It is the final encounter with Chandra Swami, an ascetic from the Brahmanic lineage of the Udasins, which will give a full sense to all the teachings studied before.

Bettina Lietz
I teach yoga as a "Science of Joy and Health" for everyone. Old and young, rich and poor, thick and thin come together in yoga to create a happy, harmonious cooperative in all its colorful diversity. In my small school in Charlottenburg, handicapped persons and senior citizens sit on mats next to young, agile pupils. Since the degree of difficulty of every asana can be varied, everyone gets their money's worth. In my classes, everyone, from children to the elderly, can participate since yoga has much good to offer to all.

Nives Kostovic
Yoga Nidra already finds mention in old tantric texts and it was rediscovered 20-odd years ago by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, founder of the Bihar School of Yoga.
He translates Yoga Nidra as psychic sleep and describes it as a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation, while maintaining awareness at the deeper levels. Indeed, the practice is so relaxing that it becomes almost impossible to remain awake. But you come out feeling more rested than you do after a good night's sleep, and injected with large doses of gumption to tackle the day's tasks. Swami Satyananda says that prolonged suspension between wakefulness and sleep called the hypnogogic state in Yoga Nidra may have untold benefits that go beyond the therapeutic.

Sabine Grohn
With more than 25 years of experience in the areas of exercise and nutrition, she tutored fitness seminars in Berlin and Munich. She deepened her holistic knowledge as yet in both, personal training and development courses at Art Reade and Simone Sommer, a representative of the psychological school of thought known as "Human Movement" which left profound marks in her heart.
Her first contact with yoga in 2003 triggered an intensive relation to her body.
Meeting the Kunst des Lebens e.V. in seminars, especially meeting Sri Sri Shankar and Urmila Devi, opened doors for her which until then had remained closed. The decision and the career to be able to serve others as a yoga teacher was the next step in her life, from then on including yoga.
From 2004 until 2006 she was trained by Udo Terasa according to the oldest Indian yoga guidelines by Dr. Swami Gitananda. While still being trained she started a second training with Ananda Leone (BDY/EYU), this time lasting 4 years (2005-2009) at the Akademie für Yoga Berlin. Today she knows that this is merely the beginning of her long journey ... her journey of life ... a journey enriched by the benefits of yoga which she intends to share with many people. She is very grateful to be able to follow this path.
