I still remember my very first Ashtanga Yoga class. The calming sound of the Ujjayi breath had me immediately and I fell in love with it. Breathing, moving, sweating, resting and unfolding – a lifelong journey has begun. 

Yoga classes became my escape from a busy life in the corporate world. The mat was my place to recharge. My weak and aching body got stronger, more flexible and healthier. My mind calmed down, as with every in- and exhalation thoughts and worries faded away. After classes, my view towards myself and the world was a clearer and kinder one. I have always felt the most beautiful after practicing, being fully myself. 

Following my strong desire to dive deeper into this ancient philosophy, I enrolled in my first education in 2013. Many more followed the coming years. Humbly, I am adding piece by piece to a greater picture.

Especially, the first years felt most transforming and life changing for me. Both physically and emotionally, I went far beyond my imagined limitations. I started to trust my clear intuitions, even though they often seemed very scary. Looking back, overcoming these fears, gifted me in the end always with personal growth.

Listening to my heart, I quite radically choose a new path. Despite all reason and loud noises surrounding me, I moved on from my life in Austria. Spending the following 5 years in Singapore, where not only my beloved son, but also Matlove Yoga was born. Pregnancy, giving birth and especially the postpartum healing phase gave my own Yoga practice, but also my teaching, a different direction. A new space opened up; one fore more understanding and acceptance. Living life in alignment with both physical and mental needs – on and off the mat.

Opening my own little shala made a dream come true and I can’t wait to share some Yoga sparkle at this wonderful place of the world.
