Meet Simona Kortenhaus
Yoga is part of Simona’s everyday life since more than 15 years. Working as a professional dancer and dance teacher she learned a lot about human body physics and also about her own body. Within her intensive work with the body and mind she also gained a lot of experience on different somatic practices.
Yoga is one of her favorite ways to bring the body into a flow and keep it agile and flexible. For her it’s a perfect combination of centering and strengthening the body. The structure of yoga allows her to work consciously through the whole body. That’s why Simona decided 2016 to become a trained Yoga teacher in addition to her dance profession. She is a certified (Hatha-) Yoga Teacher following the Yoga Alliance Standard (200h) and has done teacher trainings in Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga. Also, her parenthood and many travel experiences shaped her a lot. In combination with her empathy, she can support the Yoga students and gives space so that everybody can be one’s own teacher.
One of the most important topics of Simona’s Yoga practice and yoga classes is to take the time to feel the own body, to scan through, to concentrate on the breath in order to use it as motivation for movement. The breath gives her the possibility to release and gain energy for the whole body. Furthermore, the aim of her practice is to harmonize the breath and body in a way, that the mind can calm down and relax.
