(Dr.) Heidi Ittner

An energy-sapping academic research career filled with constant stress and pressure to perform led me to my first yoga class “”to compensate”” almost 20 years ago. I was fascinated: immediately I felt that this would change my life – that I had finally found what I had been searching for, more or less consciously, for a long time. And so, after only a few hours, incredulous friends heard me say that “”someday”” I would do a yoga teacher training course.

Still living in Hamburg at the time, I practised intensively in the Sivananda tradition for many years and yoga quickly became not just a valuable balance, but more and more a way of life. After moving to Munich and drastic career changes, I made 2011 my “”someday””, completed the Jivamukti TT and was also intensively inspired by Iyengar and Prana Flow Yoga.

“Mysore Style is the form in which Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is traditionally taught: a bit like an individual class, but together in a group.
The class is not led in the traditional sense, but the students practice individually at their own pace and with the intensity that suits them on the day, learning the series step by step. Everyone receives individual support and guidance. Over time, you build up your own practice, which is usually shorter at the beginning and grows with you at your own pace. Everyone practices for as long as they can and like – you just have to be ready within the time frame of the Mysore class. Beginners and advanced practitioners practice side by side and inspire each other – connected through the flow of the breath.

“Anyone can practice. Young man can practice. Old man can practice. Very old man can practice. Man who is sick, he can practice. Man who doesn’t have strength can practice. Except lazy people; lazy people can’t practice Ashtanga yoga.”” ~ Sri K. Pattabhi Jois”
