Although I am grateful to be born in a rich and safe country Luxembourg, I was always passionate about traveling to discover new cultures and to explore the diversity of yoga styles.

Long before becoming a teacher myself, yoga was an essential part of my life. In 2004, I met Michael Hamilton, a South African Ashtanga yoga teacher, in Shanghai and he inspired me to take the next step and to enroll for the Sivananda Yoga Teacher’s training in India.

Many years later, after countless workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings, I was still under the spell of yoga. I am thankful for the precious tool of yoga, which saved my life more than once and makes me constantly grow. Diving deeper into the physical as well as the spiritual yoga practice is an ongoing process and a never-ending journey.

I have been blessed to meet the most incredible and inspiring mentors and all of them influenced my own teaching enormously. Dechen Thurman and Anja Kühnel, both vegan activists, introduced and awakened my love for Jivamukti Yoga. I bow down with gratitude to the founders of this method, Sharon Gannon and David Life. Cameron Shayne, creator of Budokon, taught me how to cultivate my inner warrior and to be fearless. Duncan Wong, the most fabulous martial artist and yogi, showed me how to overcome my own limiting thoughts and believes and aim for the stars and Rolf Naujokat, who brings me back to my roots, Ashtanga yoga.

I discovered Vipassana meditation in South Africa and it became part of my daily routine.

In 2008, I created my first studio, yoga room, followed by yogaloft. Luxembourg in 2012, before moving to Cape Town in 2016, where I founded Exhale Yoga, a Jivamukti Yoga affiliated studio.

During the years in SA, I set up Inhale Yoga, promoting karma yoga, selfless service, by introducing yoga in townships.

In 2020, I will become resident teacher at the Jivamukti school in Paris.
I will regularly visit the beautiful yoga community in my home country where I will be teaching at yogaloft. Luxembourg. I will also continue organizing yoga retreats in India, South Africa and Provence.

Cape Town will always remain my second home, it keeps me humble.
Yoga gives me the courage to BE MY SELF and the strength to make the world a better place.

There are no words to express my gratitude towards my two grown up children, who remain my most important teachers, all the committed yoga practitioners who crossed my way and Amelie and Tulsi for making yogaloft. Luxembourg flourish under their guidance.
