Your Mountainflow Yoga Team

Lisa Burr

For 15 years, I've been guiding people on their journey to a healthy life!

I found my love for yoga through a roundabout route. Even in my youth, I tried out various sports and found myself drawn to anything that involved nature and movement. After graduating in Sports Science with a focus on rehabilitation and starting my career as a personal trainer in Cologne, I felt an increasing pull towards the mountains.

First a few years in Munich, then to Mittenwald and finally to the beautiful Bad Reichenhall. For more than 15 years now, I have been successfully supporting my clients in achieving their goals. I am always happy to share my expertise and, of course, my enthusiasm for movement, sustainability and (mountain) sports. After an accident while mountain biking about 8 years ago, I came into contact with yoga for the first time. And what can I say – it was love at first sight. Since then, I have been able to deepen my knowledge through various training and further education courses.

As a sports scientist, qualified yoga instructor and climbing coach with various specialised continuing professional development courses, I am particularly fascinated by the intense physical and mental growth achieved through the combination of yoga and mountain sports.

In my yoga classes, the focus is on optimal anatomical alignment in a mindful and intense practice, to bring body, mind and heart into harmony.

Most of all…happy.

Movement, nature, experience, and living have always been part of me. However, I only discovered my enthusiasm for yoga on my world trip when I realised that despite hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and running, I quickly reached my limits with all yoga poses. But it simply felt good for body, mind, and soul. So, at the end of my journey, I found myself at the beginning of my yoga path.

In 2020, I completed my training as a certified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher.

I enjoy practising and teaching yoga in a flowing Vinyasa style, alternating between dynamic, powerful and calm elements to engage the body as well as promote relaxation and stress reduction. Particular attention is paid to the conscious connection between breath and posture, which guides attention to the present moment and the aliveness pulsating within the body.

My yoga practice is not performance-oriented, but joy-oriented. Therefore, I am already looking forward to welcoming you to the mat, following the motto:

„If you can breathe, you can do Yoga” (T. Krishnamacharya)

Yoga as the perfect balance.

Since 2016, yoga has been an integral part of my wellness routine. Whether it's after a triathlon training session or before work.

I enjoy bringing together different elements from yoga and classical physiotherapy with patients.

Many are positively surprised by the added value regular exercise offers to body and soul. In my yoga classes, I particularly focus on being aware of one's own body on any given day. Each day feels different, whether during an intense holding pose or a relaxed stretch. And that's a good thing. Only in this way can you get to know your own body best and understand how to intuitively do yourself good.

The most important thing is to find a yoga style that suits you.

Just take your time to try it out. 🙂

Sonja Sullivan

My own yoga journey began over 20 years ago when I first stepped onto the mat in the Austrian mountains.

Since then, one thing has particularly fascinated me: the profound connection with the here and now that we can establish directly through our bodies. This practice has become a firm and indispensable part of my life.

As a yoga teacher, my focus is on the mindful interplay of active physical work and deep relaxation. This contrast of strength and surrender is, for me, the key to inner clarity and balance.

In my sessions, I will support you in deepening your connection with your body. We will work with an alignment-focused approach to promote stability, using breath as a supporting tool.

I invite you to discover and strengthen your own resources through conscious movement and mindful awareness.

It was only in adulthood that I understood what yoga truly means. I received my first impulses on this path already during gymnastics at primary school.

The lightness on the beam, the momentum of a jump, and the focused concentration during competitions have excited me from the very beginning. These early years in sport taught me, among other things, from an early age what a great, positive effect regular practice can have.

After my vocational training - intended as a bridge back into artistic gymnastics - I started with yoga; and it became much more than that.

My search for a highly qualified yoga education has led me to India/Rishikesh, the world-renowned yoga capital.

There, in 2023 and 2024, I completed two trainings as a certified yoga teacher, each lasting 200 and 300 hours.

Since that time, I have been teaching yoga and want to accompany my students on a path to improved health and greater balance. The focus is on expanding physical and mental boundaries, awakening one's own strengths, and positive thinking.

“The practice of yoga induces a primary sense of measure and proportion. Reduced to our own body, our first instrument, we learn to play it, drawing from it maximum resonance and harmony.”
— Yehudi Menuhin

I love exercise!

Even at 18, I took part in my first group classes – I was so enthusiastic that I immediately got my first coaching certificate. Since then, exercise, cycling, running and various workouts have accompanied me. 15 years ago, I discovered Pilates and was instantly enthusiastic about its holistic effect. It also personally relieved me of many ailments. I am very happy to pass on this experience.

