In 2001, Ettie came in contact with yoga. During her stay in Miami for several years, she enjoyed a yoga teacher training in 2009, where she quickly found her style in Ashtanga through David Keil. At the Miami Life Center she studied daily with Tim Feldman, Kino McGregor and Greg Nardi.

Since 2011 she lives again in Switzerland with her husband and two children. Here she practiced with Michael Hamilton and Brett Porzio and assisted in the Mysore program at AIRYOGA in Zurich.

Ettie taught Vinyasa and Ashtanga inspired yoga lessons in Miami and Zurich. She studied at the Rosenberg Academy of Ayurveda, is an Ayurveda-specialist and Ayurveda psychological counselor. Additionally, in 2021 she has completed her training as a Natural holistic Ayurvedic Practitioner (‘Naturheilpraktiker’) with a specialty in Ayurvedic Medicine.

Ettie independently teaches private lessons and small groups in yoga. She believes in the manifestation of individual realizations through the magnification of one’s own but also the collective consciousness. To attain this, yoga is a great gateway.
