Yoga and endometriosis - creating space for a body plagued by pain

Depression is not a lack of motivation - but a regulatory disorder

Depression is not simply "sadness", "laziness" or "a merry-go-round of thoughts". It is a profound change in mood, drive, body perception and inner experience. It is often accompanied by sleep disorders, exhaustion, concentration problems, pain or inner emptiness.

The body is there - but it often feels strange, heavy, dull.
The head is awake - but trapped in itself.
The breath flows - but it is not felt.

Meditation can be an effective tool here - if it is used correctly.

Yoga during pregnancy - moving security for the body & nervous system

Pregnancy is a time of change - physical, emotional, hormonal, identity-forming. For many women, it marks the beginning of a new form of self-perception: more intense, more fragile, more mindful.

Yoga can be a stabilizing anchor during this time. Not because it is spectacular - but because it creates space. For breath. For movement. For relationship - with the growing body, with the unborn child, with your own inner self.

Yoga for non-specific back pain - move, feel, regulate

Back pain is the number one widespread disease - and in over 85% of cases it is non-specific. This means that there is no clear structural cause, but there is certainly pain, tension, restricted movement and often anxiety.

Many of these patients have already been through an odyssey of MRIs, injections, painkillers and rest. What is missing is not another measure - but a new experience with their own body.
