21 day Spring Inspiration

from 17 April - 7 May 20223

Online different times (see details)
Dear Yoga Friends…

I’d like to invite you to join me for an inspiring start to Spring! Fresh energy. New impulses. New beginnings.

"Gokötta" in Swedish means "to get up early in the morning in order to listen to the birds sing” - this is the theme I love for the Spring 21 day Inspiration.

There is something uniquely inspiring and hopeful about the Spring birds dawn chorus, about being up when the day is unfolding and listening to their songs setting the scene for the day.

Come and join me and the birds for this inspiring 21 day journey, welcoming each new day with renewed commitment to be the best version of You.

Yoga Practices for self-empowerment - returning back to your Aware Self through movement and stillness. I aim to offer a space where you can take responsibility for your unfolding life journey, and live fully with joy.

Yoga-Praktiken zur Stärkung des Selbst - Rückkehr zu Deinem bewussten Selbst durch Bewegung und Stille. Mein Ziel ist es, einen Raum zu kreieren, in dem Du lernst die Verantwortung für Deine sich entfaltende Lebensreise zu übernehmen, damit Du Dein Leben mit Freude geniessen kannst.

My logo

English
German

My logo arose out of an element from the Symbol of OM. The soft crescent shape denotes Maya or Illusion, which is the one main obstacle preventing us from liberation. In the logo, Maya softly creates a container for you to liberate yourself through your Self. The dot represents Divine connection, absolute bliss and peace. Simply put, be inspire(d) to live fully, aware of your divine connection through the experiences offered by Maya, releasing old past patterns.

Mein Logo entstand aus einem Element aus dem Symbol des "OM". Die weiche Sichelform steht für Maya oder Illusion, dem Haupthindernis, welches uns von der Selbstbefreiung abhält. Im Logo schafft Maya auf sanfte Weise einen Raum für das Selbst, was sich dadurch Selbst befreien kann. Der Punkt repräsentiert die göttliche Verbindung, absolute Glückseligkeit und Frieden. Einfach ausgedrückt: Lass dich inspirieren, im vollen Bewusstsein deiner göttlichen Verbindung zu leben, durch die Erfahrungen, die Maya anbietet, um alte Muster aus der Vergangenheit loszulassen.

Who am I ?

English
German

I was born, and grew up, in South Africa. It was there that I discovered yoga through an old book of my grandfathers in 1994, and this marked the beginning of my exploration into the limitless world of yoga and holistic well being. Through my profession as a teacher, I was motivated by my desire to support children with learning and behavioural problems, and to inquire more deeply into yoga and body work.

I left South Africa in 1996, and moved to the UK where I studied the Bowen technique, and continued practicing various styles of yoga, with different teachers. I discovered how the body work and yoga practice started to leave an imprint on all aspects of my life, deepening my love and respect for life, myself and others. This led me to teach yoga full-time.
I now teach yoga to adults and children primarily with the inspiration of Vinyasa free flow and Yin yoga.

Geboren und aufgewachsen bin ich in Südafrika. Dort begegnete mir 1994 das Yoga in einem alten Buch meines Großvaters. Dies war der Beginn meiner Erkundung der grenzenlosen Welt des Yoga und des ganzheitlichen Wohlbefindens.

Durch meinen Beruf als Lehrerin wurde ich durch den Wunsch motiviert, Kinder mit Lern- und Verhaltensproblemen zu unterstützen und mich tiefer mit Yoga und Körperarbeit auseinanderzusetzen.

1996 verließ ich Südafrika und zog nach Großbritannien, wo ich die Bowen-Technik studierte und darüber hinaus verschiedene Yogastile mit unterschiedlichen Lehrern praktizierte.

Ich entdeckte, wie die Körperarbeit und die Yogapraxis alle Aspekte meines Lebens zu prägen begannen und meine Liebe und meinen Respekt für das Leben, mich selbst und andere vertieften. Dies führte mich dazu, Yoga hauptberuflich zu unterrichten.

Ich unterrichte jetzt Yoga für Erwachsene und Kinder vor allem mit der Inspiration des Vinyasa, dem freien Fluss (Flow) und dem Yin Yoga.

My Yoga journey

English
German

In 2007 I qualified as a Vinyasa Yoga teacher at the Yogaloft in Cologne (registered Yoga Alliance member).
In 2010 I trained as a Yin Yoga teacher with Sarah Powers in London. Sarah is known and loved for her unique approach - Insight Yoga - which interweaves the insights and practices of Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and Transpersonal Psychology into an integral practice to discover and enliven the body, heart and mind.
In between I experienced many wonderful teachers.
In 2016 my journey with Critical Alignment Yoga with Gert Van Leeuwen started, and still continues.
In 2020 I qualified as a Yoga for Cancer teacher with: Vicky Fox (London) and Gaby Kammler (Cologne).

