Theme for my Classes this Week
My classes follow a different theme every week. The theme for the coming week is published each Sunday in the blog. You can also sign up at the bottom of this page to receive this information in your email each Sunday.
Here is the theme for this week:
What Makes an Asana an Asana?
When is a body shape merely a body shape, and what transforms it into an asana? From my point of view, it is the suffusion of a shape with the qualities of a free-flowing breath that transforms a shape into an asana. It is the prioritization of a spacious breath that transforms a body movement into the practice of yoga. [...]

Join today for excellent tuition and guidance in your yoga practise. I have practised with Gernot in Chiang Mai and also on retreat and he always gives you thoughts... read more and insights to think about in your practise. The practice itself is a progress through our physiology and his knowledge of anatomy is huge. Exceptional - you will be delighted.
April 7, 2020Jenthehen21Gernot is an exceptional yoga teacher. He has a very thorough knowledge of anatomy and uses this to help his students practise safely and enjoyably. 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 lockdown.

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

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 practice.

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
