About this Retreat
I first encountered yoga in the early 1990s. I wanted to exercise and relax, and found both in the Satyananda tradition. The effects of regular practice created a beneficial balance to my work in business at the time. Since 2002, I have also been passing on my yoga experience in classes. For the first few years, I worked as an instructor at the Gisela Bosrup Yoga School in Magdeburg, and after completing my yoga teacher training with Janavallabah Das Jürgen Wloka in 2011, I opened my own school, “Devi,” in Flechtingen (Börde district near Haldensleben).
Here I offer tantra yoga, dearmauring, massages, breathwork, and Ayurvedic counseling. The individual retreats for women are very popular. During these retreats, you can immerse yourself in the tantric world for a few days in my refuge, find peace and regain your strength, and start your life feeling refreshed and inspired.
Workshops on health and well-being and tantric group retreats complement my repertoire.
I want to encourage people to experience and explore themselves, to encounter their different facets with openness, experimentation, and wonder. I like to incorporate sounds, whether through mantra chanting, guitar accompaniment, or singing bowls.
Various further training courses in anatomy and philosophy (including with Dr. Ronald Steiner), course instructor for eye training (Institute for Vision Training W. Hätscher-Rosenbauer), Tibetan sound massage (BYVG), Asana Flow trainer (BYVG), Access The Bars®, Satyananda Yoga Nidra®, tantric bodywork (Armour Lifting Bodywork, Tantric Dearmouring), Chakra Balancing, and Hypnobreath, as well as my many years as an instructor at TantraXperience, led me on my path.