In my classes, I deliberately focus on different body regions to balance the entire body. Annette supports me with various sounds, which help you connect with yourself even more and perceive the exercises on a deeper level.

Annette Schade

I love the abundance of possibilities!

At the last Yoga & Brunch, thanks to Lisa from Mountainflow Yoga Studio, I was able to accompany the participants with the handpan. The touching resonance gave rise to a new idea.

Pilates and Sound Baths
This is how I accompany Claudia in her Pilates class – with handpan sounds, singing bowls, and other soothing elements.

My journey began through my own chronic illness and trauma, leading me into the world of inner work and therapeutic methods such as prenatal bodywork.

Today I have arrived full of gratitude in the here and now – as a sound practitioner, fulfilled by my love for the handpan.

Kathi Krause

Keep it simple.

My yoga journey began from various directions simultaneously. In my work as a dancer, I sought strength, flexibility, and balance in yoga. At the same time, it became my important counterbalance to the demanding office routine – a space where I could breathe, let go, and find myself again.

For me, yoga means connection: with my own body, my breath, and the present moment. A balanced combination of strength and relaxation for body, mind, and soul.

And that's exactly what I'd like to share and pass on.

In my classes, I create a space where you can truly arrive and be with yourself. With mindful, clear guidance and a lot of heart, I support you in deepening your practice and discovering your own path in yoga.

Cornelia Schweneke

Free spirit with a love of nature

For over 20 years, I have been supporting people on their journey to greater well-being and have been able to deepen my holistic approach with each individual. For me, movement has always been life and life has always been movement.

But it was only my own physical problems that set me on the path of yoga.

After a few years of practice, I began my yoga teacher training in India in 2018. It was there that I also met my teachers, who continue to guide me today with their experience and deep knowledge.

Through studying naturopathy, I've increasingly been able to align my teaching style therapeutically and cater to practitioners with limitations. The yoga classes are characterised by flowing, strengthening exercises focusing on the breath. I invite you on a multi-faceted journey to yourself.

I have been practising yoga for over 15 years and have found in it a valuable balance and a deep connection with myself. In 2021, I completed my training as a Vinyasa yoga teacher. I am particularly enthusiastic about the powerful connection between movement and music, which makes every class lively and flowing.

Later, I did a Yin Yoga training to bring even more calm and depth to my practice. Yin Yoga offers me a space for relaxation and letting go, and that's exactly what I want to pass on in my classes.

I originally trained as a children's nurse, a profession that has shaped me and gifted me with great empathy and mindfulness in dealing with people.

My love of travel constantly inspires me anew; it brings fresh impetus, openness, and lightness to my teaching.

In my classes, I combine flowing sequences with calm, restorative moments, always with the aim of guiding you back into your balance.

My life's path has been very colourful. However, yoga has been a constant companion for me since 2005, when I first had the chance to try it at the dance academy, taught by an Indian couple. Since then, I've loved it and have had the opportunity to discover and practice different styles with many different teachers in various countries such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Austria.

Shortly before my yoga encounter, I came into contact with meditation, which has guided me through life for almost even longer. It was only a few years later that I realised what conscious breathing techniques can achieve and how mind-expanding and enriching the mix of yoga, breathing and meditation is. This path is calling me ever more strongly, and I would like to wholeheartedly pass on everything I have learned, and thereby grow together with other people in joy, peace, abundance, and love on all levels.

A brief professional excerpt: I worked for a long time in theatre as an actress and director. In addition, I also led numerous workshops on voice, presence, and performance, as well as initiating children's and youth theatre projects. After that, I worked for a few years as a presenter and editor at various radio stations. Currently, I support young children in their linguistic development.

Ich begleite Menschen dabei, sich wieder mit sich selbst, mit anderen und dem Leben verbunden zu fühlen.

Gesundheit, Heilung und ganzheitliches Wohlbefinden begleiten mich schon seit vielen Jahren – sowohl auf persönlicher als auch auf beruflicher Ebene.

Durch meine eigene Lebensgeschichte und die Erfahrungen mit körperlichen Symptomen, Stress- und Traumafolgen begann für mich eine immer tiefere Suche nach den Ursachen hinter Beschwerden, Gesundheit und echter Heilung.
Dabei wurde mir immer bewusster, wie wichtig es ist, den Menschen ganzheitlich zu betrachten – nicht nur körperlich oder mental, sondern in Verbindung von Körper, Geist, Emotionen, Nervensystem und Seele.

Dieses tiefe Interesse führte mich schließlich auch beruflich auf meinen Weg: Ich absolvierte ein Masterstudium im Bereich Gesundheitsmanagement sowie in Sporttherapie, Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung.

