Sometimes I feel it is a bit difficult to talk about myself as I have done many different things and have experienced great changes in my life from a very young age.

When I was just 3 years old, I changed continents. We left Europe and went to America. I come from a family of artists, my mother and father are potters and they were passionate about travelling. We went to Guatemala, Canada and to various states in theUS such as Arizona, where we put down roots and went to school.

They kicked us out of Arizona, because we did not have the updated VISA.We were not happy in Germany and we went to Andalusia where we had friends. We liked it a lot and even bought a farmhouse.

I still remember when we came to the Sierra and my father spoke to me for the first time, about the chakras and the importance of seeking their balance. He made me very excited and amazed to know that there was a “root chakra” that connected us with the earth and that all living beings have these energy centers and we can develop and connect with them.

I was always a nomadic spirit moving here and there, because again, as a teenager, I returned to Germany to start my university studies in Dramatic Art. I realized there how much I was losing connectionwith nature and the Sierra.

Since then, my life has taken many turns and I am very grateful for all of it. For years, I worked as an actress in film and theatre. I have also produced and shot several films, enjoying my profession and the artistic and creative world a lot.

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa Yoga is meditation in motion. It is transition in union with the breath from one Asana to another Asana. The movements are synchronized with the breath.

Flowing sequences are created that from the outside can look like a dance. It is a very dynamic, very fluid and very creative style of yoga.

The possibilities of sequences are endless and you can always create new sequences, which are called Vinyasa Flows.

It is a modern style of Yoga born from the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga.

In the Sierra de las Villas we are going to enjoy a Vinyasa Flow in pure air with the sensations of nature in summer.

Only through the mirror of Yoga can man reflect and recognize himself in all its fullness.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a calm and passive style of yoga that is mostly practiced sitting or lying down.

The Asanas are heldfor three to seven minutes. In between each posture one relaxes in harmony.

Yin Yoga is for the purpose of opening the fasciae and stretching the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This increases the freedom of movement in the parts of the body that relate to them.

It also brings a very high degree of relaxation.

Only through the mirror of Yoga can man reflect and recognize himself in all its fullness.

Meditación

Meditation is a state of being.
Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras talks about the eight branches of yoga and the Yamas and Niyamas and says that the last three branches have to be experienced. The incessant activity of the mind takes us away from our true selves. When we are not attached to our own thoughts we are in our true being and we realize that our thoughts are only like clouds that pass in the infinite sky as if we were the sky. When we meditate we begin to communicate with the universal or cosmic consciousness.

Through techniques and exercises we are going to let ourselves fall into our true selves and begin to enjoy the tranquility behind our thoughts.

Only through the mirror of Yoga can man reflect and recognize himself in all its fullness.
