I have facilitated under the guidance of awakened masters during years of monastic life in India and Thailand, as well as retreats, festivals and conferences around the Globe.
My movement offerings embody a lighthearted, yet disciplined approach that honors the ever evolving arts of Yoga & Movement Alchemy as means to awakening our own unique wisdom pathways and creative potential for self-mastery and freedom.

Yoga
Movement Alchemy
Elemental Rites
Yoga
One-to-one & Group sessions
Solar Prana Vinyasa Flow
Energizing practice with continuous and fluid movements, guided by the rhythm of the breath as a dynamic movement meditation.
Awakening vitality through sun salutations (surya namaskar), followed by heart opening postures and deep relaxation.
Lunar Prana Vinyasa Flow
Gentle and cooling sequences of moon salutations (chandra namaskar) through slow & continuous movements, followed by soft inversions and deep relaxation.
Mandala Namaskar
A ritual Prana-Vinyasa movement meditation, where we balance the solar (purifying, energizing and muscle toning) and lunar (cooling, stretching and decompressing) attributes in our bodies.
Through the loving fusion of the complementing practices of Sun and Moon Salutations (Surya & Chandra Namaskar) to the four directions, we dive into pathways beyond the linear structures of contemporary yoga.
Movement Alchemy Journeys
One-to-one & Group sessions
Movement Meditation
Somatic journey through a continuous & effortless flow of sacred movement, breath and sound.
Weaving full body diagrams through spirals, wave-like and spherical movements, we play and explore the beauty of expanded coherence between body, heart and mind in a way that is accessible and pleasurable.
This synergy of wisdom teachings brings together elements of Yoga, Tai Ji Quan & Qi Gong, opening inner pathways for the life force to move freely with ease and joy.
Samadhi Dance
Movement journey exploring the power of the most ancient expression of Yoga, guided by the timeless forces of emotion (Bhava), feeling (Rasa), rhythm (Tala) and the creative life force (Prana Shakti).
When you allow the music to move freely through you, sensations, feelings and emotions, sounds, rhythms and melodies open you up to become receptive to the natural state of pure presence and bliss (Samadhi).
Elemental Rites
One-to-one & Group sessions
A complete & deeply energizing practice for higher vitality, physical strength and flexibility.
Based on the teachings of the 5 Tibetan Rites and its synergy with Vinyasa Krama Yoga, this movement exploration refines & tonifies the whole body. It also purifies & balances the endocrine system, generating inner alchemy to transform toxins into nectar.
When practiced regularly, this sequence generates profound rejuvenation and radiant health.
