About Steph Jaksch Yoga

Me, myself & Y.

„Yoga is not just a passion for me, it's the heartbeat of my life.“

I am a renowned yoga instructor with over 20 years of experience guiding high-profile clients across the globe.

My journey into yoga began as I traveled the world, where I was profoundly inspired by my studies under legendary teachers like Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga. As a pioneer in introducing the dynamic NYC yoga style to Europe, I completed my advanced teacher training as early as 2005. My passion for learning has led me to study with esteemed international teachers such as Mark Whitwell, Brian Kest (Power Yoga), and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa (Kundalini Yoga), among others.

Through years of dedicated practice and extensive teacher training, I have cultivated a deep understanding of the body’s potential for transformation and emotional growth. My teaching is renowned for its blend of professionalism, approachability, and humor, making my sessions both profound and enjoyable. My unique teaching style seamlessly integrates various yoga disciplines, including Vinyasa, Kundalini, functional training, breathwork, massage, and meditation.

Fluent in both English and German, I bring a wealth of cross-disciplinary knowledge, including Kinesiology, Touch for Health, Astrology, emotional well-being, longevity, and nutrition. I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, from professional athletes and business executives to performance artists and entrepreneurs. Moreover, I specialize in Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga, offering personalized care and expertly tailored hands-on adjustments and massages.

I am celebrated for my ability to gently guide individuals out of their comfort zones with grace and compassion. I possess a unique talent for inspiring deep physical and emotional transformation in those I teach and work with. My passion for self-care shines through in every session, making me a perfect guide for anyone seeking physical transformation, emotional balance, or a deeper connection with themselves. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to yoga, I will lead you on an enriching journey of self-discovery and growth.

My TEachers

People who speak my soul language.

JIVAMUKTI YOGA

Jivamukti Yoga- In 1984 Sharon Gannon and David Life created the Jivamukti Yoga Method, which is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. They are pioneers in teaching yoga as spiritual activism/activation. The JY Method emphasizes vinyasa, scriptural study, devotion, prayer, music, chanting and meditation as well as animal rights, veganism, environmentalism and political activism. Jivamuktis passionate focus on the original meaning of the Sanskrit word „asana“ as seat, connection, relationship to the earth is as practical as it is radical at this time of global and consciousness shift.

Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa

Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, lovingly known as “Gurmukh” in the yoga world, loves to celebrate life. And how? People are always around her, eating, meeting, talking, having fun. She loves to bring people together. Every Sunday night after a hearty 2 hour yoga class, up to 90 to 100 people gather for a Sunday night dinner, creating the feeling of the old time “Family Get Together.”

Mark Whitwell

Mark Whitwell has enjoyed a life long relationship with the teachings of Professor T. Krishnamacharya „the teacher of the teachers,“ notably BKS Iyengar, K Pattabhi Jois, A G Mohan, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Indra Devi and TKV Desikachar. Having studied since 1973 in the home of Krishnamacharya with his son Desikachar, Mark is committed to communicating the timeless yoga principals with compassion and clarity.

Brian Kest about Yoga

A fitness routine based on aesthetics feeds your ego, not your spirit. By increasing your ego, you actually become more vulnerable, more susceptible to the everyday occurrences that are out of your control. By feeding your ego, you ignore what you truly need in order to create something your ego desires. Consequently, you end up working against yourself and your goal of health, and you actually create more imbalance.