Besonders geprägt haben mich jedoch nicht nur Studium und Ausbildungen, sondern vor allem mein eigener Weg und die Erfahrung, dass echte Veränderung und Heilung möglich sind, wenn wir beginnen, wieder in Verbindung mit uns selbst zu kommen.

Seit über sechs Jahren praktiziere und erforsche ich Yoga, somatische Körperarbeit und achtsame Bewegung. Besonders am Herzen liegt mir dabei ein somatischer, intuitiver und traumasensibler Ansatz – fern von Leistungsdruck oder Perfektion.
In meinen Räumen geht es nicht darum, „funktionieren“ zu müssen, sondern darum, wieder zu fühlen, wahrzunehmen und im eigenen Körper anzukommen.

Elemente wie somatische Übungen, Atemarbeit, achtsame Bewegung, Meditation, Tanz, Naturverbindung, Waldbaden, Stimme und Nervensystemregulation fließen dabei intuitiv und ganzheitlich in meine Arbeit mit ein.

Mein Wunsch ist es, Räume zu schaffen, in denen Menschen sich sicher, willkommen und gesehen fühlen – mit allem, was gerade da ist. Räume, die dabei unterstützen, wieder mehr Erdung, Lebendigkeit, Verbindung und Vertrauen ins eigene Leben zu spüren.

Master of Arts: Gesundheitsmanagement, Prävention & Sporttherapie
Schwerpunkte u.a. in Gesundheitspsychologie, Neurologie & Orthopädie
Langjährige Praxis in Yoga, somatischer Körperarbeit & Nervensystemregulation
Atemarbeit, Entspannungsverfahren & achtsame Bewegung
Ganzheitlicher, ursächlicher, intuitiver & traumasensibler Ansatz

Yoga bedeutet die Verbindung zum eigenen Körper und Geist zu spüren..

Yoga begleitet mich schon seit vielen Jahren und ist auch nicht mehr aus meinem Leben wegzudenken.

Ob als Ausgleich zum Alltag, sportliche Auslastung oder Teil der Me-Time Routine.

Weil es mich so sehr erfüllt, entstand der Wunsch, das auch anderen Menschen nahe zu bringen und meine Art der Praxis mit ihnen zu teilen. Also absolvierte ich die Hatha-Yoga Ausbildung in Salzburg.

Dabei hat mich nochmal mehr überrascht, wie viel es über die Praxis und Theorie von Yoga zu lernen gibt und mich dem nochmal näher gebracht. Gleichzeitig vergesse ich nie, wie wichtig Bewegung für die Gesundheit des eigenen Körpers ist.

Ich versuche meine Leidenschaft dafür in alle meine Stunden hineinfließen zu lassen.

Mein Ziel ist es, dich alles um dich herum vergessen zu lassen und entweder in einer schweißtreibenden Power-Einheit oder einer klassisches Hatha-Einheit ganz mit dir selbst zu verbinden.

Also Matte ausrollen und los geht’s!

Meine Reise zum Yoga begann, als ich merkte, dass ich mich durch jahrelanges Training und dem Streben nach einem Körperideal immer weiter von mir selbst entfernt hatte.

Mein Körper war stark, doch innerlich fühlte ich mich leer – und genau das spiegelte mir mein Körper zunehmend durch klare Symptome wider. Die Signale wurden so laut, dass ich wusste, ich muss etwas ändern. So zog es mich nach Indien, wo ich meine Yogalehrerausbildung absolvierte – nicht primär, um zu unterrichten, sondern um wieder zu mir selbst zu finden. Dort entdeckte ich die Verbindung zu meinem Körper, die mir lange gefehlt hatte. Yoga half mir, meinen Körper wieder zu spüren, zu verstehen und anzunehmen – genau so, wie er ist.

In meinen Stunden möchte ich diese Verbindung weitergeben: mit Achtsamkeit und Respekt arbeiten wir gemeinsam mit dem Körper, nicht gegen ihn. Mein Unterrichtsstil kombiniert kraftvolle, stabilisierende Asanas mit ruhigen, regenerativen Elementen – eine Praxis, die sowohl kräftigt als auch nährt.

Neben dem Yoga bin ich Ernährungsberaterin mit Fokus auf Darmgesundheit und ausgebildete Fitnesstrainerin. Die Kombination aus Bewegung, Ernährung und Achtsamkeit hat mir geholfen, meine Beschwerden vollständig zu überwinden – und diese ganzheitliche Sichtweise fließt auch in meine Yogastunden mit ein.

Ich freue mich darauf, dich auf deiner Reise zu begleiten – hin zu mehr Körperbewusstsein, Kraft und innerer Balance.
