Kaja yoga retreats and massages

Kaja

I took my first yoga class ever back in 2007 in Duesseldorf/Germany. My body and my mind both enjoyed the movements and the breathing. 

Towards the end of the class I felt more grounded and calm. And so I practiced with this teacher for 2 more years until I decided, that I wanted to dive deeper and applied for a 4-year teacher training (800 hrs) with the "Yogaforum Duesseldorf".

I recently completed another yoga teacher training, the Therapeutic Yoga: Yoga Doc meets Shvetashvatara Upanishad with Dr. Ronald Steiner at the German AYI institute in Ulm.

Yoga personally helped me deal with panic attacks and a diagnosed anxiety disorder, which I had been struggling with since my late teens.

I am passionate, creative with a deep love for variety, balance and self-expression. Through my work I support people in finding harmony within themselves and helping them to feel more at home in their body.

I find inspiration, peace and joy in nature while surfing or while exploring Portugal´s beautiful surroundings with my dog on walks and hikes.

My approach to life is open-minded and holistic, combining creativity with a deep connection to body and soul. Whether I am designing for my own clothing line, teaching or healing, my goal is always the same: to inspire, support and bring more beauty and balance into the lives of others.

If this speaks to you, let’s work together - either through personalised 1:1 yoga classes or my massage treatments.

A few words on Laghavam

….. and why I chose it.

Laghavam in Sanskrit means “lightness”. Something that I find essential in life. But why and what does it actually mean for me?

Lightness for me describes a state of mind rather than a quality in terms of weight. It is something which I find very useful, when it comes to practicing yoga and meditation but also in every day life. As for me it means being gentle with myself, allowing a kind view on all my actions - taking it light instead of taking it heavy.

It also means being cheerful and going through life and my yoga practice with a sense of humor, not taking everything so seriously. For me lightness transmits something uplifting, something illuminating.
