Both fascinatetd me, which led me to my first yoga lesson in 1991. I was immediately inspired by my charismatic yoga teacher and her yoga practice.<\/p>\n<p>In the following years, yoga became my constant companion during my travels \u2013 everywhere in the world I could practice my then rather simple exercise sequences and found a nice and important balance to my exciting, but often also hectic daily work routine.<\/p>\n<p>After family-related interruptions, I started attending a yoga class regularly again in 2015. In 2018, my desire to fundamentally deepen my knowledge of yoga and learn as much as I could about it to be able to teach myself intensified. I started my four-year education at Lotos Yoga in Basel, which I completed at the end of 2022. Since 2019 I have been teaching a small group in Oberwil.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga has become an integral and important part of my life that I would not want to miss. For me, yoga means a long and inspiring journey, through which I am allowed to discover new horizons again and again \u2013 albeit in a different way than by flying.<\/p>\n<p>Since I teach English as an adult educator and feel very comfortable in the language, I teach one lesson per week in English (upon request).<\/p>\n<p>I am married and the mother of a son. We live with a dog and two cats in Therwil. In addition to yoga, my interests are in skiing, scuba diving, golf, psychology and spirituality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad44081 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ad44081\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;lqd-custom-shape-12&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;lqd-custom-shape-12&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"lqd-custom-shape\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\"  viewBox=\"0 0 1440 150\">\n    <path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M 0 26.1978 C 275.76 83.8152 430.707 65.0509 716.279 25.6386 C 930.422 -3.86123 1210.32 -3.98357 1439 9.18045 C 2072.34 45.9691 2201.93 62.4429 2560 26.198 V 172.199 L 0 172.199 V 26.1978 Z\">\n        <animate repeatCount=\"indefinite\" fill=\"freeze\" attributeName=\"d\" dur=\"10s\" values=\"M0 25.9086C277 84.5821 433 65.736 720 25.9086C934.818 -3.9019 1214.06 -5.23669 1442 8.06597C2079 45.2421 2208 63.5007 2560 25.9088V171.91L0 171.91V25.9086Z;
