I always love to give interviews about yoga.
What can I do? It is just my favorite topic to talk about...

This time I talked with Jason Cole from Beyond the Mat about my journey, about teaching, finding meaning and of course, my second favorite topic: Depression...

Have a great time listing!

I'm speaking with Or Shahar who is the founder of Freedom Yoga all the way over in Germany (That's right folks, Beyond the Mat has gone International again!). Or has created her own workshops and online programs after going through some clinical depression before becoming a yoga teacher and we're go...

Another great talk I had is now available online for you to listen to.
It is a real previlige to talk to pepole about yoga freely and openly and to have this recorded for other pepole to listen.

Or Shahar took her first yoga course over 10 years ago during her first trip to India, at only 18 years old. At 23, recovering from depression, she took a plane to India again, where she discovered her deep connection to Buddhism, took her first

At the moment, I think this is really the best way the world can use me.

My hope is that this website will be of benefit to every person how is suffering from depression and is considering yoga as something that might help. because as the title says: Depression Sucks, Yoga Helps

Let me know what you think...

"Hapiness is an Inside Job"

It became such a cliche that mindfulness (whatever you understand under that) is going to make your life much better and make you happier.
I usually sigh with boredom when I see something like this video.
But surprisingly, this video explains in a very good way how mindfulness can actually help us break old habits.

Try it out- Instead of categorizing the habit ad bad and avoiding it, just try to really feel yourself

We tell ourselves we deserve nicer things because we’ve earned them. We need to act and look like the type of people that do well. Especially on our social media feeds! I can’t Instagram my $3 flip-flops getting out of my fancy car, I won’t get 1,000 likes!

So... I am doing this!
It took some time but I have decided to take myself on a new adventure in a new direction. I want to help people handle their depression better through yoga.

As I am trying to learn from past mistakes, I want to ask you what you think before I start to create my offerings.

Sometimes you need to help somebody so they can help you...
So first I need your help.

Whatever your struggle with depression is behind you or you are still in the midst of it, if you will be kind enough to give 5 minutes of your time and answer this 10 questions, I will be forever grateful and much smarter (and feel much more confident about this whole thing)

If you are lucky enough to not be in my target audience Please Share! This will help us a lot as well. I am sure you have at least one friend who can benefit from this.

In this small eBook, I would like to share with you my experiences about how to l make your spiritual practice deeper, helping you transform your life into a more positive one.

Because, let’s face it: If you don’t go deep if you don’t really make a continuous effort, nothing happens.

The transformation you will experience will be as shallow or as deep as your work.

Look, I’m not the one to tell you what to do and I’m all for keeping yourself inspired. But, can I share something that I learned as a teacher, as a student, and from personal pain?

My favorite way to keep up with yoga stuff and to stay inspired is to listen to yoga podcasts. My two favorites are Yogagirl and J. Brown Yoga. I know it seems impossible to like so two dramatically different teachers, but this is exactly the kind of multidimensional perspective I need in this crazy days.

A topic that bothers both of them a lot, and subsequently me too, is the long-necessary arrival of the movement in yoga-land.

Woman are finally speaking up and big time. Communities are changing, questions are being asked and black and white answers are on high-demand.

I truly believe that these extremely sensitive questions are impossible to answer with generalization.
Maybe it is the perfect teaching in non-dualism and its connection to acceptance and compassion. The only way out is through in self-inquiry.

I know, I needed to do some. And as I often do, I have put it into writing:
