Oliver is an experienced yoga practitioner and teacher with over 20 years of dedicated study and practice. Originally from Germany, his yogic journey began in India more than two decades ago, where he immersed himself deeply in traditional yogic disciplines and austere practices.

He holds a Patanjali yoga certification obtained in Dharamshala and spent many years studying Kriya Yoga under the direct guidance of a Himalayan baba. During this formative period, Oliver undertook extended periods of intensive practice, including arana mauna—a discipline of complete silence—living for a full month in a cave above the last inhabited Himalayan villages. This prolonged silence and isolation served as a profound training in mental stillness, self-observation, and inner discipline.

Luisa, now his life partner of 20 years, was one of his early students, and their shared journey has evolved into a long-standing personal and professional partnership rooted in yoga, simplicity, and mindful living.

Oliver’s teaching is grounded primarily in Hatha yoga and classical yogic traditions, shaped by lived experience rather than rigid systems. His approach is adaptable and inclusive, thoughtfully adjusted to students of different ages, physical conditions, and experience levels, while maintaining respect for the depth and authenticity of traditional yoga.

His classes emphasize awareness, breath, and steady progression, offering students a grounded and authentic yoga experience informed by decades of practice in India.
