Started practicing Bikram Yoga: 2004

Favourite posture: Balancing Stick

Why practice Bikram Yoga:

Makes my heart stay young and fit, feels amazingly revitalizing, reduces stress and keeps me fit for any challenge. Bullet Proof! Keeps me fit and calm as a mother of three kids and a business owner.

In continuation with where and how I started practicing Bikram Yoga, here’s my interesting story. Once (in 2004), I saw two men in a bar in Bondi, Sydney. They stood unusually upright at a counter and young and brave, as a friend and I were 😉 we asked them why they were standing there so straight and upright. One of the men then told us very seriously that his wife had a Bikram yoga studio and that he trained there regularly. Since I was studying sports at the time, I wanted to know more about this type of yoga and when I expressed my interest, the man invited us to take free yoga classes for the entire duration of our semester abroad, on the condition that we regularly use the mat three times a week. So I went through with it. After my first lesson I noticed that this type of movement, mimicking Indian temperature gave me something very special. Shortly before my departure back to Munich it was clear that three months later I would be training to become a Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher trained by Bikram himself at his training. On the last day in Sydney, my Australian Bikram Teachers predicted that I would open the first Bikram Yoga studio in Munich – and they were right. I became the founder of Bikram Yoga Munchen in 2006 and have been running the studio passionately ever since. This year we celebrate 19 years of being a pure Bikram Yoga School. I could not have done the studio part without my own Bikram Yoga practice and my amazing team of Bikram Yogis with good hearts 🙏🏽🧘🏼‍♀️♥️
