About the author
I know nothing about Kundalini Yoga. If you were to ask me how to perform mūlabandha, I would look at you blankly. I cannot, nor can anyone else for that matter, comprehend the essence of yoga. Yoga must unveil itself beyond your understanding. The goddess herself, just like you, does not know the way; she simply is the way. The way must repeatedly unfold each time according to the nature of your own heart. You are the one who must discover the way, new and full of life.
I grew up in Salzburg, Austria. When I was a little boy, I always yearned to see the magic that tantalisingly dwells behind appearance. I began practicing Tai Chi at a young age. At 16, I developed a love for sitting in the forest, trying to meditate or simply traveling in my dreams. I was alone in this in my village, with no teacher to guide me. Since I loved the forest and always wanted to protect the living world, I went to university to study environmental engineering and limnology. I worked as an engineer for several years, but in the end I felt drawn to settle down with the yoga that had always been my companion. I learned a gentle and loving Kundalini Yoga from Svāmī Vidjanand, student of Svāmī Satyānanda.
I continued to learn from my teacher and friend, Rainer in the tradition of Dhīrendra Brahmacārī. I also studied the Kashmir Śaiva traditions with the tantric Mark Dyczkowsky as transmitted by Svāmī Lakshman Joo.
In 2016, I opened a yoga studio in my beautiful city of Vienna, where I live and work. I practice and explore the secrets of yoga with my students both in my studio and all over Europe. I am extremely grateful to be allowed to share these live giving teachings with you.
May the great heart be with you.
