Harness the Power of Moving from the Breath
What makes yoga such a powerfully positive practice for both body and mind? The focus on the breath, which has the power to transform mind and body, and to strengthen the connections between both. One of the simplest ways to do this is to begin moving from the breath. The breath is the most direct link between the body, the [...]

What 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

December 20, 2019I 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

July 22, 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!!

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 recommend.

I have been... read more practising with him for 5 years and find that he continues to show us new aspects for improving our practise. Never boring! So happy that he is giving online classes during the coronavirus
