AS A CHILD...
… already connected to dancing and the desire to move, I danced ballet at a young age and then got into the intensive training of rhythmic gymnastics. I was in the Austrian national team for a few years and ended my career in competitive sports with a World Championships participation in 2008 due to injury.
I’ve always loved the combination of music, dance and the creativity that comes with it. Even the hard, daily training, in which I often reached my physical and mental limits, had its charm for me at that time.
When this powerful pressure was over, I realized how free and carefree I wanted to continue this passion for flexibility and dance. In addition to my studies, I have also completed an education as a dance teacher and trainer. The passion for flexibility became more and more important, which is why I would like to pass on my experiences to interested parties.
IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!
At the age of 16, I had a near-fatal accident. I broke my neck vertebrae in preparation for the European Championship, was paralyzed from the neck down for a short time and felt myself wheelchairbound for the rest of my life. Nevertheless, this time was one of the most valuable in my life. I had to live in a plaster from head to stomach for 8 weeks, which taught me patience.
I couldn’t compete in the European Championships, which taught me renunciation. I had surgery and was able to move almost as I did before, which taught me gratitude. I fought my way back into competitive sport and took part in the World Championships eight months later. This taught me perseverance and the knowledge that we can achieve anything if we want to and do something about it.
Many people do not trust themselves enough, do not believe in their potential and allow themselves to be restricted by social conventions. It is important to me that each of my students strengthens their self-esteem, which contributes significantly to progress. It all starts with a thought.
If I can do it, you can do it too!
