Me
Hi, I’m Lou - yoga facilitator and sound practicioner. Una gran gioia per me to share with you the deep love I hold for Yoga, Sound, Meditation and sacred ceremonies.
I CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS a sacred depth WHERE THE KNOWN DISSOLVES.
At the age of 16, I found myself under the roof of a library on my yoga mat. After finishing high school, I spent an extended period of time in Bali where I taught English to locals and practiced Yoga in the Indonesian language. I realized that yoga encompasses so much more. 'I am here, I am whole'., I wrote in my diary about my first post-yoga feeling. It was in Bali, too, and later at a healing place on Lake Chiemsee that I discovered the magic of Sound and Bhakti. All these practices had healing benefits for my body and mind, touching my soul, and I've remained passionate about it ever since. So I delved deeply into the study of these ancient practices. They serve as the anchor that holds my life together within, making me feel that we are all connected.and that life is precious.
From its beginnings in yoga, has blossomed into a rich tapestry of offerings focused on bringing more calm into daily life. Currently, I lead various regular classes, including Yin Yoga (big love) and Vinyasa, at my favorite yoga studios, ahoiYoga and monkey mind yoga in Hamburg. Additionally, I host Sound Baths and meditation sessions. I also organize special workshops and offer personalized yoga mentoring.
Through my work, I aim to be a CALMING PRESENCE, guiding you to listen more closely to your INNER VOICE and find SERENITY within. I'm personally drawn to YIN YOGA, YOGA NIDRA and SOUND – they gently SLOW DOWN the pace, bringing CLARITY and PURITY to our experiences. I also hold dynamic Yoga styles in high regard. It assists us in igniting and RADIATING our inner fire. Teaching, for me, is all about holding and giving SPACE where one can PAUSE and RE-CONNECT, rather than rush through. I offer gentle direction on where to look, but never on what to see. That allows to explore, in your own pace, your UNIQUE body, breath, and mind. I believe every person is special, So I work closely with them to make sure a session aligns perfectly with their needs. Be it in a 1:1, an open class or event, I'm dedicated to create a warm, personal and positive atmosphere that are designed to encourage RELAXATION, RENEWAL, and HEALING.
