Maike

I’m Maike. My path to yoga began during my studies in communication science, where I discovered a completely new form of communication — the one with myself!

Driven by my enthusiasm for yoga, I completed a 200-hour teacher training in 2006 at Lord Vishnus Couch in Cologne, with a focus on Vinyasa Yoga.

Everything began to flow: I went on to complete a four-year BDY/EYU yoga teacher training in the tradition of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, with a special emphasis on the connection between body, breath, and mind.

Later, I moved to Switzerland and, in 2018, trained as a Yin Yoga teacher with René Hug in Zurich.

From the very beginning, yoga felt like coming home to myself. It is the key to a conscious and joyful life. The experience of drawing calm, strength, and energy from my own center — and trusting that everything we need is already within us — is something I hope to share in my classes. I especially love teaching beginners and cherish everyone who has the courage to open the door to yoga — and perhaps leaves class with a smile.

I teach in German and English.
