About

I was only twentyone and a dancer in New York City with severe hip problems, when I was introduced to these movement methods. They saved my dance career and lead me places I never dared to dream.

It is my belief that things need to be flowing and enjoyable - maybe even easy at times. That`s when life is the most fun and at it`s best. That`s when we feel whole and healthy. This is why I fell in love with this movement system from the start. It made me whole and I am still healthy. It brings body and mind into a flow, it is enjoyable and when mastered, it is even easy to train in any direction of one`s desire or need.

Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns. I train in both methods since 2000 but have not taught on an ongoing basis, due to other career options, family planning or personal interests. - Now, in August 2023, I will return to the stage of teaching both methods. Aikya is a small fitness club in Switzerland. There, I will teach group classes as well as one to one sessions.
