Ami Norton

Hi, I'm Ami. I help you create a conscious connection with yourself - which is ultimately the most important relationship we have. Do you want to feel more comfortable in your body, increase your self-awareness, find more balance in your daily life, have more harmonious relationships (with yourself and others), reduce stress, and cultivate ease? I want to show you how yoga practice can open these doors for you and much more.

I teach creative but anatomically sound yoga classes that combine music, movement and meditation to give you a space and the tools to experience your body and mind in a new way. I help you feel healthy in your body - appreciating its strengths and accepting its weaknesses. I love what I do because I get to take you on a journey to yourself, with a practice that extends far beyond the yoga mat.

Ranja Weis

After a serious illness at the age of 25, I realized that the path I had taken was not really mine. I studied German and history to become a teacher. In retrospect, I don't know where I got the courage back then to leave everything behind to seek a holistic way of healing with traditional medicinal plants in South America.

I guess I felt somewhere deep inside that this was exactly what was needed for the special life I had always dreamed of. Although I had a hard time there and faced a lot of things inside myself that seemed almost impossible to overcome and heal, today I see this event as one of the greatest gifts. Especially because it also brought me to yoga.

So I took my first yoga class in a yoga studio in Rio de Janeiro. From the first moment I was excited about this possibility to experience my body and my inner self even more consciously and intensely. Health on all levels had become my guiding principle.

The deeper I dived into yoga, the more fascinating and enriching I found the great treasure of knowledge and techniques. This enthusiasm and curiosity led to my first trip to India, to yoga teacher training, and finally turned my hobby into a profession. Since then I am happy to be able to share my experience and knowledge in this way with interested people. And to be able to contribute to health, consciousness and healing, which I find deeply enriching and fulfilling.

Anna Rampf

Anna Rampf is a Strala Yoga and Meditation Guide. She lives and loves inspiring people to be more mindful, aware and to embrace the high good of personal health.

Anna's journey onto the yoga mat began over 12 years ago. Looking for a new hobby and a balance to her daily work routine, she quickly realized that yoga was just the thing. On her travels around the world, her curiosity to try out new yoga styles grew - that's how Anna encountered the movement form 'Strala Yoga' in New York a few years ago.

Through the way created by Tara Stiles to bring body, mind and spirit in harmony, she learned to invite more freedom, feeling and informality into the yoga practice. Strala lives a fusion of yoga, tai chi and Far Eastern healing traditions, and based on these basic philosophies, helps people reduce stress, get rid of bad habits and face challenges with ease.

After various Strala Yoga trainings, Anna opened YOGALIEBE in 2017, the first Strala Yoga studio in Germany, to be able to accompany many more people on their way to more ease, joy of movement and health.

Anna loves her own practice on the mat and is guided through life by various approaches and signposts from Buddhist psychology.
Renowned spiritual guides, regular Strala Yoga trainings, as well as further education in health care enrich her practice and what she wants to pass on to others.

Daniela Dihsmaier

Daniela is the right person for you if you want to think outside the box. If you are ready to get involved in new perspectives. Surely you have read countless mental tips on conflicts, mental strength, resilience, happiness, serenity, behavior patterns, communication, etc., but they often don't work. Because reading is not understanding. And understanding is not the same as implementing.

Together with Daniela you can approach the topics in her workshops - through experiments and the exchange with the other participants of the workshop. Daniela emphasizes a mixture of profound knowledge and individual experimentation.

Learning can happen in two ways: through optimization or through experience and experimentation. In Daniela's approach, you will not find personal development that only aims at self-optimization, because pure learning by optimizing puts you under pressure and is not much fun. Also, the desire for self-optimization can be based on unpleasant feelings that want to be avoided. This can lead to inner imbalances, often negative stress and a lack of resilience in dealing with our world. These people then need even more validation on the outside, even more goods, even more of things through which they can define and orient themselves on the outside. To break through this imbalance, courage is needed. The courage to experiment with one's own mindset, the courage to take a closer look at oneself. And in doing so, respect for each other: "my solution is not your solution".

Head or heart person? Daniela is both. As a coach, she supports performance-oriented people in politics, administration, business, law and sports.

Daniela is also an amateur triathlete and has had quite a bit of success. However, she much prefers to tell about the days that made her learn in this field as well. She wrote the book "Brutal Mental: Mental strength is more than just winning thinking", which was published by Pflaum Verlag. And she hosts the podcast "Brutal Mental - the podcast for mental strength".

