Here is the theme for this week:
A Lesson from a 2-Year-Old
Do you like speed bumps? (Or speed humps, judder bars, lomos de burro, or sleeping policemen, depending on where you are from.) I didn't think you did. Who does? I used to dislike them like everyone, but then I received a lesson from a 2-year-old: a lesson in acceptance. Not that my son is (or was) a buddha-like creature in [...]

I went on a 5 day retreat in Chiang Dao. The setting was beautiful and very peaceful. Gernot is an extremely thorough and thoughtful teacher. He tailored the retreat around... read more the participants' individual needs and came up with very useful suggestions for specific issues when requested. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology was fantastic. The course was really well balanced and fun too. Very highly re

December 18, 2019What a truly inspiring, practical and friendly teacher. I was a novice to yoga practice but for years held an interest in yoga but no real understanding. I was lucky... read more enough to have a number of private classes with Gernot which have made a huge difference to my life both spiritually and physically with the added bonus of reduction is back and neck pain. Gernot has a wonderful & easy way of explaining every pose and flow and possesses vast technical and physiological knowledge which he helps you understand and therefore improve your practice. It was a wonderful start to my yoga journey. T

I attended a 5-day yoga retreat led by Gernot in Chiang Dao. Gernot is a superb yoga teacher. He sent us a short simple questionnaire before the retreat and tailored... read more the yoga to our specific needs. Gernot is not the teacher to go to if you want better photos for your yoga Instagram feed or to achieve some impossible pose. He leads yoga that won’t injure you, that will help you improve alignment and posture, and will generally improve your wellbeing. His teaching is based an an incredible knowledge of physiology which he communicates really engagingly. He has spoilt me for other yoga teachers, who so often ask you to strive for poses that are not good for you. I will be using his extensive notes now (sent to us after the retreat) to help structure my personal p

I signed up for private sessions with Gernot because I have some hip and low back issues that my personal yoga practice often aggravate. It's not a stretch to say... read more I learned more from three thorough sessions with him than I did in my yoga teacher training. And by "more", I mean all those subtle little biomechanical adjustments that make a massive difference.
Gernot has an incredible knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and it's so well integrated into his yoga knowledge. Step by step, we went through all of my "troubling" asanas and transitions that produce pain and tension, and even those sneaky ones that feel fine but aren't doing my body any favours. There are certain things (bad movement habits) I simply couldn't have known without his insight and expertise. And I can apply them to my practice with instant results.
My practice (and body) are forever improved thanks to his knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Gernot's classes (I go to those too) as well as his one-on-one teaching. Amazing experience - thankColleen T
March 11, 2021I've looked forward to taking classes from Gernot over the past two years whenever I'm in Chiang Mai. His knowledge of anatomy and biological reasons behind certain yoga positions... read more and practices is very appealing to anyone who has a science background. There is a spiritual side to be sure, but I have never know any other yoga teacher with this unique perspective. I was very pleased to learn Gernot is offering online yoga classes during the pandemic, and I would urge any yogi to try his classes. Thank you Gernot for putting your clas
