newspapers.  I had the priviledge of working at in Triyoga and the Life Center as a therapist. 

2007 I cooperated with Lene Hansson, teaching and practicing at her healing center in Copenhagen. A path that was so successful and satisfying that I finally moved to Denmark where I lived for nearly a decade working during the summer in Europe and during the winter in Asia. 

 In 2010 while visiting the Sanctuary Resort in Kohphangan,Thailand on a working holiday I met my current teacher and mentor Peter John Clifford of Anahata Yoga who has been one of my primary sources of inspiration and detailed teaching in Hatha Yoga. .  I taught at FitnessDK, WellCome Fitness and began my Yoga School Vibrantly Alive Yoga, leading independent 200-hour trainings in Copenhagen. During my time in Denmark I led 6 200 hour trainings. Since 2015 I live with my wife Birgit in Vienna.