All these experiences have led me to create a "melting pot" of signature practices that I now share with others, depending on what they need.

2007 qualifizierte ich mich als Vinyasa-Yogalehrerin im Yogaloft in Köln (registriertes Yoga Alliance Mitglied).
2010 habe ich eine Ausbildung zur Yin Yoga Lehrerin bei Sarah Powers in London gemacht. Sarah ist bekannt für ihren einzigartigen Ansatz - Insight Yoga - der die Erkenntnisse und Praktiken von Yoga, Buddhismus, Taoismus und Transpersonaler Psychologie zu einer ganzheitlichen Praxis verwebt. Durch diesen Ansatz lassen sich Körper, Herz und Geist entdecken und beleben.
Dazwischen habe ich viele wunderbare Lehrer erlebt.
2016 begann meine Reise mit Critical Alignment Yoga bei Gert Van Leeuwen, die bis heute andauert.
Im Jahr 2020 qualifizierte ich mich als Yoga-für-Krebs-Lehrerin bei: Vicky Fox (London) und Gaby Kammler (Köln).

All diese Erfahrungen haben mich dazu gebracht, einen "Schmelztiegel" von Signatur-Praktiken zu schaffen, die je nach Bedarf anwende.

About Vinyasa and Yin Yoga

English
German

The meaning of Yoga is to unify - that is, to unify all of what we consist of into wholeness. In the practice of Vinyasa Yoga, we achieve this unity through the unfolding of a clearly outlined sequence of poses, linked by the breath.
The cycle of the vinyasa brings us into a more balanced state, through the use of our fluid body movements, the breath, sound and silence. There are no special requirements to join this flow - just be open and willing.
This flow feels, to me, like a creative unfolding of ones Self through the practice.
The fluidity of the vinyasa mirrors our daily lives – dealing with constant change, enriching and challenging surprises and humble beginnings.

The Yin Yoga practice uses soft, deep long-holding postures, that stretch connective tissue and joint sites, while muscles are relaxed. Connective tissue does not stretch like muscle, and will not respond well to brief stresses, hence the poses being held for longer periods of time. These long held poses, together with the breath as the anchor, enhance the meridian and organ systems of the body, helping to enrich and enliven the body, heart and mind. This practice is also a preparation for deepening ones mindfulness meditation practice, and thus becoming aware of our natural state of „beingness“.

Der Sinn von Yoga ist es, zu vereinen - das heißt, alles, woraus wir bestehen, zu einer Ganzheit zu vereinen. In der Praxis des Vinyasa Yoga erreichen wir diese Einheit durch die Entfaltung einer klar umrissenen Abfolge von Haltungen, die durch den Atem verbunden sind.
Der Zyklus des Vinyasa bringt uns in einen ausgeglicheneren Zustand, durch den Einsatz unserer fließenden Körperbewegungen, den Atem, Klang und Stille. Es gibt keine besonderen Voraussetzungen, um an diesem Flow teilzunehmen - sei einfach offen und bereit.
Dieser Flow fühlt sich für mich wie eine kreative Entfaltung des eigenen Selbst durch die Praxis an.
Die Fluss des Vinyasa spiegelt unser tägliches Leben wider - den Umgang mit ständiger Veränderung, bereichernden und herausfordernden Überraschungen und bescheidenen Anfängen.

Die Yin Yoga Praxis verwendet weiche, tiefe, lang gehaltene Haltungen, die das Bindegewebe und die Gelenke dehnen, während die Muskeln entspannt sind. Bindegewebe lässt sich nicht wie Muskeln dehnen und reagiert nicht gut auf kurze Belastungen, daher werden die Haltungen über längere Zeiträume gehalten. Diese langen gehaltenen Posen, zusammen mit dem Atem als Anker, unterstützen die Meridian- und Organsysteme des Körpers und helfen das Herz zu beleben und und den Geist zu bereichern. Diese Praxis ist auch eine Vorbereitung für die Vertiefung der eigenen Achtsamkeitsmeditationspraxis und damit für die Bewusstwerdung unseres natürlichen "Seins".

What others say...

“

During the 6 months I learned how to filter from the various options offered what is suitable for me: if something is helpful for others it doesn‘t have to be helpful for me, so that was an interesting experience to really see/ feel what I need. In the beginning I was a bit „ overwhelmed“ by the material ( in a positive way, everything so interesting ) and I learned how to take things out of it suitable for me and my daily life. For me it is the combination of lying on the black strip, yin poses, a bit of meditation and breath. Of course I heard before of the meaning of pranayama but I did not practice it at home. What is interesting also is that as I am writing this I am thinking: „ this might change again“- so if I feel the need to change my routine I can take a look at your/our material and adapt it ( is not „in Stein gemeißelt“ as you say in german).

