Anja

Anja is director of Jivamukti Yoga Berlin and Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher.

She discovered her passion for Jivamukti Yoga in 2000 while living in New York during a court internship. Back then, she also met her teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life for the first time. Anja has been practicing yoga with teachers of various yoga styles and traveled the world to do so. But in her heart, Anja knew right after her first Jivamukti class, where she belongs.

Living as a Yogi means for Anja to try to balance up the disequilibrium between herself as part of human civilization and the world as a whole. In her classes, Anja strives to bring emphasis to the yogic tenet that none of our doings, whether they remain thoughts or are actually carried out, are without impact to our surroundings. In which direction the world turns, is in the hands of each single one of us.

The love to her life, to all beings and to this world as a whole motivate Anja to teach yoga. The path of yoga gives every single one of us the chance to grapple with our inner self and to find the harmony within us that we are longing for.

Anja thanks her teachers Sharon Gannon, David Life and Patrick Broome, and all her other teachers she meets every day.
