Stepping into Courage with Inversions Part 2: Headstand
This week we will continue with inversions, focusing on headstand. The great advantage of headstand over other inversions is that it requires less muscular effort and less precise balance. Thus it can be practiced for significantly longer time periods. This in turn increases the benefits you derive from going upside down. Headstand is also generally easier to do without a [...]

I have taken classes with Gernot 1on1, in studio, and on his online platform since he started it during covid.
I want to thank Gernot from all my heart... read more for your teachings and continuous support. You built my practice from the ground, you will remain at it's core, and you gave me the fondation that allowed me to approach yoga (and life) with more ease, joy, and awareness. You changed my life for the better in big ways and I will remain forever grateful for that.
I won't stop recommending you to whomever is interested in yoga.
In gratitude,
Matthew

I learnt yoga is more than the asana. Yoga is how you are sitting, how you are walking, how much tension do you have in your muscles. Yoga is accept your body how it is and find your way to enjoy in the practice.
Gernot gave me a sentence which I bring with me in the life: "The answers are not important, the importance are in the great quLourdesmope

I was so excited to attend Gernot's workshop - Learning the Art of Undoing: Unlock True Wellbeing by Letting Go of Neck Tension at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock,... read more NJ! I wanted to learn ways to help relieve tension not only for myself, but for my students. There are 2 herniated discs in my neck and I am always looking for ways to ease neck tension. This was a fantastic workshop!
Gernot explained things clearly and shared new ways to move into poses to keep the neck healthy. It was a great combination of anatomy explanation, visual cues, verbal cues, and being on the mat to experience the material. It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere. There were a number of "Ah ha!" moments and I left feeling happy and eager to start practicing and teaching what Gernot had shared. I have had a number of students who have been so grateful with the new information!
Truly grateful!!
