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.

I won't stop recommending you to whomever is interested in yoga.
