ABOUT AKASHA
A few words about us
In this modern world there is a widespread sense of separation. People often struggle to find authentic connection to themselves, others and their environment, making them feel isolated & meaningless.
If this continues, humanity won’t fulfil its potential and will continue to live in a dull and divided world obsessed with self-destruction.
Yoga is connection and intimacy with breath & life.
We provide a safe & dedicated space for people to truly immerse into Yoga, loving community and a new way of being; so that people can wake up every day full of purpose, love and a profound trust in life.

Kirsten & Burkhard both draw from more than 15 years of full-time research & practice. They each have more than 5000 hours of intensive teaching experience and continuously inspire others with their dedicated life-style. They have been living in Asia since 2007, and have had the opportunity to study full-time under various eminent spiritual & academic teachers.
During more than 4000 hours of committed education, they have explored Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha & Kundalini Yoga, Pranayama, Ayurveda, Yoga Sutras, Sanskrit, Mindfulness Meditation, and alignment, cultivating personal connections with superb teachers like A.G. & Indra Mohan, BNS Iyengar, Christopher Wallis, Reinhard Gammenthaler, and many others.
Their classical style of authentic breath-based Hatha Yoga is mostly influenced by the lineage of Krishnamacharya.
