Still in that year, he did an internship in a local surf camp and in 2017 decided to open his own surf camp.

For me, Yoga is above all a balance to the fast-paced time, which allows you to regain strength and serenity at the same time. I take the time for a regular practice, which strengthens the body and mind. My Vinyasa classes are characterized mainly by dynamic and powerful flows, because sinking into the movement process is particularly important to me. As a counterbalance to that, I also enjoy letting go in relaxed Yin Yoga classes. Through my Anusara-inspired training with Maja Zilih, I also attach great importance to proper alignment to protect and promote the health of my students.

My classes are ashtanga vinyasa based, dynamic but slow at the same time because “slow is the new strong”.