Marion Schwarzat

Founder +Owner Urban Yoga Hamburg
Yoga teacher & trainer (E-RYT 500), psychological (Gestalt) counselor, hypnosis coach, regression guide, mediator and meditation teacher.

Marion`s great passion, more than work, is yoga and meditation and she knows her great privilege and happiness to be able to do something that fulfills her completely. Her innermost desire is to support people in finding their own center (again), to recognize their own strengths, but also to accept weaknesses, to come & be in peace with themselves and the world. Yoga makes you happy in all its many aspects, because it makes you more flexible (physically and mentally) and at the same time it manages to calm our eternally restless, planning, demanding and judging "monkeymind".

Marion experiences in yoga just the pure joy of being as a great quality and wants to not only live this, but make it tangible in her classes!
For over 15 years she has been immersing herself more and more in the diversity of yoga, practicing and learning the most diverse styles of yoga and delving more and more into mindfulness-based meditation. Besides various yoga teacher trainings, countless advanced trainings have led her deeper and deeper into the inexhaustible vastness of the yoga world and wonderful teachers have accompanied and influenced her, especially her mentor and friend Mark Stephens. One thing all teachers and especially yoga have taught her: to trust the greatest teacher, the teacher within!

Nicki Vellick

Nicki lives with her family in Graz and is the owner of the beautiful Yogalife Studio. Since she did her training with Young-Ho Kim in 2007, she is closely connected to Inside Yoga and this teaching style. She is E-RYT 500, Inside Flow Senior Teacher as well as Prenatal Yoga Teacher and Mental Trainer for pregnant women and leads different trainings for yoga teachers and those who want to become one in Austria and Germany.

Her classes are varied with a lot of music, sometimes singing (she likes to unpack the ukulele) and a fine mixture of tradition and modernity.
For Nicki it has always been important that yoga goes beyond the mat, that yoga is not only seen as an asana, but as a mindful attitude towards oneself and all beings in the world. The themes Nicki weaves into her classes reflect this attitude and invite you to go deeper in your yoga practice for a transformative experience of your own life.

Dwayne Harris

Experiencing life multisensually was already firmly implemented in my childhood through family-anchored spirituality. As a massage therapist and competitive athlete / trainer (focus on Thai boxing and calisthenics), I now create in today's world the union of body and mind. Whether as a tour masseur for "The Voice Of Germany", at championships in martial arts, retreats or in 5-star hotels to be tasked with massaging royal families....

- It is my passion to bring people in harmony with themselves and the environment.

In addition, I enjoy assisting people in learning the art of massage.

- Touching is easy..touching is the art!

The love of people and life is the breeding ground of my vocation.

With a massage with Dwayne you get the following: A 60 minute massage with Dwayne. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your massage in the hotel lobby of Hotel Blü. Dwayne will pick you up and take you to the massage room. There you can change at your leisure and get ready for the massage.

Katrin Frank

Laughter, lightness, relaxation and joy of being is at the top of my list in life and in my yoga classes. I love to accompany people in their movement, to get to know them, to be inspired by them, to learn from them and to share my experiences with them. For this I dive deep into my inner self and consciously perceive the connection between body, mind and soul. The outside is forgotten for this precious moment.
I teach different yoga styles, lead yoga workshops and yoga trips in Austria and Croatia. In order to teach healthy and quality yoga, a precise alignment of the asanas (postures), a respect for the body and one's own (current) limits and regular trainings as a personal "update" are very important to me. In 2012 I founded Fit and Free - Life is Movement, a place of movement, meeting and joy! Namasté!

Alessio Gerbig

Alessio is a successful entrepreneur and digital expert from Frankfurt. Already in his early youth, he developed his own digital business models and measured himself against various digital problems. Out of these first attempts (and of course many failures...) a passion for finding digital solutions and making people digitally successful has emerged. Thus, Alessio already founded a web and marketing agency during his studies and to this day he has served, advised and made successful more than 50 clients.

To take the next step and seek more challenges, Alessio took over the operational business of TINT Yoga together with his business partner in 2018, helping yogis and yoginis reach their next level every day.

Both through his consulting with companies from a wide range of sectors within his agency, and through his time at TINT, Alessio has been able to gain exclusive knowledge and experience that he enjoys sharing through workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions. Webinars, social media, digital advertising, websites - it doesn't matter: he can help you personally and business blockades, shares his tips & tricks and can be your coach in strategic questions.

And because life is not only about work, Alessio has brought another passion right along with him: he accompanies the sunset every evening with relaxed house beats as a DJ.
