Stephen is a senior international yoga teacher. He leads Teacher Trainings, Workshops and Immersions across Asia and Europe. His teaching is deeply rooted in the traditional Yoga practices of asana, pranayama, and meditation. His philosophical background is influenced by studies in the Classical systems of Yoga Philosophy as well as Tibetan Buddhism and Tantra, enriching and informing his personal approach.
Stephen presents Yoga in its’ classical form, directly from lineage. In his teaching, he encourages a synthesis of physical effort (asana, cleansing kriyas, pranayama, etc.), with the study of sanskrit, chanting, meditation and devotion. Integrating these deep practices into the daily spectrum of one’s life is a central theme of his work. Stephen studies directly with O.P. Tiwari of Kaivalyadham, India and continues to evolve his knowledge in the fields of pranayama, therapy, healing, and Ayurveda. This lineage is one of the few living sources of authentic pranayama available. He has completed Advanced Pranayama Studies with Tiwari and continues to dedicate his personal practice and work to promoting health and transformation through this method of yoga. He has also undertaken a 3-year study of Yoga Philosophy with the scholar and author, Georg Feuerstein.
The asana component of stephen’s teaching is used as a way to purify and stabilize the system, and to re-integrate the mind/body/spirit complex. Through the asana, the joy of the body and breath are re-discovered and a gateway into the deeper realms of the practice is revealed. His asana studies form a major part of his teaching and have been influenced by the alignment principals of Iyengar, and the transformational elements of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system.
Stephen embodies the spirit of joy, respect and deep gratitude for those who have influenced him over the years, including, Sri.K. Patthabi Jois, B.K.S. Iyengar, Richard Freeman, Aadil Palkhivala, Paul Dallaghan and Patrick Creelman. Stephen teaches in English.

Susanna worked in the health and travel business, before she discovered Astanga Vinyasa Yoga in Fuerteventura in 1997. She proceeded to take a two months intensive teacher training with Nancy Gilgoff in Maui. In the period of 1999 to 2005, Susanna was teaching yoga with Bruno Dietziker in Zurich.

In 2007 Susanna completed her three-year training in yoga therapy with Remo Rittiner in Zurich. This was then followed by some additional training with Doug Keller.
Yoga therapy is a holistic approach, integrating body, breath and mind to recover a state of equilibrium.

It is with great care that Susanna includes her therapeutic approach into all of her classes.

Michael teaches from the heart and with body and soul. He combines the universal principles of alignment with his long experience as a zen-student of the Lassall-Glassman zen lineage. The unveiling of the soul of yoga, which makes every practice eventually blossom, is what distinguishes Michael's passion. Yoga is able to guide us to the source, to our inner strength and beauty, as a starting point to express ourselves. Every asana thus becomes an artistic expression of the heart and combines precision, balance and deep emotion. 
Besides teaching every one of his classes with payable passion, Michael successfully works as a product and exhibition designer (2ndwest.ch) and is the father of two children. He teaches his classes in German and English.

After first training as a landscaper and after his education to become a social worker, he studied dance for three years at the SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance). After graduation, he stayed on as a teacher. In 2003, his passion for dancing eventually brought Fabian to yoga. From the get-go, he was stoked.
