Yoga teacher

Alexandra Schall is a certified yoga teacher (BYV / EFYTA) who completed her two-year training in January 2015 at Yoga Vidya in Frankfurt.

 Alexandra started her own yoga practice 13 years ago, although her original interest in yoga was only a nice change from other sporting activities. 

Alexandra realized the uniqueness of yoga very quickly: Yoga covers both physical and mental training in a holistic way. After completing her training, Alexandra attended many advanced training courses and international workshops in Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Iyenger Yoga.

Alexandra teaches her lessons according to the principle "strength meets lightness". In her yoga classes you can actually experience the interplay of opposing qualities on the yoga mat: powerful postures (asanas) with the possibility of leaving your comfort zone, combined with intensive stretching, relaxation pauses, breathing exercises and meditation to create and enjoy lightness and well-being.
