I'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

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 practice.

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
September 2, 2019Christina EI 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!!

He is simply one of the best yoga teachers out there and explores yoga as a mindfulness and breath-centered practice, which really speaks to me.
