Yoga and Mindfulness Retreats at HUBERTUS

Dear Dirk, what got you into yoga?
My wife practiced Aikido with me in the ’90s.
At some point, she switched to Bikram Yoga. And she took me along with her. From there, my journey continued further and further—to Power Yoga, Yin Yoga, fascia research, and so on.

How many years have you been practicing?
Since 1998

What makes it so special when it comes to coping with an increasingly stressful daily life?
Everyday life is just everyday life. From my perspective, it’s the real test. Real life presents you with challenges and stress that you have to overcome. To manage that (and not just some asana), you have to be at peace with yourself, have the ability to accept and love yourself, and slow down a bit.

What do your students appreciate most about your yoga classes?
Authenticity. And that I support them on their journey, rather than focusing on problems and subtly instilling fear in them.

What's the nicest compliment a yoga student has ever given you?
The real compliment is that they keep coming back.

Who is the yoga retreat at HUBERTUS best suited for? Athletic yogis, spiritual yogis, women, men?
Everyone can practice at their own level. Even if there are differences in athletic ability, I adapt the classes so that everyone benefits. It’s normal for people not to be at the same level, and it’s not necessary at all.
