About me

I was given the name Suguna in a spiritual ceremony at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Bad Meinberg. This is where I ended up in 2020 when I was seriously ill and looking for a cure, and this is where my journey into my new life began.

After graduating from high school, I first studied art and special education and worked in various schools for 15 years. I am also still working as an artist.

When I fell ill with ME/CFS in 2014 after several bouts of flu and could not return to school, I went in search of a cure and found yoga.

At that time, I mainly had to lie flat on my back or sit in a wheelchair because my circulation collapsed if I stood or walked around for a long time. I was therefore too ill for Āsanas, but I was encouraged:  Concentrate on your breathing and repeat a mantra. The mantra Sōhaṁ  became my companion, as did Prāṇa Yoga exercises, which you use to control your breathing. The yoga of sound (Nāda yoga), mantras and thousands of years old breathing techniques became my therapy, and from a medical point of view there was no alternative for me either, as this disease is still not sufficiently researched and is hardly treatable.

 

I have become a new person through the transformative power of yoga, am gaining more and more physical strength and have sold my wheelchair. I spend a lot of time on a sailboat in my second home on Mallorca, because the warmth and the direct proximity to the sea have proven to be true healers alongside yoga.

 

I would now like to pass on my knowledge, in the form of a book and personally with my offer, which you can find here.
