Susanne
Founder and Director of JIVA/ANAND Yoga & JIVA/ANAND Yoga Teacher Training
After many years of doing my own yoga practice while teaching physical education I started teaching yoga some 30 years ago. I founded the JIVA/ANAND YOGA School & Teacher Trainee Programm and educated a wonderful group of Yogis even before settling down in the heart of Munich.
For almost 10 years I was operating my own Yoga Studio in Munich/Maxvorstadt – a sunny loft space of 200qm where I and my team were sharing our passion and teaching yoga.
The spirit of the JIVA/ANANDYOGA Shala ?
“In our Shala my vision is to provide a shelter that helps students to wind down, to step outside their usual routine, to explore, challenge, relax, to experience the space beyond the sukha (pleasurable) and dukha (unpleasant) aspects of life. I want «every body» to experience the space within where everything is peace and joy, this sheltered space where regeneration takes place, where everything is possible – that space where you feel free and you experience your true nature.”
What I wish for my students?
“Find your true desires, learn to discriminate what it is that society wants from you and what it is that you want and need. Then walk your path with continuity – you will feel your heart prana moving. You can steer your own life, find your yoga, believe in your «self».”
Who and how I teach and educate?
I am now education and teaching those Yogis who have a deep desire to learn and grow. I established an Online Teacher Training Programm with mostly Live Zoom Trainings and where needed one-on-one sessions, to properly train my Yogis but still allow for flexibility with regards to time and space. With our Online Teacher Training everybody will be able to live their passion and integrate their yoga education even in a busy life.
Together with my partner I established an extensive On-Demand Yoga Mediathek that delivers the inspiration and guidance for the practical part of your education. The yogic tool I most strongly believe in is your self-practice. Yet self-practice does not mean you have to do or even should be doing your Yoga always on your own, let alone without guidance or inspiration. Our On-Demand Yoga will inspire your self-practice, it will support you self-practice and give you guidance as to how to teach and educate your students.
It is my true desire to help you find the peace, happiness and freedom that yoga taught me to feel on a more permanent basis. If you are up for it – let us get to know each other and maybe we will walk together for a long time.
