Through yoga, Sascha Delberg has found a path he deeply trusts, one that nourishes, soothes, and challenges him on many levels. This path supports his self-reflection, grows with him, and continuously evolves.

He feels fortunate to have learned from many respected teachers over an extended period, and to have assisted some of them. He has been a long-time student of Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, who, at the right time, satisfied his hunger for a deeper understanding of yoga and nurtured it for over a decade.

Sascha studied pranayama personally with various teachers, including O.P. Tiwari, Paul Dallaghan and Richard Freeman. His understanding has grown through his own practice and teaching others. Pranayama leaves him with a calm and contented mind and a sense of clarity.

He is deeply inspired by his meditation teachers Stephen Batchelor and Martine Batchelor, who have helped him gain a better perspective on his inner workings. Over the past 20 years, he has attended numerous meditation retreats across various traditions, some lasting up to a month.

Since 2017, he has immersed himself in yoga therapy and continues to draw inspiration from Doug Keller, whose approach has enriched his teaching.

Sascha’s classes combine Ashtanga elements with a deep focus on breath, therapeutic techniques, and a good dose of humor. His passion comes alive in Mysore-style sessions, where he supports students individually and guides them on their unique yoga journeys.

Together with his wife Romana, Sascha co-directs the Yogawerkstatt in Vienna. He teaches in yoga teacher trainings and workshops locally and internationally. After more than 20 years, his joy in teaching yoga is stronger than ever – a testament to the fulfillment yoga brings as both a practice and a way of life.
