My name is Claudia Ballhaus and I currently offer 2 regular yoga classes in the building next door to Hotel Birke, which always take place on Mondays. My classes are very much based on Katonah Yoga, a Hatha Yoga variation with a focus on healthy alignment, dynamic breathing practices, activation of the imagination as an aid to meditation. The background philosophy in my classes is Chinese medicine, in particular the 5-element teachings. My classes are therefore very seasonal.

My room is beautifully bright, comfortably furnished and contains all the things you need for your yoga practice.
We practise in a small group of a maximum of 10 people.