For me the live streaming practice is a great way to do yoga at the moment. I like that the live streaming format means that I have to commit to practicing at a certain time. Despite it being virtual I do get a sense of community from it, too. I do miss not being corrected in case I'm doing something completely wrong, but so far I've felt quite secure in the exercises and I have not felt any pain afterwards, so I take this as a good sign :-) Having said this, I do feel that I'm getting used to practicing and that I'm in better shape and more flexible 3 months ago.

Mir gefällt an deiner Plattform, dass sie mich flexibel darin unterstützt, Yoga (mit dir) zu machen. Abhängig davon wie lange ich Zeit habe oder was ich brauche, finde ich ganz verschiedene Angebote. Es ist so wie du sagst: it works for me.

Thank you again for your help, I am so happy that I managed to see you and the tips you gave me are simply amazing. Of course I totally love lying on that strip, I could stay there forever and the shoulder opening just feels soooo good!

I like the online platform since it gives me the chance to practice in between live lessons when I have some spare time.

Im Corona Lockdown begann dieses Jahr die 21 -day challenge von Fiona. Der Aufbau und die Abfolge dieser herausfordernden Asanas ist meiner Meinung nach perfekt. Vom ersten Tag an gibt es einen bestimmten Ablauf, der grundsätzlich gleich ist, jedoch immer wieder um verschiedene Varianten ergänzt wird. Jeder kann, angeleitet von Fiona, die Asanas nach den individuellen Möglichkeiten ausführen. Ob das am Ende der „headstand“ oder „dolphin pose“ ist… Das Endergebnis, d.h. der 21. Tag zeigt eine sehr fordernde sehr dynamische Abfolge von Surya Namaskar und Asanas, die den ganzen Körper, aber speziell die Bauchmuskulatur, bzw. die Körpermitte stärkt. Aus diesem Grund hat mir diese challenge besonders gut gefallen: Sie ist kurz, schnell und „knackig“. Durch die Pranayama Übung zu Beginn, Nadi Sodhana, werde ich eingestimmt, ruhig, aber dennoch energetisiert. Das liegt meiner Ansicht nach an der Abfolge, am „fast pumping breath“, den Fiona in die Wechselatmung eingebaut hat, und die ich in der Kombination vorher noch nicht kannte. Ich bin davon sehr begeistert und führe sie auch separat, nur als energetische Atemübung durch. Seit über zwei Monaten ist die challenge meine Lieblingspraxis, die ich meistens dann mache, wenn ich nicht online life von Fiona angeleitet werde. Vielen Dank dafür, Fiona!

Inspired Life Training War eine großartige Möglichkeit während des lockdowns in Bewegung zu bleiben, Yoga zu machen und hat viel zum “good mood" beigetragen. Die InSpired 21 Day Challenge war ein wichtiges und tolles Element um so intensiv in die tägliche Yogapraxis zu finden. Es fiel mir erstaunlich leicht, auch darüber hinaus, also alleine, dran zu bleiben. Vielleicht ist das (auch ohne Lockdown) gut, dass die 21day shared praxis relativ am Anfang des Trainings liegt. Alle praktischen, konkreten Yogaübungen fielen mir leichter. Sehr hilfreich fand ich zu schauen, welche Übungen mag ich, was fällt mir schwer? Vielen Dank, dass Du Dein Wissen und Deine Erfahrung mit uns teilst. Deine online-Plattform ist sehr, sehr hilfreich. Es ist gut, dass ich so Deine online-Sequenzen reflektieren kann. Ich will sie gerne weiter nutzen.

Seva project

In Yoga, SEVA (Say-va) is a Sanskrit word for service - how can we serve others and give back to society. Through my yoga practice and teaching, I aim to give back to my childhood community in a small and meaningful way. Since I grew up in South Africa, this is where my heart lies in an attempt to empower young children in the Lidgetton community where it is often challenging to have hope and see the light. Our small Angel Ruth’s Soup Kitchen is a space where the children can go for a warm meal, as well as to a space where they know they are safe and cared for, can play freely and learn.

I offer a percentage of my teaching earnings back into this community, knowing that is is well used and goes directly to the source. To support the growing needs in the Lidgetton community, we set-up Lucky Beans e.V. in Germany in 2015. Through our charity status we are able to offer the possibility of EU citizens receiving a tax reclamation from any donation you may wish to make.
