We talk about yoga.

Today I talk to Felix Klimpel, yoga teacher from Munich. He was my first teacher when I started with the practice of yoga. After a short breathing excercise led by him Felix tells us how his way as a yoga teacher began. I share a little bit about my first yoga class with him and my personal experiences.

We discuss questions like:

Which responsibilities does a yoga teacher has and how can you find the best yoga studio for yourself? Why does people start doing yoga, what is the difference and the connection between yoga in general and yoga asanas, what can we learn from the philosophy of yoga and which role does social media has...

How does a meditation look like after years of practice and what is yoga therapy?

Have you ever thought about the question 'what would you choose if you had to decide between yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation?' We did...

Stay with us to the very end if you want to hear what Felix shares about me...

Today I talk to Susanne and Jane, a mother/daughter team who have a passion for making a change.

Susanne was born in Germany, sailed around the world before making New Zealand her new home. She talkes about her personal experiences with moving to another country and shares how traveling influenced her way to see the earth. With a sustainable lifestyle she found her passion in making natural products that are beneficial for health and well-being. What started as a hobby, lead to her products being sold all around New Zealand.

Jane - her daughter grew up in the backyard of New Zealand while building little huts and climbing trees. She is dedicated to reducing plastic and waste consumption and looks for alternatives to single use plastics. She is also a certified Health coach. Her focus is around helping others to manage their anxiety.

With the desire to open a zero waste store where people could learn about natural products and about reducing waste the Eko Hub opened its doors and offers since then a variety of sustainable items.

We talk about traveling, heart decisions, zero-waste living and sustainable parenting. About mental health and society.

Join in, if you want to learn more about that and what the third generation is doing to make a change...

My interview guest is Treston Kederer. He grew up in the US and about two years ago he moved to Munich. A few months ago he texted me on instagram. This is what he wrote:

“Hello Julia, my name is Treston. I have been following you and your journey for the last year since I moved to Munich. I am very moved by how courageous you are, and the energy you bring to all situations of your life. You really opened up my mind and changed my perspective… With moving to Germany I was thinking about finding a corporate job to get experience, but then I realized how much waste big companies produce… in so many different aspects. I really took my time to make sure I ended up somewhere I like, that aligns with my values. I am now with Twostay Coworking that is a start-up founded in Munich.”

I invited him to my podcast to hear more about his personal story and the sustainable concept of Twostay Co-working.
